Buick Enclave Avenir: First Generation
While the Enclave has been part of the Buick lineup since 2008, the Avenir trim didn’t debut until ten years later. It was designed to showcase the best that Buick offered, with classic luxury nods, flexible functionality, generous interior space, and some of the most advanced technologies in the industry. One of the most notable amenities it offered was the Evonik Acrylite exterior lighting that created a well-lit path of the road ahead using more than 100 LED lights across the body of the SUV. It also offered a sturdier framework for added strength and stability, plus up to 17 radars, cameras, and sensors to guide you safely to your destination, as well as a wide array of driver assistance safety features.
Since then, the Avenir has only improved, giving you and your passengers additional safety features, connectivity, and more, whether you’re headed to Ann Arbor’s Farmers’ Market or hiking with the family at Bird Hills Nature Area.
Safety Is Standard
There was a time when you simply slid your kids into the back or front seat and took off down the road without a care in mind. You didn’t need to wait a few minutes to ensure everyone was buckled in because there weren’t any seatbelts. That time isn’t as far back as you might think. It wasn’t until 1966 that the first safety standards were created for the automotive industry. Two years later, seatbelts were mandatory for all new cars. However, it wasn’t until the 1990s that they became more widely accepted.
Today, safety is a top priority for both the industry and drivers, with new advancements being introduced each model year. The 2024 Buick Enclave Avenir is loaded with safety features, helping you navigate to your destination with added confidence and ease. Some of the standard features you’ll find on the Avenir are detailed below:
Automatic Emergency Braking
This system works in conjunction with other safety features, applying the brakes automatically if you’re unable to react in time to avoid a collision.
Forward Collision Alert
Traffic can change in an instant, which is why it’s great to have this system on your side. As it scans the road ahead of you, it alerts you to possible collisions with both audible and visual warnings. Then, working with the automatic braking function, it assists you with emergency braking if you can’t react in time.
IntelliBeam Auto High Beams
While this might not seem like a big deal, not needing to find the high beam switch as you travel at night gives you one less thing to worry about. This system scans the road ahead and turns your high beams on and off, giving you extra light when you need it most.
Front and Rear Park Assist
Trying to find a parking spot while decked out in Wolverine gear and make it to the stadium to grab food before the game starts can be frustrating. Now, you can count on this system to help you park with confidence, leaving plenty of time before tipoff.
Following Distance Indicator
This system helps you keep a safe distance from the cars in front of you by easily adjusting to the flow of traffic.
Front Pedestrian Braking
Similar to the Forward Collision Alert system, this system applies the brakes when it senses that a pedestrian has entered your space.
You’ll also enjoy Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert as standard features for your Avenir. Our team can review each of these features with you so you understand how they work.
Keeping You Connected During the Drive
We live in a digitally connected world, and while it might be nice to take a break every now and then, there are times when you need to know when the email you’ve been waiting for finally arrives. The Avenir helps with this, offering you the ability to stay connected during the drive. This connection isn’t only about emails and playlists. You’ll also get connected to the inner workings of your Avenir with three years of OnStar and the Buick Connected Services Premium Plan. This combination offers you Roadside Assistance, access to the OnStar Guardian app, OnStar Automatic Crash Response, and more, all from the convenience of a compatible phone.
You’ll also get timely diagnostic information with the available Heads-Up Display centered just above your dashboard on the window, so it’s in your field of vision without affecting your driving ability. And yes, you’ll also get easy access to your emails and playlists with a seamless connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, in addition to easy charging through the available Wireless Smartphone Charging station in the center console. Your passengers’ devices can also stay charged and ready to go with a pair of USB ports in each of the rear rows. Finally, the apps you use the most are front and center on the eight-inch IntelliLink touchscreen infotainment system, which also gives you standard navigation.
Functionality and Convenience: Keeping it All Together
Beyond safety and connectivity, you need functionality and convenience. The Avenir gives you both, with a sliding second-row seat on the passenger side that gives easy access to the third row and a generous cargo area, even when the rows are upright. Even better? The third-row seats are powered to fold down easily, making it easier than ever to increase your cargo space. In total, you get up to 97.6 cu.ft. of cargo space with the second and third rows both folded down.
You’ll also enjoy the convenience of heated seats for everyone, a heated steering wheel for chilly Michigan mornings, Remote Start, and Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control. The Avenir doesn’t stop there, however. You’ll also cool down easily during the peak of summer with ventilated driver and front passenger seats. The Avenir also provides you with multiple storage cubbies and beverage holders to make every trip easier.
