Interior Design and Special Features
Enclave cabin has a cozy atmosphere with its upscale and elegant dash wood grain messages. There are chrome everywhere, though, which means dazzling reflections when the sun is at certain angles. Two other drawbacks include small and indistinct buttons for audio and climate control, and outward visibility is compromised more than competitive vehicles.
On the positive side, the Enclave is a crossover SUV market bigger. There are 19 cubic feet of usable space behind the third row of seats, 68 cubic feet with the 60/40 third row folded sections on the floor and a large (but not quite minivan degree) 116 cubic feet per second row folded . The third row access is facilitated by a tilt feature and sliding the second row of seats, but some flexibility is still needed to go back, and the third row of the Enclave is more oppressive than the Ford Flex.
