Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse, Ford Flex Latches

fatherof3 · Dec 23, 2009

how many Latches does the Buick Enclave have in the second row in the 8 seat option? I have edited this to include a few more cars as the dealers seem to give the wrong information.

If it's the same as the Outlook (Saturn version) 2 sets of latch outboard 2nd row. Tethers in the center of 2nd & 3rd row.

In the eight seat option, there are two full sets of LATCH on either outboard side, and a top tether anchor in the center position.

Thanks. Can you also let me know on the Chevy Traverse and Ford Flex.

Sure, for the Traverse it's the same set up. LATCH outboard and if there's a middle seat, it has a top tether anchor.

For the Flex, (assuming you want the seven passenger not the six passenger) there are also two full LATCH outboard and a top tether middle position.

Right, if you're considering the Buick Enclave or Chevy Traverse, please note that those crossover models, along with the GMC Acadia and the discontinued Saturn Outlook, are all essentially the same GM-branded sibling models with the same LATCH and tether anchor setups. They mainly differ in their GM brand badging, pricing, some variations in features/options and their interiors, and exterior cosmetic differences such as the sheet metal and taillights to differentiate them.

seems like you are saying they are basically the same car. If this is the case it would make more sense to get the cheaper one.

Yep, unless you want the added bling of the spendier Buick or GMC versions over the Chevy model, assuming you're buying new. The Saturn variation is probably rock bottom priced if any of those are left due to Saturn's discontinuation and demise, while the Chevy is the newest variation on the block and starts out at the lowest MSRP price point, if I'm remembering correctly. Happy car shopping.
