The 2017 Buick Enclave is the leader in the clubhouse of all mid-size luxury SUVs, thanks in part to its cross-generational appeal.

 

We all know how difficult it is to get parents and children to agree on anything. Whether it’s music, movies, or politics, we’ve all been part of those conversations at the dinner table where an agreement just can’t be reached. (Mom and Dad’s lectures on the brilliance of “The Godfather” or Prince’s albums fall on deaf ears to today’s youth who can’t sit through a slow-paced, 3-hour epic and would rather pick and choose single songs from iTunes rather than listen to a full album.)

 

But thanks to the 2017 Buick Enclave, there is something mother/father and child can fully appreciate in unison.

The reviews are in, and the 2017 Buick Enclave is getting universal praise.

• The 2017 Buick Enclave is “comfortable and classy…and still looks regal”
  • Aaron Cole
  • The Car Connection’s Managing Editor
• “The 2017 Buick Enclave, an upscale yet still practical crossover that undercuts luxury-branded rivals on price”
  • Edmunds
• “The Enclave delivers one of the most comfortable rides in this class,”
  •  Joe Tralongo
  • Kelley Blue Book Contributing Editor

 

Liberty Buick GMC is the Charlotte area’s dealership of choice for all of your Buick needs. Liberty Buick has over thirty 2017 Buick Enclaves on the lot waiting for that family to come adopt them.

Liberty Buick GMC offers the three main trims for the 2017 Buick Enclave: Convenience, Leather, and Premium.

Take a look below at all three impressive trims.

2017 Buick Enclave Convenience– Quicksilver Metallic

2017 Buick Enclave Leather FWD – Ebony Twilight Metallic

2017 Buick Enclave Premium FWD – White Frost Tricoat

If you have read this far and stared at those three impressive Enclaves, you’re obviously interested and intrigued. Let’s now take a deep dive into why the 2017 Buick Enclave is a hit with both parents and kids.

 

INTERIOR

We’ve all been in that pickle where we need to load up our car or small SUV with members of the little league team or with suitcases for that family vacation but we can’t jam everyone and everything in. So we end up taking both family vehicles, wasting gas and contributing to the traffic nightmare of our local city.

Like a superhero, the 2017 Buick Enclave has come to save the day.

 

The 2017 Buick Enclave is a wide-open, crossover SUV that comfortably seats 7 passengers…that’s mom, dad, and the entire starting 5 of the little league basketball team! The second row riders will appreciate the elevated seating and generous legroom. These second-row captain’s chairs bend, fold, and flip like a gymnast, allowing for easy maneuverability. Even with the third-row bench, the 2017 Buick Enclave allows for 23 cubic ft. of cargo space, perfect for lugging groceries, equipment, and suitcases. This cargo space is vastly multiplied to 115 cubic ft. of storage room when the second and third rows are folded down.

As much as the kiddos will love the extra space and wiggle-room, the adults will appreciate the interior beauty of the 2017 Buick Enclave. The upscale dash, the wood-trim, and the soft-touch materials make for a beautiful aesthetic. Other interior amenities that adults will appreciate include:

• The IntelliLink touch-screen display
• Brushed chrome accents
• Available leather-appointed seating
• Available heated and cooled front seats
• Available heated steering wheel
• Available 8-way power-adjustable front seats

Whether it’s listening to music or enjoying a family conversation, Enclave families will appreciate QuietTuning™ technology which blocks and absorbs vibrations and noise thanks to acoustic laminated glass and triple door sealing.

 

EXTERIOR

Parents appreciate a bold, handsome vehicle, but so do kids. Young teenagers don’t want Mom or Dad picking them up from a friend’s house in some ten-year old, scratched up sedan. The 2017 Buick Enclave has the looks the entire family will be proud of.

Robust at 202 inches in length, the 2017 Enclave is an impressive sculpture to behold, with its chrome accents, LED lighting accents, 19-inch alloy wheels, and automatic xenon headlights.

Parents will be thankful for the rear power liftgate that lifts with the simple touch of a button. Second row riders will be in awe of the available power moonroof that gives them that awesome open-air breeze and view. Other drivers will be envious when they look in their rearview mirrors and see that iconic Buick waterfall grille.

 

PERFORMANCE

Like all Buick vehicles, the Enclave provides a stellar and impressive performance in:

• Steering
• Braking
• Handling
• And has a smooth and quiet ride, that all riders will appreciate, thanks to its dual-flow suspension and its StabiliTrak technology with traction control.

The 2017 Buick Enclave is powered by a 288hp 3.6L V-6. It comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. (Gear up with the available all-wheel drive on Leather and Premium models.) For drivers with towing needs, the Enclave can be equipped to tow up to 4,500 pounds.

 

SAFETY

Families must consider a vehicle’s safety features when in the market for a crossover SUV. Parents need to trust that their SUV can withstand damaging impacts, as well as provide the latest technological safety features. Thankfully, the 2017 Buick Enclave is synonymous with safety and control.

