The 2025 Buick Enclave has three trim levels, each more premium than the last. The base trim has a huge number of standard features focused on comfort and convenience, and the next two trims build on it, creating a crossover that feels wonderfully luxurious.

Preferred

The Preferred trim has a lot of features that every model shares. These include a 30-inch ultra-wide display with Google built-in, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, a performance suspension, and very comfortable seating. You can adjust the driver’s seat in eight directions and the front passenger’s seat in six directions. Both front seats have 4-way lumbar support. The seats are also heated, as is the steering wheel.

The vehicle is powered by a 2.5-liter turbo engine with an output of 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque. It drives on 20-inch alloy wheels with a medium android finish. The outside rearview mirrors are power-folding, and the inside ones are auto-dimming. The vehicle also has excellent driver assistance features that include adaptive cruise control, intersection collision mitigation, and forward collision warning.

Sport Touring

The Sport Touring shares most of its features with the Preferred trim. It has everything mentioned above, including the 20-inch wheels, but the wheels look a little different on this model. They’re high-gloss black wheels that match the Sport Touring trim’s high-gloss black grille surround and inserts. Inside, the steering wheel has a flat bottom, and there are elements of the interior trim that are unique to the Sport Touring model.

The cabin shares a color scheme with one of the interior trim options from the Preferred trim, but there are subtle differences that make the Sport Touring’s interior stand out. For example, some of the silver accents are textured in the Sport Touring but smooth in the Preferred.

Avenir

If you’re looking for the most luxurious of the three trims, then you’ll probably like the Avenir the best. Its sound system has four more speakers than the earlier trims, and its premium suspension has continuous damping control. It’s fitted with 22-inch pearl nickel finish wheels and an exclusive Avenir grille. It has massaging front seats, heated second-row outboard seats, and quilted leather-appointed front seats with the Avenir logo on them.

If you found something you like in one of these trims, then make sure you get behind the wheel. Come and see us at Schepel Buick GMC in Merrillville, IN, if you’re interested.

If you need a heavy-duty utility vehicle with eco-friendly performance, the 2025 GMC HUMMER EV SUV is a great pick. Check out the two available trims to find the right EV for your driving needs. 

The HUMMER EV SUV has a standard 4WD system that directs power from the electric motor to all four wheels at all times. This is ideal if you want extra traction for off-roading or driving in heavy rain, ice, or snow. A standard 4-wheel steer system, which operates at speeds lower than 25 MPH, allows the front and rear tires to turn in opposite directions for precise diagonal driving on tight switchbacks and during parallel parking maneuvers. 

Each HUMMER EV SUV trim is equipped with Super Cruise, a hands-free driving assistant that handles steering, braking, and acceleration on compatible highways. The Super Cruise system is paired with a special Super Cruise steering wheel and driver attention software to prompt you to pay attention to the road, even when your hands are off the wheel. 

2X

The 2X can travel 315 miles on a full charge. The dual electric drive motors produce 570 horsepower and 7,400 lb-ft of torque. This model has an eTrunk, a lit compartment offering 11.3 cubic feet of storage space, and cargo tie-downs that can hold 110 lbs of cargo in place. The 2X comes with an Infinity Roof for convertible driving with removable Sky Panels and storage bags that can be placed in the eTrunk.
The 2X can be customized with the available Extreme Off-Road Package, which comes with 18-inch aluminum wheels, 18-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, and skid plates. Other key features for this package are front and rear underbody cameras, an electronically locking front and rear differential, and rear D-ring recovery hooks. 

3X

The 3X has a more powerful three-motor electric powertrain that generates 830 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. This model has a 312-mile electric range. The standard power swing gate allows the cargo area to be opened sideways like the other vehicle doors and is power programmable for your convenience. A spare wheel and tire are mounted on the swing gate so you can get back on the road right away. 
The 3X is also outfitted with a 13.4-inch GMC Premium Infotainment system with Google Built-in technology that allows you to personalize your entertainment experience. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

The 2025 Buick Envista is an urban-ready compact SUV perfect for drivers who want to enjoy practical features at a budget-friendly price. It offers a reliable engine that sips fuel and a cozy cabin equipped with smart technology.

1. Stop/Start Technology

All Envista models come with a 1.2L turbo engine that cranks out 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic, and front-wheel drive is standard. This powertrain manages an incredible 30 mpg combined, with 28 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. With the stop/start technology, the engine automatically shuts off in stop-and-go traffic to squeeze out a little more fuel savings.

2. Buick QuietTuning With Active Noise Cancellation

Inside, the cabin is calm and quiet, thanks to Buick QuietTuning, which uses special materials to absorb sound and block outside noise. Active Noise Cancellation cancels out engine sounds to make rides quieter, so conversations, music, and audio come through more clearly.

3. Buick Driver Confidence

The Buick Driver Confidence package equips every Envista with forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking to help prevent collisions. It also comes with lane departure warning, which alerts you if you start to drift without signaling. If you don’t respond, lane-keep assist nudges the steering wheel to guide you back to your lane. Auto high-beam assist automatically switches between high and low beams when it’s dark, so you can see the road better without blinding oncoming drivers.

4. Lane Change Alert With Side Blind Zone Alert

Available on all models, this feature uses radar sensors to watch your blind spots and help you change lanes safely without sideswiping another car. When a vehicle is detected, a warning light appears on the side mirror. If you turn on your blinkers in that direction, the light will flash as an extra warning that it’s not safe to switch lanes.

5. Ultrawide Infotainment Display

An ultrawide 11-inch touchscreen display comes standard, giving you various connectivity options. It features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM, and Bluetooth audio streaming for two active devices. With the voice command pass-through feature, you can talk to Siri or Google Assistant hands-free through the car.

Different strokes for different folks, right? The 2025 GMC Sierra HD gets that, with seven trims built around different needs and tastes. Here’s how each one makes its case.

Pro

Taken on their own, a 6.6-liter V8 with 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, a 10-speed Allison transmission, and the biggest cargo box in the class are each solid reasons to look twice.

For those after diesel power, there’s an available 6.6-liter Duramax V8. It delivers 470 horsepower, 975 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of 22,420 pounds. For reference, the strongest gasser pulls a maximum of 18,700 pounds.

SLE

SLT

Going from the SLE to the SLT gets you leather upholstery, power heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, a rear window defogger, carpeted floor mats, a manual tilt and telescoping steering column, and a remote start system.

AT4

For those who want their trucks to handle more than pavement, the AT4 brings real off-road capability. It’s fitted with skid plates underneath, twin-tube Rancho shocks tuned for off-road work, and Hill Descent Control to manage steep drops. The nice part is that this isn’t just a rough-and-ready trim. Inside, you’ll find niceties such as heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and a Bose sound system.

Denali

The Denali is all about on-road luxury. It upgrades the SLT with a trim-specific interior consisting of open-pore wood, metal accents, and forged perforated leather heating surfaces. It also features a 12-speaker Bose sound system, a bed view camera, and a 360-degree view camera.

AT4X

This takes the AT4’s off-road game to the next level with a factory-installed 1.5-inch lift, Multimatic DSSV dampers, rear lockers, larger skid plates, and 35-inch Goodyear Territory MT tires.

Denali Ultimate
