This particular Buick is featured in White Frost exterior with the Chestnut Leather interior. It is the Buick Enclave Avenir model with three packages included: Technology, Premium Suspension/Tailgate Tow and Accessory. This Luxury SUV can fit between 5 and 7 passengers.
*I have been told by the dealership we purchased this vehicle from that there is NO DIFFERENCE between the 2018 and 2019 Buick Enclave Avenir, so this Review is for both!

You guys did an awesome job on that review! I loved watching it. What a great car!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
A review by an actual owner. This was helpful as we’re looking at this vehicle as well. 👍
Did you buy the enclave?
@@richardsternard4030 No, covid put a hold on any major purchase. But this is still a vehicle on our list.
@@s.j.1298 What else is in your list?
@@richardsternard4030 Now: Kia Telluride, VW Atlas, Toyota Highlander hybrid, Acura MDX. Wish Enclave had hybrid.
@@s.j.1298 Is the hybrid the only reason you’re moving away from the Enclave?
I have watched many videos for Avenir, but this is the first one I have come across with such in depth detail on the inside features. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful!
The car is amazing and the video in general is so simple, so clear and entertaining to watch
Why is this my first time seeing this kind of enclave ...and I been loving the enclave for awhile...I totally love this
Thank you for doing this review. It is good to see a real owner who has driven the car day and especially at night. I love this car especially the avenir trim.
Awesome review! Great job on demonstrating real world space and functionality inside the vehicle.
I just bought a 2017 and it is a dream. It is the last year before they got the big overhaul in 2018. Only 26,000 K's on it. I can only imagine how great this one is. I did test drive one and it was white as well. So nice. A real dream. Theres tons of room. These vehicles are well designed and thought out. I had a 1989 Blazer by GM and the Enclave's put them to shame. You have the whole world in your vehicle. Sirrus Radio, Wifi, Handsfree radio, Hands Free phone, and more options then you can believe.
Great, in-depth, easy to understand review. Bravo!!
This is an awesome review! Thank you for including the night drive too! Great job and super helpful!
Thanks so much! I'm so glad it was helpful for you :)
This suv is very nice, i was looking for the buick lacross. But now that you guys did this video. I changed my mined. 😃thanks so much guys👍
Thank you so much for the video guys I’m really appreciate 🙏🏻
Superb job!! Very thorough and easy to understand.
Thank you so much!
Awesome review! Very thorough and thoughful from both a Mom and Dad perspective. Well done
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for this review it's exactly what I was looking for!!
Tomilova Lopez I’m so glad it was helpful for you!
best review by far!! Looking to buy this car soon. thank you so much
I love y’all car reviews. You sold me on the XC90 and now y’all sold me on this. Great video!
Thank you!! We really try to share all the best info we think we can pass on to other parents about the vehicles we buy. ♥️
Great review love this Buick.
Thank you! This was SUPER helpful, and honestly sold me even more on this car.
I am so happy to hear it was helpful for you!
Great video guys I'm sold!!!
We have an older Enclave but we love it! We also have 3 kiddos and have taken several long distance trips in it and it is so roomy. We also have an Infinity QX60 which I think may be similar interior size wise to your Volvo but we definitely prefer our Enclave for longer trips:)
It is super roomy!! We have been really loving it!
cant thank you enough for this video with carseats. I too have 3 kids in carseats and was pondering about if this would work! THANK YOU
I am so glad it was helpful for you!
Great review! I have an appointment tomorrow to look at the Buick Enclave so who knows may be driving away with one for myself. Thanks for the review!
I hope you love it! We sure do 😍
Just bought a black Avenir and your video helped me to make my decision. Thank you.
I am so glad it was helpful! I hope you love your new Enclave Avenir. We are still loving ours!
Still have the car? Still like it?
It's not easy to talk and do a review on camera, I'm sure, but this is one of the best "amateur" car reviews I've ever watched. Great job. We cant afford the '18 but we're looking at probably a 15-16'. Still very nice but not as nice as this!
Looking at a 2018 Enclave Avenir that is almost identical to this one. This was a great overview. I'm upgrading from a 2008 Enclave CXL. Thank you.
