Comfort and Practicality
Curious about space, comfort and everyday usability? Here’s how to decide which SUV fits your lifestyle best.

- Is the Buick Enclave more expensive than the Chevy Traverse?
The Enclave is a premium SUV, with more features coming standard on lower trims, which ultimately demands a higher starting price. The Traverse offers a more budget-friendly starting price, but can also be customized with add-ons that meet a variety of needs.
- Which offers better value for the money?
If you want more of a quiet, luxury feel, the Enclave is easily worth the investment. If space, durability and affordability matter more to you, the Traverse is a great choice.
- Which SUV holds its value better over time?
Generally, Chevrolet vehicles like the Traverse may depreciate a bit slower due to broader appeal. That said, the Enclave’s luxury features can help it retain value among buyers looking for a premium, used SUV.
- How does insurance cost compare between the Enclave and Traverse?
It is possible that insurance premiums will be slightly higher for the Enclave due to its luxury positioning and higher starting price. With lower-priced configurations, premiums on the Traverse may be lower, making it more appealing for budget-conscious buyers. However, insurance premiums vary greatly by provider and primary driver, so you should consult your agent for a price quote if this is a buying concern.
- Do both have the same warranty coverage?
Yes, both come with identical warranties: 3 years/36,000 miles basic and 5 years/60,000 miles powertrain, plus additional roadside assistance and maintenance visit features.

If you are looking for a family-friendly SUV, then the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe likely makes your list. With three rows of seats, this SUV can fit the whole family. It also has smart features, like rain-sensing wipers, that will help you appreciate the little things in life.
Rain-sensing Wipers Help You See the Road
If you happen to visit Baum Chevrolet Buick while it’s raining, you will get to check out the rain-sensing wipers in the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe on your test-drive. Whether or not you get to try them out before buying the Tahoe, the technology behind the wipers is worth learning more about.
Automakers have tried to create rain-sensing wiper systems for years with limited success. Today, however, companies like Chevrolet are using systems that deliver results. These typically rely on optical sensors to detect moisture. Many systems will mount the sensor, so it is by the rearview mirror and touches the inside of your windshield. The sensor then emits infrared light at a 45-degree angle and evaluates what happens. If the light reflects back to the sensor, the windshield is dry or nearly dry. If less light reaches the sensor, it is raining.
Using optical sensors like this adds even more functionality to rain-sensing wipers. In addition to turning on and off by themselves, this technology lets them adjust their speed based on how quickly the moisture accumulates. A convenient touch will turn off the system, such as when washing your Tahoe.
Handling for All Driving Conditions
Even with the extreme seasons in Illinois, you won’t have to worry about whether your 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe is up to the challenge. That is particularly true when you choose to add Magnetic Ride Control to the standard independent rear suspension. For an even smoother experience, opt for the first-in-class Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension.
Performance to Match
The performance behind the Tahoe matches its unique suspension, which is the most advanced in its class. You can choose from two V8 engines, letting you find the perfect balance of efficiency and power.
Attention to Detail Inside the Cabin
No matter how far you drive in the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, you will appreciate the attention to detail that Chevrolet put into the SUV. The reimagined cabin feels even more spacious than before. There are also unique features, including a Power Sliding Center Console that helps you make the most of the space. Slide it back as far as 10 inches, creating a hidden storage spot perfect for valuables.
The interior of the Tahoe is as versatile, if not more versatile, than ever before. You can make use of up to 122.9 cubic feet for cargo, the best-in-class figure. Or keep all of the seats upright and let your third-row passengers enjoy 40 percent more legroom than they did in the previous generation.

