2025 Buick Enclave Avenir – Sculpting A New Standard In Luxury SUV Class
Article & Images With Permission By: John Grafman - AutoDesignO - August 6, 2025
What kinda SUV is that? Honestly, there’s a lot of similarities between designs of competing brands. Consumers might bemoan the lack of deviation and a sense of homogenization in the offerings. On the other hand, models that are out of step in terms of style compared to what’s the soup du jour are often relegated as second choices by buyers. This can be attributed to our herd instinct that’s baked into our DNA. Buick got dinged from this in the past, despite having solid products, but the 2025 Buick Enclave Avenir is aiming to change that. The Enclave now has less of an over-inflated look compared with the prior generation and it features a leaner, sharper image.

• Ford, through its dedicated Research and Innovation team, is taking a leadership role in helping to develop new materials for tires
• Ford teams are working with leading tire suppliers and manufacturers to bring these solutions to consumers faster
DEARBORN, Mich., July 6, 2011 – Ford Motor Company has established a unique cross-functional team whose mission is to develop innovative new tires that improve safety, boost fuel economy and enhance vehicle handling.
Located at Ford’s Research and Innovation Center in Dearborn, the dedicated tire team works closely with Ford’s Chassis Engineering and Vehicle Engineering functions, as well as leading tire companies, to test new compounds, new tread designs and other innovations.
Most automakers don’t influence significantly the development of the tires they use. But tires—the only component that touches the road while you drive—are one of the most important components of any vehicle.
Because tire tread is the main contributor to rolling resistance, which is simply the measure of force needed to roll the wheel forward, the team has focused its immediate attention on this part of the tire.