Beautiful car!! I just got a brand new Honda Odyssey but after seeing this it may be time for a trade already😂😂. You and you husband worked so great as a team on this video. Buick should totally use you as a spokesperson.
That would be fun! We love this car! And thank you haha! My hubby and I worked really hard to make this all come together ♥️
Great work guys.
Nice review,thank you guys.
Thank you!
This is one of the best car reviews I've seen. I am in love with this car after your very thorough overview of all of the features- especially the kid/family friendly features. I've been looking for a minivan type car without getting a minivan and this car is perfect. Thanks
Thank you so much! Yes, this sounds exactly like what you need! We have been loving this SUV!
kateschwanke yes and SUV. I’ve got two kids and one on the way. Need room for two rear facing car seats and one in a booster. Plus my husband is 6’6” so need him to fit in the front with a rear facing car seat behind him. Love how the captains chairs move back and forth which should allow him the room he needs. I’m obsessed with this SUV! Oh and the secret storage space in the trunk...🤯!!
Oh this sounds like the perfect SUV for you guys!! And yes, I love that extra storage space!!
What about mechanic problems ( issues)
@@freddyjg5520 I ended up purchasing this car soon after posting my comments three years ago and still love it with no mechanic problems to speak of. I'm at about 46,000 miles.
Thank you great job I love the car !!
Nice review.keep it up
Great Review! Great Family.
Thank you!
I have watched so many videos on this particular vehicle and y'all was the only one that really really really went into Depp about all these features I mean there was features that they didn't even mention in the video thank you so much for sharing I really appreciate that
Thank you!! We really wanted to share our favorite features about this car, and there were even some we forgot to mention because there are just so many great ones!
We were looking for a great used vehicle for our family of 5 and this video helped seal the deal on a '19 Buick Enclave Avenir! I loved the car seat demonstrations! Thanks!
So happy to hear it was helpful!
Wasn’t ready for a minivan so It was between an enclave or the traverse high country and went with the traverse but this is very similar to my high country ! Yay for new family cars!
I wasn’t ready for a Mini Van either lol! So happy we chose this vehicle. It’s been AMAZING
I have no reason to watch this video but it was great! Haha. I know it’s random but have you considered throwing in random vlogs to your channel? I think I’d be great to see how you handle day to day life as a military wife/ family. Also because you’ve mentioned your hubby is gone a lot with his job. My husband is also in the military (we live overseas) and sometimes it’s stressful being away from family & friends. We have a little toddler too which does make life interesting and keeps us busy haha. Love your videos as always! 💕😊
Hi!! Omgosh you’re so sweet. Thanks for watching! You know, I have a couple of Vlogs up but they’re super old haha! They’re in my Vlog Playlist I think? I’ll think about making them every now and then..I’m just not sure my life is interesting enough for vlogging 😂
First time I’m writing up a comment. You are amazing and I love your beautiful family.stay blessed
Lodzima PY you are so sweet! Thank you for taking the time to tell me this ♥️
My mom just bought this car today and that's how I found this video
Awesome! I hope she loves it as much as we do!!
My mom has this car too so awesome
Thanks for your Review of the 2018/2019 Buick Enclave Avenir. I just purchase the same car and I love it.
I’m so glad you do!! We are still loving ours!
Thanks for the review. Seeing the car seats in place really helped me make a decision on a vehicle. Just bought this in the essence. The smart slide seat is a key selling feature for us moms
Monica de Bruyn Kops that is one of my favorite features!!
How do you turn on the fog lights? I cannot figure it out @@kateschwanke
Best review yet. I appreciate it.
Thank you!
I just wanted to say that this was a great video and it actually helped us decide on getting a new Buick Enclave. We have just recently started our car shopping just a couple weeks ago. We started to look at the pick up trucks because my dad wants the cargo space and wanted to be able to tow things. But then just a week ago we came to realization that given with the size of our garage that a pick up truck just would not fit. So we decided to move on to the large SUV. And then there was the new Enclave. This past weekend we took a test drive in the Enclave and we really liked everything about it. I, myself was thoroughly surprised with it. Back in 2009 we looked at the Enclave but were turned off by how the engine wasn’t smooth when it shifted gears and the dealer that we were at just wouldn’t negotiate with us. So we eventually went with the Acura MDX. I enjoyed how y’all explained everything about the car. Especially about the adaptive cruise control and infotainment center. I also liked how you explain everything about the leather and furnishings inside the car because it did really look luxurious. I just wanted to say thank for this helpful video. This helped me really understand what everything was and what everything did. I just wish y’all had the rear infotainment screens with the DVD player so I could see how that looks but it’s all okay 😊😅
Mike MacBlane hi Mike! Thank you so much for your positive feedback about our Review. I am so glad it was helpful for you! The new Enclave is such a great SUV; Our whole family loves it!
