Buick is one of the oldest names in the American automotive industry. It was founded more than a century ago by David Dunbar Buick, who started the organization as a manufacturer of internal combustion engines.Today it's known for upscale interiors, reliability and affordable prices. Buick has an all-SUV lineup that includes the Envista, the Envision, the Encore GX, and the Enclave. Here's an overview so can compare Buick SUVs and then see them in person at Jo-Dan Buick GMC in Moosic, PA.
The new Buick Enclave
The Buick Enclave is a mid-size SUV with three rows and it’s the one to choose if you need enough seating for a family of seven. The Enclave is the largest SUV in the Buick lineup and it surrounds your family with a quiet cabin while delivering a smooth, comfortable ride. A 328-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder is the exclusive engine in all Buick Enclave SUVs and it can take you to 60 mph in about 6.5 seconds. When it's equipped properly, the new Buick Enclave has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. One of the Enclave's special strengths is the spacious cabin, with some of the most cargo room in its class, so if you put a high priority on a spacious interior, it’s the Buick to get.
The new Buick Envision
The Buick Envision is a compact SUV that slots above the Encore GX and below the Enclave in terms of overall size. It’s equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and it provides you with a quiet, comfortable cabin. Perhaps the strongest selling point in the new Buick Envision is the very affordable price that lets you get a fully-equipped model for the price of a more entry-level premium SUV. A top-level Avenir trim in the new Envision will give you upscale touches like a massaging driver’s seat, heated and ventilated front seats, and quilted leather upholstery – so if luxury matters to you, seriously consider the Envision.
The new Buick Encore GX
The Encore GX is the smallest vehicle in the Buick lineup and it’s also the most popular model Buick makes. If you want to keep your costs to a minimum, the Encore GX is one of the most affordable Buick models and yet it looks like it cost more than it did. The new Buick Encore GX lets you select either of two turbocharged three-cylinder engines. The entry-level option is a 1.2-liter with 137 horsepower or you can get an available 1.3-liter version with 155 horsepower.
Scranton, PA buyers can get a continuously variable automatic transmission with front-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive system that connects to a nine-speed automatic. The Encore GX with all-wheel drive and the bigger four-cylinder can reach 60 mph in 8.8 seconds. With front-wheel drive, the turbocharged 1.3-liter engine in the Encore GX can give you 31 MPG on the highway and the 1.3-liter with all-wheel drive is rated at 29 MPG. So the Encore GX is the one to get if fuel economy is an important value for you. The interior has a premium feel and the front passenger seat can fold flat, making it simpler to load longer cargo.
The new Buick Envista
The Envista is a subcompact SUV with an attractive interior and appealing exterior design. It comes with a very low starting price, especially when you consider that it has amenities like an 11.0-inch touch screen infotainment system, an 8.0-inch digital gauge display and automatic high-beam headlights. The new Buick Envista is the entry-level Buick SUV, so if price is your highest priority, it’s the Buick to get.
