On the Road Again: Take a Trip With Buick Enclave!
Think summer is the only season to load up the car and head off on a
family adventure? Think again! Winter can also be a wonderful
opportunity to take a road trip and create vacation memories that will
last a lifetime -- especially when your ride is the latest in
family-friendly luxury and safety, the new 2013 Buick Enclave.
Form Meets Function
The Enclave boasts a stylish exterior, but its good looks aren’t just skin deep. Inside, there are three rows of first class seating for up to eight passengers (no more kid squabbles over space!), a gorgeous and user-friendly high-tech instrument panel, and tri-zone climate controls. The cabin’s QuietTuning technology helps block external noise, which means you’ll be able to have actual family conversations while en route -- unless, of course, the kids are happier watching their favorite movie on the available overhead entertainment system. Another thing you might not hear: Cries of “Are we there yet?!” from the peanut gallery.
Room for All Your Stuff
So you’ve got a seat for everyone. What about your stuff? There’s plenty of room in the Enclave -- even with all three rows of seats up, there’s still more than 20 cubic feet of space in back [1], enough for a couple of small suitcases and a few other odds and ends, too. And if you’re a family of four, that cargo space triples when you flip the third row of seats down.
Mother’s Helpers
It’s the little details that moms will really appreciate: second-row seats that slide forward using just one hand (because when do you ever have both hands free?), a power liftgate, a USB port [2] for your smartphone, and voice-activated everything.
Last But Not Least: Safety First
With seven airbags (including a new front center air bag between the two front passengers), a Rearview Camera System to check behind the vehicle, Side Blind Zone Alert [4] to make lane changes easier, and OnStar Directions and Connections standard for the first six months, Buick Enclave has you and your precious cargo completely covered.
So pack your bags, grab the kids and load up the Enclave for a family road-trip adventure. After all, shouldn’t getting there be half the fun?

GM hopes new Buick Encore appeals to younger buyers
General Motors hopes to carve out a new auto sales segment with the all-new Buick Encore compact crossover, which hit U.S. showrooms last weekend.
The automaker also expects the Encore to continue the brand’s momentum among younger buyers and people who don’t own a GM product.
Tony DiSalle, vice president of marketing for Buick and GMC, said dealers are reporting “twice as many hand-raisers for Encore as for Verano” when that vehicle was released in late 2011.
The brand’s overall conquest average rose from 27% to 43% over the last half decade. More than 50% of Verano buyers are new to Buick.
“That’s part of the mission for this brand,” DiSalle said this morning. “Verano is really the conquest leader in the pack, so we’d anticipate Encore to also conquest well for the brand.”
The five-seat Encore enters a relatively new segment of small crossovers hat several automakers believe will balloon in size over the next few years. GM believes it will appeal especially to young professionals and empty-nesters.
The crossover ranges in price from $24,950 for the basic model to $28,840 for the premium package with combined average fuel economy of 28 miles per gallon on the front-wheel drive version.
The Encore’s introduction comes as the average age of Buick buyers has fallen over the last five years from 64 to 57. GM says Buick is the only major brand in the U.S. to lower its average age over that time.
“Now that we’ve got a second crossover in the portfolio we’re going to see new folks again coming into the showroom,” said Lloyd Biermann, marketing manager for the Buick Enclave and Encore crossovers. “They’re going to be younger, as well.”
The Encore could compete against vehicles like the Volkswagen Tiguan and the forthcoming Fiat 500L. GM said it expects 60% of Encore buyers to be women.
“Here’s what we see at auto shows: ‘Wow, I never knew I needed one until I saw it, I didn’t know it existed,’” DiSalle said.
Built in South Korea, the Encore is badged as the Opel Mokka in the European market. In China, Buick’s biggest market, dealers ordered 6,000 Encores in the vehicle’s first month this fall.
