Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Reviewers say the Enclave stands out in its segment for its sleek, stylish exterior. 

• "As one of the few vehicles to make it from concept to production without having its exterior styling diluted, the 2009 Buick Enclave offers a bolder appearance than many crossover SUVs. While large enough to accommodate eight passengers, the Enclave's artful body lines give it the look of a much smaller vehicle." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "The Enclave's body panels are unique; a single horizontal line starting in the middle of the aggressive waterfall grille circles the vehicle, and all the styling elements -- from the curved front fenders to the taper in the rear seemingly hang off this departure point." -- Road and Track
• "Enclave is the best looking Buick to hit the streets in years. From the delightfully tight and tidy panel gaps to available 19-inch chrome rims, the Enclave looks good -- and dare we say surprisingly young." -- AutoWeek
• "In the rear, the chrome-encircled taillights really pop. The Enclave also has my favorite exterior feature -- a push-button power liftgate! I cannot tell you how much I love this. Simply push the button on the key fob and the gate opens. To close it, push another button on the door itself. There's no grunting, reaching or 'umph!'-ing to get the gate closed. Yay!" -- Mother Proof