The Buick Enclave has earned the top score by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests in the following categories: moderate-overlap front impact test, head restraint, roof strength, side-impact. It also was awarded a top five-star rating by the government for overall crash protection.

At over 200 inches long, weighing in at over 4,700 pounds, the 2017 Buick Enclave is equipped with the following safety features:

• Anti-lock brakes
• Airbags for all three rows
• The first-of-its-kind front-center airbag
• Rearview camera
• Stability and traction control
• OnStar System that includes on-demand roadside assistance and automatic crash notification

You can enhance your 2017 Buick Enclave’s already stellar safety capability with the following available safety features (some of which are standard in the Leather and Premium Enclaves):

• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
• Side Blind Zone Alert
• Lane Departure Warning
• Forward Collision Alert

 

TECHNOLOGY

Today’s parents grew up in a time when technology was not part of our everyday driving/riding experience. We manually pushed buttons deep into the dashboard to get to our favorite radio stations; we engaged in the license-plate game on road trips; we gazed out into nature while riding in the back. Today’s children couldn’t and wouldn’t last three seconds in that “boring,” technology-free environment. Buick knows this and has equipped its 2017 Enclave with all the technological perks and gadgets that are now standard in today’s driving culture.

The Buick IntelliLink system is the standard bearer of today’s automobile technology. Parents and children can demand the Enclave to play music or make calls thanks to voice recognition capabilities.

Children will go bonkers for the available 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot that works for up to seven devices. Parents will go bonkers for the available Navigation feature that works with the IntelliLink system to provide voice-activated directions and real-time traffic info.

For those lengthy vacation trips, the back two rows will be amazed by the available rear-seat entertainment system that includes an 8-inch flat screen, a DVD player, and surround sound.

It only took a few thousand years, but finally there is one thing parents and children can agree on…the 2017 Buick Enclave is the only mid-size luxury SUV that should be parked in the driveway. Priced below many of its luxury SUV competitors, the 2017 Buick Enclave is the overwhelming choice for today’s families.

THE EXTERIOR

Driving the Liberty Buick GMC Yukon Denali creates a bold appearance that will fit your professional reputation while sparking your sporty and adventurous side. The extreme look is achieved through well-defined features that differentiate the appearance from the SLT vehicle. The most vivid exterior feature is the high style, signature honeycomb grill that is only found in the Denali brand.

This grill is highly noticeable and by first glance immediately distinguishes the vehicle from any other brand. The honeycomb grill sends a vibe of luxury, elegance, and professionalism.

The Yukon Denali features fearless headlights and LED signatures that help create a distinguished look through their iconic design. The wheels create a striking look through aluminum wheels and bold chrome accents that develop with the honeycomb grill to provide that best exterior appearance.

The exterior features of this well-developed design are essential to the professional in today’s fast-pasted environment. Have your hands full?

The keyless entry system allows drivers to enter the vehicle and start the engine without even having their keys in hand! All that’s needed is to have the keys in a bag or pocket nearby. But it gets even better, another convent feature is the hands-free power rear lift gates. This feature allows you to open the trunk simply by waving your foot under the car.

 

THE INTERIOR

The exceptional interior design creates a luxurious style that is comfortable and fit for the vehicle. Unlike other style vehicles, the Denali takes the interior to the next level creating a premium approach to comfort. Every aspect of the interior design is taken to the professional-grade for luxury, comfort, and style.

MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL – Tired of pot holes or bumps in the road messing up the ride or disturbing the sleeping little ones? The Denali has magnetic ride control to help adjust the vehicle for whatever comes its way. When the front wheels approach a hole or bump in the road, the back wheels immediately adjust to create a smooth sailing ride.

CUSTOMIZABLE DRIVER DISPLAY – The Denali also features a customizable digital dash that allows drivers to customize it based on what is most beneficial to them. The customizable dash has three different layouts that contain different features and styles. The layouts are standard, technology, and media. The standard dash is the most common and contains the normal view. The technology setting show the features in a circular dash and the media use a vertical layout.

FOUR-COLOR HEAD-UP DISPLAY – the Denali uses a heads-up display (HUD) that places a screen on the windshield. This allows the driver a safe way to check things like the speed limit or GPS directions without ever having to take their eyes off the road.  The heads-up display can show you the speedometer, the correct speed limit, and GPS directions.

Your crew deserves a truck that can handle anything thrown at it. A truck designed to thrive in those inevitably sticky situations on a job site that call for heavy duty pulling or towing. Your crew deserves a GMC Sierra.

THE TYPE OF TRUCK YOU AND YOUR CREW USE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF WORK YOU PERFORM. Walk on any job site and see what they drive: a mix-matched bunch of old clunker trucks with rust spots and different colored panels. Or maybe shiny new trucks, but ones that are puny and cheaply made.

But what about a job site with sleek, durable trucks, which look to be made for hauling heavy loads and pulling large machinery. Trucks with sleek designs and bold features. Would you feel differently about this crew? Most likely, you would.

Your truck tells how organized you are. It tells what type of work you can handle and how serious you are about what you are doing.

