2022 Buick Enclave - A Winter Whistler Road Trip Review

The Buick Enclave has been updated for 2022 with some new style, new technology and more standard safety. With 3 rows and on demand AWD, it's perfect for our family trip to the mountains with all our stuff

Looked to be a great family trip. My son and his family have an older Enclave and have had a lot of satisfaction with it. I do like the styling.

I skied Whistler and Blackcomb (which is right next to Whistler), back around 1995. We were there in the spring, so we just skied the upper half of the mountain, which is actually bigger than many ski areas in the continental US. The place is huge!
The Town of Whistler is beautiful! I don’t remember it being very expensive, but we had a ski club group ski package. I’m sure after the Olympics it got much more expensive, which is unfortunate.

Regarding GM vehicles, sorry, but when GM pays back the US taxpayer for the $11.2 billion loss they took as part of the bailout, I will consider a GM product. Not until then. Ford refused to bail out and they made it. GM needs to pay back the loss the US taxpayers took.

Good review, the refresh looks stunning. Just wanted to let you know that the camera button is on the the touchscreen. It doesn’t have a physical button.

Fun video with beautiful views. When GM moves away from gas engines with their mixed reliability- the Buick might be something to consider.

When kicking under the rear bumper to open the rear liftgate be sure the key is pretty close by. It can be finicky in general but we found you have to have the key back there for it to open.

I like your buick enclave avenir family road trip review. I have a 2021 enclave avenir and we’re planning to go Victoria, BC this April. Any tips for the long driving? Thanks.

How does it handle on snow at highway speeds?

Is that a rear wiper cleaning the back glass?!? 🙀
Take it for your ⏹⏹⏹⏹

I'm curious how this compares to the Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy trim?

We almost bought this car. Wonderful but just a little too big for our needs though.

Nice road trip! For starters, I’m not so sure about this facelift. The split headlights (DRL’s and headlights) look awkward and way too far away from one another. Some design cue should connect them so the actual headlights don’t look like fog lights. This look works on the smaller Envision. I also feel that the overall shape of the Enclave is in desperate need of a redesign. My mom has a 2012 Enclave with low mileage, so I’m very familiar with the Enclave, which hasn’t evolved much over the years.

So, I’m curious to understand where Buick stands as a whole these days in the US. I personally don’t feel it qualifies as premium anymore, as many of the mainstream competitors offer more premium/luxurious features and materials at a lower price (their higher trims). And they often look better. Maybe in GM’s rankings of its brands, it’s a step up from Chevy, but I wouldn’t rank it higher than a Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy or a Mazda CX-9.

Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!👎👎👎👎👎😬👎😬👎👎Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluf

For our US cousins, $CAD2.09/litre equates to $US6.21/USGal 😖
