Enclave Plus chassis analysis is as follows: Engine guard plate: The original vehicle is equipped with a fiberglass engine guard plate; Opening the engine guard plate reveals a lateral stabilizer bar, which enhances the vehicle's stability during cornering. Lateral stabilizer bar: Above the lateral stabilizer bar is the oil pan, unlike the aluminum oil pan of the old Enclave model, the Enclave Plus uses a bakelite material, which offers better heat dissipation and strength. Aluminum components: The front triangular arm, steering knuckle, and other parts are made of aluminum, providing better strength compared to cast iron, reflecting Buick's commitment to using genuine materials.

The chassis design of the Buick Envision Plus is truly reassuring. I've been driving this SUV for over half a year now, and during daily commutes, the chassis feels stable and comfortable. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, with a softer tuning that minimizes vibrations when going over speed bumps or rough roads, keeping the ride smooth inside the cabin. With a ground clearance of about 190mm, it's sufficiently high, so there's no need to worry about scraping the undercarriage during suburban outings. The chassis is constructed with high-strength steel, making it robust and durable, and the anti-rust treatment is also commendable, with no unusual noises even after prolonged use. The only thing to note is the regular inspection of suspension rubber bushings and shock absorbers to maintain their elasticity and prevent aging from affecting ride comfort. Overall, this chassis is perfectly suited for family use and city driving, offering peace of mind and practicality.

I test-drove the Envision Plus, and its chassis performance was quite impressive, offering a flexible yet stable handling feel. It features an independent suspension system, with a front MacPherson and rear multi-link setup that ensures strong wheel grip, minimal body roll during turns, and quick brake response. The high ground clearance allows the vehicle to handle light off-road conditions, such as snow or mud, with ease, providing excellent passability. The chassis is made of lightweight alloy steel, striking a balance in weight that doesn’t compromise fuel efficiency while reducing vibration noise. It’s recommended to occasionally clean dirt off the chassis to prevent corrosion. The overall design is well-balanced, making it reliable for both daily commutes and leisure road trips.

The key to the Enclave Plus chassis lies in its suspension and structural durability, with my focus being on maintenance. The chassis utilizes an independent suspension system, and high-toughness steel reduces the risk of fractures. The high ground clearance helps avoid scrapes, but it's recommended to regularly inspect the suspension arms and bearings, and clean off mud and dust to prevent rust. The aerodynamic design also aids in fuel efficiency. Simple maintenance can extend its lifespan.
