The Buick Enclave crowns GM's newest batch of crossover SUVs, a group that also includes the GMC Acadia. Like its sibling, the Enclave offers three rows of seats standard, with seating for up to eight passengers.
There are no significant changes for 2010.
At nearly 202 inches bumper-to-bumper, the Enclave is about an inch longer than the Acadia. The XC90 and MDX are both about a foot shorter.
- Sculpted ellipsoid headlights
- Waterfall grille and louvered gills
- Standard 19-inch aluminum wheels, 20-inch chrome-clad wheels optional
- Dual exhaust
Buick says the Enclave's interior strives to emulate that of a private jet. The second-row bucket seats slide forward and back, and the second and third rows fold to provide extra cargo room. With both rows stowed, maximum cargo room totals 115 cubic feet — considerably more than the XC90 (85.1) or MDX (83.5).
- Standard bucket seats in the first and second rows
- Three-passenger third-row bench
- Optional three-passenger second-row bench seat
- Optional heated and cooled seats for driver, front passenger
- Optional navigation system and Bose 10-speaker stereo
A 3.6-liter V-6 is the only engine available in the Enclave. It pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission. When properly equipped, the Enclave can tow up to 4,500 pounds.
- 288 horsepower and 270 pounds-feet of torque
- Six-speed automatic transmission
- Optional all-wheel drive
Standard safety equipment includes:
- Four-wheel-disc antilock brakes
- Electronic stability system with rollover mitigation technology
- Six standard airbags, including side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain airbags for all three rows
- During a rollover, side curtain airbags stay inflated for several moments to provide additional protection

The 2010 model year marks the first complete redo of Buick's LaCrosse since the competent but uninspiring midsize sedan made its 2005 debut. Though it shares aspects with the Chevrolet Malibu and Saturn Astra, the LaCrosse is intended to compete with premium or near-luxury models like the Volkswagen Passat. It was designed in the U.S. and China, where Buick has a significant presence.
Though it's a midsize sedan, the LaCrosse is a bit larger in all dimensions than the Malibu, and a few hundred pounds heavier. The grille is large and bold, and there's a distinctive accent line that runs along the side from headlight to taillight. It's a stronger statement than the previous generation, but Buick hasn't redefined itself to an extent that will turn off traditional buyers.
The three trim levels are distinguished more by equipment than cosmetic aspects. The CX has 17-inch wheels. The CXL has 18-inch wheels and adds fog lights and turn-signal indicators on the side mirrors. The CXS has chrome 18-inch wheels, but 19-inchers are optional.
The interior is modernized with features like ambient LED lighting and optional navigation, Bluetooth compatibility, analog and digital stereo inputs and a dual-display DVD video system for the backseat, but it doesn't trade the classic interior for anything too edgy. There are wood accents, high-quality materials and contrasting-color stitching. The backseat truly has room for three passengers.
The LaCrosse comes with one of two V-6 engines: a 255-horsepower 3.0-liter in the CX and CXL, and a 280-hp 3.6-liter in the CXS. Both are direct-injection designs, a relatively new development in gasoline engines that portends good gas mileage for the engines' size and power. Both engines drive the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. The middle trim level is eligible for all-wheel drive.
The LaCrosse is tuned for a softer, quieter ride than GM's other midsize sedans.
The LaCrosse has front airbags, side-impact airbags for the front seats and curtain airbags that cover all the side windows. Antilock brakes and an electronic stability system with traction control are also standard, as is OnStar with a year's free subscription. Options include adaptive headlights, which swivel in the direction of a turn, and a blind spot warning system.
