Enclave engine/trans confirmed

Featured Replies

Wow! AND a Buick hybrid planned by 2009! If the LaCrosse was a good change for Buick, and the Lucerne was a great change for Buick, then the Enclave will be a phenomenal change for Buick if everything that is on here is true. The only consistent problems with Buick has been no 5 or 6 speed tranny, no DOD, or perhaps (though no one really complains about this with Buick but GM needs to start making them) not excellent gas mileage. The Enclave will cover all these problems. I am excited for this and I hate Crossovers/SUVs.
It's been pretty much confirmed by evok in another thread regarding this that Edmunds is wrong on the engines.

I remember when they claimed that the Lucerne was to have a 5.3L V8.
If the DOD, 6 speed AT, and a scheduled hybrid the 5.3 liter engine not being there is the least of my concerns. Everything else is what will really draw people to look at Buick.

The Enclave will have the 3.6 V6 and a V8 option possibly the 4.7 or 5.3 with 6 speed autos.

Yep. Everything indicated so far points to the 3.6L HFV6 being the base engine (as it should be) in the Enclave, with a 6sp and optional V8. Ofcourse, there's no use in trusting Edmunds. I just can't wait to see the production version.
