The Buick Park Avenue is a luxury car with superior comfort, convenience, efficiency, and functionality. It is one of those models you cannot ignore when looking for a premium driving experience. The Park Avenue boasts user-friendly and advanced features and is offered in two trims: Base and Ultra. This post discusses these trims and the other benefits to consider before driving the car home. But first, let us take a look at the Buick brand.

About Buick
Buick is a division of the renowned automobile manufacturer General Motors. Established by David Dunbar Buick, it soon became one of our country’s most prominent automobile players. Buick retains its popularity to date, selling different designs of cars that can accommodate two, four, five, or six passengers. It has won many awards for its work and is marketed as a superior luxury car brand.

Available trims
Like most cars on the market, the Buick Park Avenue is available in multiple trims, which you can choose as per your requirements. The two options are:

Base
The Base trim   features a 3.6-liter V-6 engine paired with a four-speed auto transmission with overdrive. It is a front-wheel drive that can produce 205 hp at 5,200 rpm and 230 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. A few notable features of this trim are front air conditioning, AM/FM stereo, leather seats, remote keyless entry, and silver aluminum wheels (16 inches).

Ultra
The Ultra trim of the Buick Park Avenue features heated mirrors, ultrasonic parking assist, passenger and driver lumbar support, rain-sensing windshield wipers, chrome aluminum wheels (17 inches), and ABS and driveline traction control. Its engine is more capable, with a capacity to generate 240 hp at 5,200 rpm and a torque of 280 lb-ft at 3,600 rpm. Of course, it is also more expensive than the Base model.

Features to look for
Buying this car gives you access to the following features. Note that some benefits may be standard while others optional (to be purchased for an additional price). It all depends on the type of package you choose:

Safety
To ensure the driver’s and passengers’ safety, Buick Park Avenue comes with useful safety technologies. Front-impact airbags for the front passenger and driver are designed to protect the head from injuries in a frontal crash. The car also has side impact airbags for the front seats to protect and prevent torso injuries in case of a side impact collision. Anti-lock brakes are another great feature. They boost the vehicle’s ability to turn safely when braking and automatically sense when the tire has stopped moving under strong braking. Further, an ignition disable device helps prevent the engine from starting if the original manufacturer key is not inserted, helping prevent unwanted vehicle intrusion.

Infotainment
An infotainment system makes a long journey enjoyable and is worth investing in. The Buick Park Avenue has an AM/FM stereo with cassette, Concert Sound II Speakers, and a 12-disc CD changer in the trunk. Note that these may vary depending on the package you select.

Other features
Besides the safety and infotainment features listed here, you may get automatic day/night mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering with touch controls, a garage door opener, power windows, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a rear armrest with storage, and BSW tires. You may also get dual heated power fold turn mirrors.

Besides noting the trims and features of the Buick Park Avenue listed here, we recommend contacting a nearby local Buick dealer to learn more about and compare the car thoroughly. A test drive is an excellent option to ensure the vehicle meets your expectations. After all, a car is a long-term investment, and you do not want to get anything wrong!
