ENCLAVE

comfortable for adults as for children. This is one of the few big crossovers that can achieve that. There is also ample cargo room and overall interior space.

With the captain’s chairs in the middle row, included on our test vehicle, access to the third row is easier because of the gap between the two middle-row seats.

Remote start, which was a nice feature on cold days, was standard on our vehicle. We also had a universal garage/gate opener, and a

120-volt power outlet. In the center console area, in front of the shifter, there were dual USB ports and a nice tray that could accommodate two big smartphones.

The all-wheel drive gives the Enclave all-weather driving capability, along with limited off-road ability, allowing it to handle many gravel

and dirt roads in national and state parks. But it has lower ground clearance than most traditional SUVS, and the all-wheel drive doesn’t include low-range gearing for serious trail driving.

With freight and options, the sticker price of our 2018 Enclave Premium AWD model was $57,160.