Love this!! Wish I could make it apart of my budget 😭
It’s a great car! Budgets are no fun ☹️ We stay on one too!
Great review.
Very good family review. 😃
Great review! This would definitely work for my family since we're expecting a 3rd blessing. Where'd you get the rubber like seat mats behind the carseats?
Nice SUV. Great lighting. You'll definitely be able to see those deers that hang out on the side of the road.
The Avenir looks very good!
I'm just glad on my enclave doesn't have the auto stop. Love the 2nd row seat in my 2014 with the DVD player in the back
Excellent job.
The car is so big, but excelent...and Kates so beautiful too😍
Happy Family+Beautiful Car+Nice Car Drive=Better than an average review 💕
Thank you so much!
that rear view mirror was so cool!!
Isn’t it?! It’s so clear too!
What a Beautiful car 😍
I love this. I'm excited for my 2020 Avenir! My lease on my 2017 is just about over. I've had an Enclave now since they came out, awesome vehicle! I heard it's changing again for 2021. I'm not sure what they can do better lol... I know the 2020 changed a bit. I think massaging seats come standard. Anyway great review!
Oooh I can’t wait to see what they’ve changed! I still really love this SUV though. It’s been the perfect family car for us!
Just got a 2020 love it stay safe everyone
This was THE ABSOLUTE BEST review ever!!! Real world situations with a family of 5! We’re also a family of 5 with our kids at the same ages as yours so we were able to see how car seats, strollers, and groceries are managed by this vehicle because we’re in the market for the Enclave! Thank you so much!
I am so happy to hear our Review was helpful for you!! We love the Enclave for our Family of 5. It’s perfect!
kateschwanke How has the car been treating you btw? Any issues or is it running as smoothly as it was since Day One? Also which color is it? The Frost White or the Summit White?
I’m not sure on the color, but this one has a shimmer to it! The car has been great! We haven’t had any issues with it
kateschwanke That’s Awesome to hear! I’m debating between a VW Atlas or The Enclave. But I think after watching your video we’re definitely leaning towards this puppy right here!
We have been loving it! I think if you choose it you will really enjoy the drive!
Absolutely Gorgeous and the car is nice too!
Thank you! You’re too kind!
Great review.... I was hoping to see how the dashboard looked at night. Also. When the rear view camera is on at night? Do it automatically dim when a car approaches from the rear? 🤔
Beautiful suv
Thanks for this video it help me to change my mind about Buick great job but how is it with the gas
Antonio Jimenez it does pretty well on gas! Also, because we can use regular and aren’t forced to use Premium, it’s a lot cheaper than when I had my Volvo.
Our kids go to the same school and I would pass you everyday in your Volvo. It was so pretty I wanted one. I was in a mini van lol. I went down to buy a Volvo. It was used and I just couldn’t do it. I ended up with a 2018 Chevy traverse RS. I love it! Very similar to yours but it’s not a top model so I don’t have the lane keep or the adaptive cruise control but I do have the 360 camera and the rear view camera. And girl I don’t know how y’all drive with that thing on. It makes me sick!
Beautiful car you have there. It really is perfect with 3 kids. I have a baby jogger stroller and I have to pop off the back wheel to make it fit. Maybe I should look into the one you have. But we just found out we are having number 4. Sometimes I wish I would have kept my van. But we will make it work. I love my car.
Hi!! How cool that our kids go tot he same school! Yes, the Volvo was a GREAT car! But, I honestly love this one even more! The set up, comfort and features are perfect for us 🙌🏻 I can’t drive with the rearview mirror on either 🤣 I get sick too haha! But my hubby doesn’t have any issues with it. I like to use it when I back up though for extra peace of mind!
