The Buick Enclave (and similar GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook) is a full-size crossover SUV to be launched for the 2008 model year by the Buick division of General Motors. The three vehicles will share the new GM Lambda platform. The Enclave was previewed at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, officially as a concept car, making it the first Lambda vehicle to be displayed.

The Enclave will replace both of Buick's current SUVs, the minivan-based Rendezvous, the truck-based Rainier, as well as the Terraza minivan. It will feature seating for at least six, and up to eight with a third row with a foot well, generous interior space, and either front- or all-wheel drive.

Press reports indicate that the Lambda SUVs will feature available 3-row 8-passenger seating and V6 engines. A V8 engine will also reportedly be offered on the GMC and Buick versions but is unlikely in the Saturn. The Lambda vehicles will be built at GM's new Delta Township Assembly plant near Lansing, Michigan.