Choosing a make and model of truck for your crew is integral to the success of your business. So why choose anything other than the best?

CHOOSE A SIERRA TRUCK

Since 1902, GMC has been making other truck companies envious with the Sierra. Through the years, the venerated Sierra truck has won countless awards, including this year’s naming of the Sierra 1500 as the Texas Truck Showdown Towing Champion. This award is given after a grueling compatibility test is performed on various high-end trucks by editors from Cars.com, PickupTrucks.com, and MrTruck.com.

GMC SIERRA 1500 NAMED THE TEXAS TRUCK SHOWDOWN TOWING CHAMPION

But you don’t have to take other people’s word for it (as qualified though they may be). Come in to LIBERTY BUICK GMC TRUCKS today and open the hood of an all-new Sierra and see for yourself just how impressive the mechanics to this machine are.

Examples:
When it comes to performance, you will not find a better truck.

• On the lowest end, the Sierra comes with:
  4. a 4.3-liter, V-6 engine
  5. that can go from 0 mph to 60 mph in just under 8 seconds.

• If the work you do requires a bit more power:
  5. 3-liter, V-8 engine that
  6. has 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque.
  7. And, this bigger engine can tow up to 11,100 pounds!

• If you need even more power, there is another:
  6. 2-liter, V-8 engine
  7. 12,500 pound towing capacity
  8. 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Now that is a lot of power.

 

IF THE SIERRA’S PERFORMANCE LEVELS IMPRESS YOU, WAIT UNTIL YOU EXPERIENCE THE COMFORT AND QUALITY OF ITS CABIN.

 

The interior of the GMC Sierra is large. There is plenty of room to stretch and move around. The seats themselves are plush and easy to nestle into. The driver’s seat allows you to position yourself perfectly thanks to the power-adjustable pedals and steering wheel that tilts and telescopes.

There are plenty of soft-touch materials covering the interior, and chrome accents border sections of the dash’s control panel and steering wheel to make the cabin pop. Ambient lighting sets a comforting, cool mood.

Drivers also get up to five USB ports with both 12- and 110-volt compatibility points so that you are able to charge just about anything from your phone to a laptop. There is more than enough storage room in the middle section of the front seat, and even more can be found in the door panels and below the seats. And, to isolate the interior from the exterior, triple door seals are used to block outside noise from polluting the quite and smooth ride within.

This leads us to the drive itself. All Sierra trucks operate with a front strut and rear leaf-spring suspension. This provides extra cushion and makes the impact of bumps and potholes virtually nonexistent. And if you are worried about drive quality when hauling extra big loads, you can opt for the Magnetic Ride Control, which helps reduce intense up-and-down motions. And, the steering and control to the Sierra, no matter what you are hauling or pulling, are responsive and fluid.

 

WHICH SIERRA IS THE BEST FIT FOR YOU?

So you have narrowed your search to the Sierra. It drives, looks, and feels the best. Now the question is which Sierra, the 1500, 2500, or 3500? Let’s start by looking at some specific specs and features to each of the three.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sierra 1500

The base line 1500 is available in a 5.3- or 6.2-liter EcoTech3 V-8 engine. In certain trim levels the 1500 comes with the Z71 off-road suspension system. And, GMC LED daytime running lights, Stabilitrak, a corner step rear bumper, hydraulic body mounts, and triple door seals come standard with all Sierra 1500 trim levels. As far as towing, the 1500 can handle up to 9,400 pounds with ease. This truck is good for hauling and pulling, and truly excels in drive quality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sierra 2500

Stepping it up a notch, the 2500 offers everything the 1500 does and more. It comes with a 5.3-liter, V-8 or a 6.6-liter, V-8 Duramax diesel engine. The 2500 also has an Allison Series 1000 transmission, an available spray-on bed liner, and digital steering assist. And, it has a whopping 14,500 pounds towing capacity. If you need something that can handle those heavier loads and pull some bigger equipment, the Sierra 2500 is for you and your crew.

 

 

 

 

 

Sierra 3500

At the top level, the 3500 exceeds expectations. This truck was built especially for trailering and hauling, and can handle as much as 23,200 pounds (using fifth-wheel trailering). The 3500 comes with Digital Steering Assist to help keep control of those heavy payloads, and there is what’s called Hill Start Assist, which momentarily holds the breaks while you switch your foot from the brake pad to the gas. This is especially useful on inclines or unstable surface areas. The 3500 offers everything the other two models do, plus a few extras like an EZ-Lift and Lower tailgate, chrome trailering mirrors, an automatic locking rear differential, and comes in a 6.2-liter engine or a 6.6-liter, V-8 Duramax diesel.

 

But the best part of choosing a GMC Sierra is that you can basically build your own. There are numerous Sierra packages to choose from and even more trim level features to sift through and add on. So if there are aspects you like of all three models of the Sierra, you can actually piece together a version that works perfectly for what you need. This is helpful because you don’t end up getting your crew trucks that have unneeded features or capabilities. This way, your trucks are customized to your company’s needs.