Yes the extra piece of mind is nice. My husband always says you don’t need all that. Uh yes I do. Lol. I don’t want to hit anything. I honestly have no idea how I had a Yukon years ago before they started putting in back up cameras. I guess now I’m just more paranoid.... and spoiled. ☺️
I can’t imagine driving a Yukon without cameras 😮 I would have had so many dents and scratches lol!
My husband bought me this car for mothers day. We love it, this car fits all of our needs. our truck was about $52,000
What an amazing Mother’s Day gift! It’s such a great car ♥️
I have say you got my attention cause you are very gorgeous.
You and your husband did a great job explaining to detail.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, that is so kind of you to say!
kateschwanke It’s my pleasure.
I also subscribe to your channel.
Have a great day.
Thanks so much!!
I could see my teen moving the middle row seat with his little brother strapped in. I love this vehicle
Lol! Well, maybe not with him strapped in 😅But it is a super handy feature!
Gorgeous, it's true Buick is NOT your grandparents car!!! The young people who look at Buicks almost always buy Buicks, they have such value so much for the money!!!
KelseaBalleriniIs Goals Mazda has more features per dollar though.
You’re adorable and so is this Buick!! But you honestly make the Buick adorable!!
Jada Rashawn you are so sweet! Thank you, Jada 😘
Nice cool Buick
Happy new car guys 😘 We dont have Buick in the UK so it was nice to see this one. I have just bought a new car too. I got a Mercedes-Benz GLA Class AMG Premium. In a very dark metallic Purple love love it 😊 Always exciting getting a new car 🚗😜
Dark metallic purple sounds amazing!!! 😍
kateschwanke Its called ‘northern lights violet’ 👍🏻
That is such a pretty name!! 😍😍😍
Got a buick essence today.Was a rental with only 2k miles.Dealership sat on it for 2months with no sale.They dropped the price to 34k from 40 k. Easy buy.
whoa what a good review! about to rent this car for 12 days family road trip in turkey. looks comfortable.
This would be a great vehicle for a trip! ♥️
Buicks in Turkey? Wow! Very cool!
@@dherman0001 yep Enterprise has it
@@MedianaDhea That's great, expecting ours to be delivered today. Test drove several. We settled on the Avenir trim package, the highest one. You won't be dissapointed. You should get lots of admirers. Is Turkey safe for Americans right now?
I have a 2008 and one of my favorite features is how the headlights turn as you turn the car. I was wondering if these newer models have this feature. It was really good on winding roads at night
That is a great feature!
This was posted on my birthday
Im getting mine today
Its funny that my uncle kept saying "No Buicks, Only Germans know true Luxury". I showed him this vehicle and he said Gorgeous, and would not get out of it. He is a die hard Mercedes fan.
I'm waiting for a Regal Voltec Avenir. That would be my ideal car.
Adithya Ramachandran it really is a gorgeous car! I bet that Regal will be amazing!
Your Baby is very cute :). Brings back memories when my brother was a baby and I sat next to him.
I like the Regal Avenir. I just wish it was available as a relatively spacious plug in Hybrid. I would like something the size of a regal that gives me the gas mileage of a prius. It's $3.15 for regular here, and I don't want something thirsty. The regal in china does sell as a hybrid, and uses American batteries. But, it's not available in the US in that configuration.
That's kinda why I'm turning my head towards the Volt, although the back seat will be very uncomfortable when I need to ferry my friends around (we are all close to 6').
What do you have behind you children's carseat to protect the chairs? Great review. I want an Enclave... this may have just solidified my decision.
Hi! Omgosh yes! This car has been amazing and we LOVE it 🙌🏻 The carseat protectors we have can be found here: www.amazon.com/dp/B00B7M7BKW/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_mw
We have used them for years and they’ve been great!
Nice video. I own a 2011 model and is ok but this model is way better. Can you tell me why is no tv on your model or this is an option. My kids love watching movies on the road trips. Thanks
It's so cute she doesn't know what to call the gear shift /selector
OK BONITO VIDEO GRACIAS UN SALUDO DESDE MEXICO. BYE
Bought the Avenir 2018 in May of this year. After 1000 km the transmission broke and had to be replaced. Ever since the engine light came on 3 times. Took it in and they tell me its fixed, but light still comes on now and then. The car is also slow and underpowered - my 2011 Enclave performed better. Have about 9500 km on the odometer, but thinking of trading it in.
