Enclave Performance Capabilities

The Enclave’s engine balances performance with surprising fuel economy for a mid-size luxury SUV:

  • 3.6L V6 Engine
    • Horsepower: 310 hp
    • Torque: 266 lb-ft
    • Drivetrain: Front-Wheel Drive or All-Wheel Drive
    • EPA-Estimated City Fuel Economy (FWD): 18 mpg
    • EPA-Estimated City Fuel Economy (AWD): 17 mpg
    • EPA-Estimated Highway Fuel Economy (FWD): 26 mpg
    • EPA-Estimated Highway Fuel Economy (AWD): 25 mpg
    • Towing Capacity: 1,500 pounds

Be sure to compare those fuel economy numbers to competing SUVs. We think you’ll come away impressed by how well the Enclave balances rugged performance with fuel-sipping efficiency.

Unique Performance Features

The 2018 Enclave includes a range of features that enhance its already formidable performance:

  • Suspension – A real-time damping suspension system monitors the road conditions and adjusts the suspension to make sure your ride stays smooth. With some of the rough roads in the Dayton area, that’ll come in handy.
  • Stability Control – An electronic stability control system from StabiliTrak applies subtle braking pressure and adjusts the engine to ensure the Enclave stays on the straight and narrow.
  • All-Wheel Drive – Snow and rain are a frequent occurrence in Troy, OH, and available all-wheel drive enhances your traction in slippery conditions.
  • Start/Stop Technology – One of the reasons the Enclave returns such strong fuel economy is its Start/Stop feature. At a stop light, the engine turns off to save fuel, then activates when you take your foot off the brake.

On top of that, the Enclave comes equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission which provides a wide range of gearing options for any situation.
