The 2010 Buick Enclave is a good-looking vehicle, most reviewers agree. Curvaceous fenders and glamorous detailing are a big part of it. The Enclave’s interior is loved, too; it’s subdued, luxurious, and high-quality throughout—and in many ways, a revelation for Buick.

A number of reviewers try to assess the overall design, and many see retro influences. MotherProof considers the Enclave “curvy” but still “lean” overall. According to the reviewers from Kelley Blue Book, the “waterfall” grille and portholes above the fenders hark back to the classic design lines of Buicks from the late 1940s and early ’50s. It’s “a more soothing design,” Car and Driver contends—and Business Week agrees, saying, “the curvy contours, the chrome, and the bold grille-work perfectly reflect the Enclave’s overall tone.”

The interior of the 2010 Buick Enclave draws overwhelmingly positive comments. “The dash features a center arch in housing an analog clock giving the Enclave an Art Deco feel,” says The Auto Channel.  BusinessWeek gushes over the interior as well, calling it “gorgeous” and “easily as nice, or nicer, as the interiors of the Lexus RX 350, the Acura MDX, and the Volvo XC90.” The New York Times agrees, reporting, “the cabin’s design showed that G.M. was successful in its effort to upgrade its interiors.” Motor Trend notes that “its nicely designed interior is as tangible an improvement over the other two [Lambda-platform crossovers] as its organic, Coke-bottle sheet metal is compared with their creased lines.”
