Avenir’s LED lights have a walk-up animation when the key fob is near.
The tailgate also senses the aperture, opening and closing automatically.
The camera offers seven or nine views, including 360 degrees and one for recording.

Bose standard, ‘floating’ center console
The 30-inch glass panel with instrument cluster and touch screen is curved towards the driver for visibility and access.
Moving the shifter to the steering column freed up more space in the center console for storage, cup holders, wireless charging and a power and audio dial. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
The Preferred and ST models come with a Bose audio system with 12 speakers. The Avenir gets 16 speakers. Top of the line Avenirs now account for 27% of Enclave sales.
The center console between the front seats is not attached to the dashboard for what Buick calls a “floating” effect.
