2012 New York: Refreshed 2013 Buick Enclave Completes Updated Lambda Trio

2013 Buick Enclave front 300x187 imageLike the updated Traverse and Acadia, the Enclave gets some minor touch-ups up front. The 2013 Enclave benefits from new headlights with standard HIDs, halo-effect blue rings, and an LED lighting strip as well. Buick also gives the Enclave a new grille finished in black chrome. Out back, the Enclave uses LED taillights and chrome exhaust tips. Eighteen-inch wheels come standard while 19- and 20-inch wheels are available.

Inside, the 2013 Enclave gets better materials and chrome accents in addition to a handful of new color combos. Blue ambient LED lights are now spread throughout the cabin for a more airy feel. Three-row seating is still standard, in seven- and eight-passenger configurations. Buick’s Intellilink infotainment system is now standard across the board.

As is the case in its Chevy and GMC siblings, the Buick Enclave remains unchanged under the hood. The sole powerplant is a 288-hp and 270 lb-ft of torque 3.6-liter V-6. The Enclave is available in front- and all-wheel-drive forms, with a six-speed automatic transmission. For more on the 2013 Enclave, head to our First Look article HERE.
