The upmarket Buick brand offers a luxury feel and high-tech features at surprisingly reasonable prices, making it a great option for car buyers who want to spend a little extra to get a lot more comfort. That's certainly true of the Buick Envision, a compact crossover with a lot to offer. Some of changes implemented in 2019 include a new nine-speed automatic transmission and improved technology features. One area where the Envision shines is its versatility, and it's all thanks to features like these. more Space for What You Need The 2019 Envision gives you 26.9 cubic feet of cargo space in the back. That's twice as much space as you'd get from an average compact sedan. If you need even more room, you can fold down the back row and double your storage space to 57.5 cubic feet. You can also customize the amount of space you allot to cargo and passengers thanks to the 60/40 split back row. In fact, these seat backs don't just fold down. They can also recline. Functional Center Console The new Envision's center console is more than just a touch screen and a few storage spaces. For one thing, the touch screen comes with a set of buttons and dials that are easy to locate and use without having to look away from the road and has a separate set of controls for the climate control system. The center stack has a large storage box and a thin opening for your smartphone, and if you get a model with tri-zone climate control the back row gets its own set of controls and USB charging ports. Engine and Drive Options The standard 2019 Envision comes with a 2.5-liter engine that offers good fuel efficiency numbers and 197 horsepower. However, if that's not enough power for you, the top trims come with a 2.0-liter turbo model that can get up to 252 horsepower. This engine also comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission, and the extra gears make the Envision more efficient and help it accelerate smoothly. Most of the Envision's models are also available with all-wheel drive, a feature that gives you much better traction on slippery roads. Driver Information Center Depending on the trim, your 2019 Buick Envision will either have a 4.2-inch Driver Information Center (DIC) between the gauges or an 8-inch DIC that replaces them. This screen adds versatility because you can customize the display to whatever format you want, plus it offers all the functions of the older model. This means you can see things like your average trip speed, your projected gas mileage, the tire pressure, and more. The 2019 Buick Envision might be small and inexpensive by luxury standards, but there's nothing ordinary about the interior design or the high-quality features you can get on any of the Envision's trims. If you still aren't sure, go ahead and schedule a test drive at Bob Ruwart Motors to see what this crossover is like in person.
The 2018 Buick Enclave is one of many options for a new SUV. So why pick this make and model? Consider these four reasons why drivers choose this exceptional vehicle. Utility Inside and out, the new Enclave is loaded with utility. Two of the main benefits of an SUV are interior space and towing capacity, and you can certainly get these perks from this make and model. The vehicle sits seven people, so the interior is clearly spacious. Even with the seats up, you've got 23.6 cubic feet of cargo space to work with. You can fold the seats down, though, to get more room. This configuration gives you 97.6 cubic feet of cargo volume. This is good news if you've got a big family or plan on hauling lots of gear around, but ample interior space is only one area where the Enclave's utility excels. The vehicle can also tow up to 1,500 pounds — not enough for a large boat or something like a horse trailer, but plenty to get some kayaks or canoes to the lake or go glamping. Off-Road Capabilities You don't have to stick to paved roads in the 2018 Enclave. Much like its towing capacity, the vehicle is limited in where you can go off-road. Deep sand or mud, for example, is best left to more rugged options. But this SUV can take you to secluded beach spots or down unpaved mountain roads where you can find some peace and quiet. Plus, with premium ride suspension, you can explore in extraordinary comfort when you drive this vehicle. Luxury So, with modest utility and off-roading abilities, why go with the Enclave over something that delivers more in those categories? Simple: Luxury. The Enclave is a fantastic choice if you plan on taking advantage of the Enclave's utility, don't want to go mudding or bouldering, and also plan to use your vehicle as a commuter. The advantages of the Enclave's luxury are clear once you get behind the wheel. The SUV has premium seating materials, wood tones, and chrome accents. Both the first and second rows have leather-appointed seats. This vehicle also uses unique QuietTuning technology to drown out exterior noises. For ultimate luxury, upgrade to the Premium or Avenir trims. Both come with second row heated seats and ventilated driver and front passenger seats. Buick's infotainment system with navigation is exclusive to the Avenir. This premium trim also gets a power dual moonroof. Safety The 2018 Enclave is available in four trims: 1SV, Essence, Premium, and Avenir. The 1SV comes with basic safety features, such as electronic traction control and LED daytime running lamps. Additional active safety features are available on the higher trims. For example, the Essence, Premium, and Avenir have lane change alert with side blind zone alert and rear cross traffic alert. The Enclave is a fantastic vehicle that's best experienced in person. Check out the models available at Bob Ruwart Motors, including the 2018 Enclaves, and take one for a test drive to see firsthand how well Buick has blended power, utility, and luxury.

Pickup fans have always loved the Chevrolet Silverado. For 20 years, this full-size truck has been one of the most dependable on the market. Truck lovers all over the country are eagerly anticipating the new revision, and for good reason the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado is shaping up to be a real treat. Eight Different Trims The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado might be a few months away, but you can already get a sneak peek at the eight different trims that will be available. These are the High Country, LTZ, LT Trail Boss, RST, LT, Custom Trail Boss, Custom, and WT models. While even the base trim will be a fully capable, incredibly robust pickup with best-in-class cargo box volume, the higher levels of trim will up the ante with additional features. These will range from extra off-road equipment, such as a two-inch suspension lift, to cosmetic styling, such as chrome accents and body-color styling themes. Redesigned for 2019 You won't mistake the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado for any other pickup, but you're also sure to notice some tweaks to the truck's design. The manufacturer has introduced a bolder bumper, thinner headlights, and more aerodynamic body sculpting when compared to last year's model. The truck itself is also constructed from mixed materials, including 80 percent high-strength steel, which allows it to weigh in at about 450 pounds lighter than the 2018 Silverado. Despite this lower weight, the truck is actually longer than the previous design, which means that it affords more room to accommodate passengers and cargo. Engine Choices Depending on which trim you choose, you'll get one of two engines in the 2019 Chevy Silverado. The first is a 5.3-liter V8 engine that produces 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The second engine is a bit more powerful; it's a 6.2-liter V8 that can generate up to 425 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. These engines should result in similar performance to the 2018 model, but they should offer greater fuel efficiency as a result of Chevrolet's automatic engine start/stop technology. Chevrolet has also suggested that additional powertrain options might be revealed later this year, including a hybrid option to reduce your impact on the environment. Availability and Pricing If you're just as eager as we are to get your hands on the 2019 Chevy Silverado, rest assured that you won't have to wait very long. Chevrolet has indicated they plan to make the pickup available in late 2018. The manufacturer has yet to announce any pricing details, but industry experts expect to see the base trim starting at an MSRP of around $29,000. The highest levels of trim may cost between $60,000 and $70,000. Naturally, you'll be able to check out the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado right here at Bob Ruwart Motors as soon as it becomes available. The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado is sure to be a hit with truck enthusiasts everywhere. As the new pickup's release date gets closer, we expect to see even more exciting details revealed.
