2018 Buick Enclave Premium: Sophisticated Comfort for Central Illinois Families
Imagine starting your morning in Paris, IL, where the quiet sunrise meets the dew on the fields. You settle into the refined cabin of the 2018 Buick Enclave Premium, a vehicle designed to transform your daily commute into a serene retreat. Whether you are heading out for a weekend at the lake or simply navigating the school run, this Sport Utility vehicle offers the space and elegance required for a busy lifestyle. The Satin Steel Metallic exterior reflects a professional yet understated aesthetic that fits perfectly in any driveway from the historic streets of Shelbyville, IL to the vibrant neighborhoods of Charleston.
This Enclave is more than just a means of transportation; it is a mobile sanctuary. With its spacious three-row configuration and premium materials, it caters to families who refuse to compromise on quality. The Dark Galvanized interior with Ebony Accents provides a sophisticated backdrop for every journey, ensuring that whether you are traveling across the county or just across town, you do so in absolute style.
Performance and Refined Capability
Under the hood, the 2018 Buick Enclave Premium is powered by a robust 3.6L V-6 gasoline direct injection engine. This DOHC powerplant features VVT variable valve control, delivering a smooth and confident 310HP. This power is managed by a sophisticated 9-speed automatic transmission, which includes an overdrive feature and electronic control for seamless shifts. Whether you are merging onto the highway near Effingham, IL or cruising through the gently rolling farmland of the surrounding areas, the powertrain provides consistent, reliable performance.
The Enclave is built on a Front Wheel Drive platform, optimized for efficiency and a composed ride. The Premium Ride suspension utilizes an independent front strut suspension and a multi-link rear setup to soak up road imperfections. To further tailor your driving experience, the Interactive Drive Control System offers a selectable mode transmission, allowing you to adapt the vehicle's dynamics to the road conditions. Efficiency is also a priority, with the Auto stop-start engine technology helping to maintain an EPA-estimated 26 MPG on the highway, making those longer trips through central Illinois more economical.
Advanced Technology and Connectivity
Staying connected is effortless in the Enclave Premium. The heart of the cabin is the Buick Infotainment System with an 8-inch primary touchscreen. This system includes Integrated Navigation, ensuring you always find the quickest route to your destination. For modern smartphone users, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device mirroring are standard, allowing you to access your favorite apps, music, and messages directly through the vehicle's interface.
The audio experience is elevated by the Bose Performance-Enhanced Premium 10-Speaker System, which works in tandem with Active Noise Cancellation to provide a crisp, studio-quality sound environment. Passengers will appreciate the 6 USB ports distributed throughout the cabin, ensuring everyones devices stay charged. Additionally, the Buick Connected Access provides long-term connectivity for vehicle diagnostics and dealer maintenance notifications, while the OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation offers an extra layer of guidance for your travels.
Interior Luxury and Versatile Comfort
The interior of the Enclave Premium is a masterclass in ergonomics and luxury, featuring Leather front seat upholstery and a leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy Heated and Ventilated seats, providing year-round comfort regardless of the Illinois weather. The Memory Package stores settings for the drivers seat, outside mirrors, and the Power Tilt and Telescopic Steering Column, making it easy for multiple drivers to find their perfect position.
Versatility is key for families in Arcola, IL, and the Enclave delivers with 7-passenger seating. The second row features Heated outboard bucket seats, while the 3rd Row 60/40 Power Fold Split-Bench can be tucked away at the touch of a button to expand the cargo area. A Front Power Sliding Moonroof and a fixed rear sunroof bathe the cabin in natural light. Practical touches like the 120-Volt Power Outlet, Tri-zone automatic climate control, and the Hands-free power liftgate with a projected Buick logo make loading groceries or gear a simple, premium experience.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is paramount in the 2018 Buick Enclave Premium, which comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies. The Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert acts as an extra set of eyes on the highway, while Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning helps ensure you stay centered in your lane. For low-speed maneuvers, the Front and Rear Park Assist and the Rear Vision Camera provide confidence when navigating tight parking spots in downtown Charleston.
The Enclave also features Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking and a Following Distance Indicator to help mitigate potential collisions. In the event of a hazardous situation, the Safety Alert Seat provides haptic feedback to the driver. The vehicle is protected by a system of 7 airbags, including a front center airbag, and features LED daytime running lights and IntelliBeam Auto High Beam Headlamp Control to optimize visibility for both the driver and other road users.
Exterior Design and Elegance
The exterior of the Enclave Premium is finished in a striking Satin Steel Metallic paint, accented by Chrome front and rear bumper inserts and a black grille with a chrome surround. The vehicle sits proudly on 18-inch Painted Aluminum Wheels, which complement the sleek, aerodynamic lines of the body. LED bi-functional projector headlamps with Buicks signature Evonik accents provide a modern lighting signature that is both functional and beautiful.
Design details like the Rear lip spoiler, Chrome side window trim, and Roof rails add a touch of athletic utility to the Enclave's sophisticated silhouette. The Active grille shutters help improve aerodynamics at highway speeds, while the Heated power-adjustable mirrors feature integrated turn signals and an auto-dimming function on the drivers side. Every element of the exterior has been crafted to present an image of refined capability.
