Having unveiled a rebadged version of the Opel Cascada and the Avenir concept at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show,->ke222 Buick has announced plans to unveil something new at the New York Auto Show->ke226 as well. However, this time we won't be getting a new nameplate or a concept previewing a future product, but a new equipment package for the Enclave. Set to go on sale this summer on the Leather and Premium trims, the package goes by the name Tuscan Edition and adds a number of standard luxury features to the full-size SUV, as well as two new exterior colors, White Frost Tricoat and Ebony Twilight Metallic.

Specifically, in addition to the standard equipment on the Leather trim, the Tuscan Edition gets a heated, wood-trimmed steering wheel, Ice-Blue LED ambient lighting around the instrument panel, heated, eight-way power front seats with power recline, lumbar support and driver memory, OnStar with 4G LTE and built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, and tri-zone automatic climate control. HID headlamps, a power liftgate, rear park assist, and rear-vision camera system are also included.

The Premium trim comes with all of the above plus heated/cooled seats and a power-tilting/telescoping steering column. Both models are powered by the 3.6-liter V-6 generating 288 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, while all-wheel-drive remains an option. There's no word on pricing for the Tuscan Edition package, but we should find out more at the 2015 New York Auto Show scheduled to begin on April 3rd. Stay tuned!

Why it matters

As an entry-level luxury SUV, the Enclave could use a bit more chutzpah against the likes of the Infiniti QX60, and this package might get the job done if Buick doesn't charge too much for the extra features. With Enclave sales on the rise since 2012, Buick needs to explore the possibility of moving its products up the luxury ladder. An equipment package won't do much in that direction, but it's a good start ahead of the SUVs first redesign.
