04What's the Difference Between AWD vs. 4WD?
All-wheel drive and four-wheel drive systems both offer enhanced traction, but they function differently. For enhanced handling in all weather conditions, AWD is ideal, as it can redistribute power across all wheels as needed for optimal grip in all conditions. If you need a vehicle suited for off-road and rugged terrain, consider a 4WD vehicle, which features a transfer case and dedicated low-range gears for greater control and power distribution.
05Do Buick Vehicles Come with Standard Safety Features?
All new Buick vehicles prioritize safety with a suite of standard features across the lineup. Most models include standard and available features like Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, HD Surround Vision, Automatic Emergency Braking and more.