O no
Thank you
Does this car maintain good resale value i.e. depreciation rate compared to a Toyota Highlander?
We liked your review and appreciated the info. We are currently looking at the Buick Enclave Premium and Avenir. We drove the Avenir and loved the handling and suspension. We also liked the 5 year/60 month warranty. Are you still happy with your Buick?
hswainiii1 Hi! I’m so glad you enjoyed our Review. Yes, we LOVE this vehicle! It’s been perfect for our family
I bought one last month
Lovely car and good video, but with the auto shut off feature when you come to a stop at a light, it's a dealbreaker. I have driven several GM cars with this feature that ended up getting a check engine light prematurely. If GM made it optional to disable the auto shut off feature such as Ford and other foreign vehicles, I would certainly buy an Enclave or LaCrosse today.
How do you like your Buick now since it's been a year
Very good ❤️ 👍
I always loved Buick. Really loving this SUV Buick. Thank you for showing us the SUV among all the features. Excellent video. ♥️🙌
3rd row actually looks useful.
How do you like this in comparison with the Volvo?
Saw your video, liked it and bought the 2018 enclave avenir . I am experiencing some wind noise coming from drivers side pilled A, when driving highway speed. Please tell me if that’s common on every 2018 enclave? I would really appreciate your response.
Mahesh Sajnani Hi! I notice a very small amount of wind noise on the drivers side as well, but it honestly doesn’t bother me.
kateschwanke thank you
How is your vehicle holding up? This is an absolutely phenomenal review! 🎉
Thank you! It was doing pretty well! We have since had two other cars though 😊
I love the extrior of this thisng
What was the main reason to move to the Enclave from the XC90?
The biggest reason was because the Volvo dealership was an hour and a half away from where we lived. Just too far a drive with three children in tow! We’re much happier now :)
Probably more fuel efficient or less cost to own.
Love the new car! Do you like it more than your old car - Volvo XC90? Both of these cars are on my radar.😊
I honestly do!! I didn’t think anything would be able to top my Volvo, but I really love this car! It’s perfect for our family ♥️
I currently own a 2012 Buick enclave with 201,000 miles on it. I bought it brand new and have loved it. It has served my family well. My only complaint is Buicks horrible customer service for maintenance. They are very rude and unprofessional. I owned a Lexus RX prior to the Enclave. Lexus treats there customers well. I suggest anyone looking to buy a Buick looks at the reviews of their dealers maintenance and service center.
I think it really depends on where you go! Every dealership is different. When we had our Volvo XC90, we LOVED it....but the customer service at our Volvo was AWFUL and about an 1.5 hour drive to get there on top of it. The Buick dealership we’re at now is awesome!
We are a family of 5 and I have been trying to decide between the XC90 and the Avenir. I love the XC90 look and features but and thinking if we have another child may quickly run out of space. But am keeping in mind my husband has a GMC Arcadia which also accommodates 7 passengers! I watched your XC90 review which was great. Did you experience issues with the XC90? What made you switch cars?
Hi! The XC90 was a GREAT car and I loved it! We had no issues with it. The only reason I traded the XC90 for the Enclave Avenir is because our Volvo dealer was an hour and a half away, and that was just way too far! Since purchasing this car, I have not missed my XC90. I love this car even more!
I don't own either but I know people who do and I would go with Enclave, better looking inside and out, much more interior space, more family friendly, better infotainment system all for a better price!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, appreciate an owner perspective. 2 Questions for you: What car did you have prior to this? and 2) Now about 18 months into ownership, any gripes or complaints on the vehicle (i.e. reliability issues, etc.)? Thanks!
Hi! We had a 2017 Volvo XC90 prior to purchasing this vehicle. We LOVE the Enclave! It has been very reliable with no issues. It’s seriously such a great car for our family that we will be keeping it for quite a while!
@@kateschwanke Thanks for the reply, so glad I asked as I'm comparing the Enclave to a couple cars, including the XC90! Thanks for the feedback, very helpful video!
Heads up display or Not?
