What is the Safest SUV on the Market?
While many Buick and GMC SUVs offer high regard and advancement for safety prowess, none come close to the 2024 Buick Enclave with top marks from the IIHS and 5-Star Crash Test Rating from the NHTSA thanks to the synthesis of its structured build and Buick Driver Confidence technology. The Buick Enclave is a wonderful choice for families for its available All-Wheel Drive and its versatility with the ability to tow up to 5,000 lbs. With three rows of seating for up to seven people, Buick GMC’s safest family SUV is a lifesaver for busy families on the go with plenty of space for cargo, plus an available Wi-Fi® Hotspot, and wireless smartphone charging for convenience.
Buick Driver Confidence
The innovative Buick Driver Confidence safety system comes default on all new Buick models, using sensors, cameras, and radar to help enhance driver safety. Let’s explore what this innovative safety in Buick GMC’s safest third-row family SUV includes.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
When the Buick Enclave begins to drift into other lanes, Lane Keep Assist will activate by issuing a Lane Departure Warning and gently controlling the steering wheel to prevent accidental lane changes. Buick GMC’s safest family SUV is able to detect when behaviors are persistent and unintentional, both by driver actions and use of turn signals, so the system will not interfere with normal driving.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
This safety feature in the 2024 Buick Enclave takes action by alerting the driver when there are vehicles approaching before and while merging. With the use of sensors to monitor and detect drivers in the next lane, Buick GMC’s safest family SUV will activate alerts in the side mirror that signal for the driver not to change lanes at that moment.
Following Distance Indicator
Drivers can stay informed of driving distance with this convenient feature of Buick Driver Confidence. Following Distance Indicator helps provide the time in seconds between the vehicle ahead and the front of Buick GMC’s safest family SUV, and drivers should always keep a safe following distance of at least three seconds according to the National Safety Council.
Forward Collision Alert
In order to help the driver prevent rear-end collisions, Forward Collision Alert monitors the area in front of the vehicle to determine distance between the Buick Enclave and the vehicle ahead and alert in the case of an imminent collision. Drivers should always keep a safe distance behind other cars, however in the event of a potential collision from sudden stops, Buick Driver Confidence will alert the driver.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
The Buick Enclave is capable of detecting traffic flow at the rear, making it easier for drivers to reverse out of parking spots and driveways. By monitoring the presence of vehicles and pedestrians behind the vehicle, in combination with rear view mirrors and cameras, drivers can make smarter driving decisions when going backwards in Buick GMC’s safest family SUV.
Front Pedestrian Braking & Automatic Emergency Braking
Buick Driver Confidence helps drivers prevent collision with passengers, vehicles, and other objects that may be in front of the Buick Enclave’s path with Front Pedestrian Braking & Automatic Emergency Braking. While attention should always be on the road ahead, Buick GMC’s safest family SUV can activate the brake or by assisting braking when it detects obstacles ahead, so long as it’s traveling between speeds of five and 50 MPH. This feature may not work as effectively during periods of lower visibility, such as bad weather or during nighttime hours.
IntelliBeam Auto High Beams
Night time visibility is enhanced in the Buick Enclave thanks to IntelliBeam Auto High Beam technology, which detects whether drivers are approaching while the high beams are activated. This can prevent blinding other drivers in the oncoming lane, as Buick GMC’s safest family SUV will turn the high beams on and off automatically out of courtesy.
