Explore Gainesville & Beyond With the Buick Enclave

Just because you live in the Poultry Capital of the World doesn’t mean you have to be stuck in a coupe. As your go-to Buick dealer near Gainesville, we here at Jim Ellis Buick GMC Mall of Georgia, conveniently located in nearby Buford, have plenty of premium SUVs that let you and your passengers stretch out and get comfortable. While all of our models provide a smooth ride and a heaping helping of style, we think that Gainesville drivers will particularly appreciate the Buick Enclave, a midsize model that has all that plus a spacious interior that seats up to seven people. Today, we’re going to show you what this model has to offer and why it should be at the top of your list.

A Powerful Engine Helps You Take Advantage of Natural Wonders

Every trim of the 2024 Enclave comes standard with a powerful 3.6L V6 engine that produces 310 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with a nine-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission with overdrive and Driver Shift Control designed to make shifting effortless and deliver a smooth drive in just about any circumstances. While all Enclave models come standard with a Premium Ride suspension system that can handle some bumps and potholes with ease, you can make the ride even smoother with the available real-time damping suspension available on the top-tier Avenir trim, which adjusts to changing road conditions automatically so you can go from major highways to country backroads without skipping a beat.

Not only does this powertrain make for an enjoyable ride around Gainesville, but it also has the capability you need to explore natural wonders near and far. Properly equipped, the 2024 Enclave can tow up to 5,000 lbs. That means you can take a camping trailer to a national park or bring your boat to the shores of Lake Lanier for a relaxing day on the water. If your adventures take you over gravel roads or other tricky surfaces, you can drive on with confidence thanks to the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control. This system keeps you fully in control no matter what, detecting issues like wheel slippage and responding automatically so you can stay on track when the going gets tough.

Hot Georgia Summers Are No Match for Advanced Comfort Features

We’re no strangers to the hot and humid summers that get thrown our way here in Georgia, and we know that there’s nothing worse than sweating through your shirt while sitting in traffic. But with the luxurious interior of the Enclave, you can rest easy knowing that you’ll stay cool and comfortable no matter how high the mercury in the thermometer creeps. All trim levels come standard with a tri-zone automatic climate control system that lets the driver, front-seat passenger, and rear-seat passengers each set their own ideal temperature, so no one has to fight over the thermostat. Ventilated front seats come standard on the Premium and Avenir trims, letting you choose from three levels of fan circulation so you can get the settings just right.

Chilly winters are a less common problem for Gainesville drivers, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared for a cold snap or a road trip up north. The 2024 Enclave comes standard with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel across all trims. If you want to extend that luxury to passengers in the back, you can upgrade to the Premium or Avenir trim to get standard heated seats in the second row as well. Heated power side view mirrors are standard fare across the lineup, so you don’t have to scrape off frost by hand on a winter morning.

The Versatile Interior Handles Errands & Road Trips Alike

Life can be unpredictable, so it’s nice to know that the 2024 Enclave is ready for just about anything, thanks to its comfortable and versatile interior. The front bucket seats are designed to keep you comfortable on drives of any length, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat and six-way power-adjustable front passenger seat come standard, so you and your passenger can get your positions just right. Both seats have power lumbar across all trims, but the Premium and Avenir take things up a notch with four-way power lumbar and a massage feature that makes driving not only comfortable but enjoyable, even when you’re stuck in traffic on I-985. The seats don’t just feel good; they look good, with a perforated leather-appointed trim that matches the leather-wrapped steering wheel and is sure to impress everyone from inlaws to business associates.

Whether you’re going grocery shopping or antiquing, the cargo area is ready to accommodate all of your purchases. All trims of the 2024 Enclave come standard with a hands-free power liftgate that you can operate even when your hands are full. The Premium and Avenir trims feature a power split-folding third-row bench seat that lets you expand your available cargo volume at the push of a button.

If you’re heading out on a road trip, you’ll appreciate all of the standard features that elevate the cabin from a mere vehicle interior to a welcoming environment. Active noise cancellation with QuietTuning blocks out unwanted sounds from outside, so you can converse with your family or listen to your favorite music in peace. Remote start makes it possible to get the climate control started before you get inside, so the cabin is already perfectly comfortable by the time you get to it. There are six USB ports throughout, two in each of the three rows, so everyone can keep their devices charged while en route.

Convenience Tech at Your Beck & Call

You can feel like royalty while driving through Gainesville thanks to the myriad of convenient tech features that are on board to make driving and everything else a piece of cake. Many of these features are standard even on the base Essence trim, like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and wireless phone charging, which let you power your phone and hook it up to the Enclave’s infotainment interface without needing to get tangled up in a bunch of unsightly cables. Siri EyesFree and Natural Voice Recognition come standard, so you can dictate commands instead of taking your eyes off the road to use the eight-inch touchscreen that sits in the center of the dash. In addition to this screen, there’s a color driver information center behind the wheel that can display warning messages and vehicle information in addition to the usual fare of a speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauge. This display is 4.2 inches on the Essence trim but expands to eight inches on the Premium and Avenir trims.

The upscale Premium and Avenir trims offer more than just more screen space, of course. They also come standard with built-in navigation, so you can always get where you’re going, even if your phone is having technical difficulties. In addition to the automatic dimming function that comes standard on the rearview mirror across all trims, the Premium and Avenir also let you switch between the traditional mirror view and a rear camera that offers a wider and less obstructed view with adjustable brightness, vertical tilt, zoom, and a lens washer that makes sure a little mud can’t get in the way of your view. These trims also come standard with the Memory Package, which lets you set two driver presets for the position of the seat, outside mirrors, and telescoping steering column so you can seamlessly share your vehicle with a friend, partner, or family member, even if you’re nowhere near the same size.

Gainesville Drivers Deserve the Luxury of the Enclave

Whether you’re cruising around Gainesville, taking an epic road trip across the South, or heading into Atlanta proper for a night on the town, the Buick Enclave has what you need to make getting there half the fun. Its extensive range of features makes it perfect for everyone from families to businesspeople looking for an SUV that’s not only stylish and powerful but also comfortable and luxurious.