Head to Baum Chevrolet Buick in Clinton, IL, to configure your 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and start taking advantage of its rain-sensing wipers and other amazing features.
2021 Buick Encore Gives You a Firm Grip on Any Road
You don’t have to worry about whether your 2021 Buick Encore is up to the challenge of winter weather or tough roads. This SUV comes with StabiliTrak to give you great traction, along with plenty of other amazing features.
StabiliTrak Is Even Better Than Traction Control
When the team at Baum Chevrolet Buick tells you about the StabiliTrak system in the 2021 Buick Encore, you will quickly notice that this stability control system has some advantages over a traction control system. For one, you never have to turn off the StabiliTrak, but that’s something you would have to do with traction control.
Just the fact that the Encore has stability control means that it is a step ahead of traction control. That is because stability control is essentially an improved version of traction control. It features a more powerful processor, more electronic sensors, and more advanced computer programming. All these additional features mean that stability control, like StabiliTrak, does an even better job at keeping you in control of your vehicle.
Other Safety Features Give You Confidence
The 2021 Buick Encore supplements the StabiliTrak with other safety features to give you even more confidence. It starts with 10 standard air bags. From there, you can also make use of rear cross-traffic alerts, OnStar, and side blind zone alert. A rearview camera is standard, making backing up safe and easy.
A Cargo Area That Adapts to Your Life
No two days in your life are ever the same, but the 2021 Buick Encore can adapt to meet all your needs. For those times you want to take everyone with you, you can fit five people in the Encore comfortably. When it’s time for a road trip, fold down the rear seats. Then, you and your passengers get 48.4 cubic feet for luggage, tents, or any other gear you need to bring. Or maybe you’re bringing home something long from the store. In that case, you’ll appreciate the fold-flat passenger seat.
The Interior Lets You Focus on Conversations
Sitting in the Encore means that you don’t have to worry about road noise interrupting your conversations with your passengers. That is because the SUV comes with the Buick QuietTuning technologies. These include acoustic laminated glass on the front side windows and windshield, as well as triple door seals. The result is a reduction in excess noise and the ability to hear others in the car. You can see this for yourself during a test drive at Baum Chevrolet Buick.
Never a Dull Moment
There is never a dull moment behind the wheel of the 2021 Buick Encore, thanks to the Buick Infotainment System. You will find Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You can also use the myBuick mobile app to get real-time diagnostics or check the tire pressure. An upgrade even lets you remotely lock or unlock doors and start or stop your engine with the app.
Take the Encore on a Test-drive Today
Get a feel for the confidence delivered by the StabiliTrak system when you visit Baum Chevrolet Buick in Clinton, IL, and take the 2021 Encore on a test drive. You’ll also appreciate the quiet interior and cargo versatility.
Enjoy Safety in the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
When you get behind the wheel of a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you will be treated to a highly capable truck that keeps you safe. From the moment you learn about its features at Baum Chevrolet Buick, you will see that the Silverado 1500 has plenty to offer Illinois drivers. Take a closer look at some of its standout amenities.
Bluetooth Keeps You Safe and Connected
The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 keeps you safe in multiple ways. These include features you may not necessarily associate with safety, such as Bluetooth. Even with Bluetooth now standard on many cars at Baum Chevrolet Buick, it is a standout offering worthy of discussing.
The rise of Bluetooth in cars and trucks comes directly from safety considerations. Most importantly, research confirms that using hands-free electronics compared to handheld electronics decreases your risk of getting in an accident. Look at the study from the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. It found that using a handheld phone increases your risk of a crash by 2-3.5 times.
The bottom line is anything that requires manual or visual action puts you at risk. Hands-free devices reduce this risk, and Bluetooth lets you take advantage of that hands-free technology.
The Most Functional Truck Bed You Will Find
On top of the Bluetooth functionality, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has the most functional truck bed you can find. It starts with high-strength steel that was roll-formed to create a sturdy bed. It also boasts 89.1 cubic feet, the best-in-class figure. To keep your gear organized, the truck bed even has a whopping 12 tie-downs, twice the number available from competitors.
Looking for more functionality? You can take advantage of the industry-first power-up/down tailgate.
Can Handle All of Your Tasks
The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is up to whatever task you throw its way. Maximize efficiency with the 2.7-liter turbocharged engine or opt for the 6.2-liter V8 to get extra power. Don’t forget to consider the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel as well. In total, there are five engine configurations to choose from. Combine that power with advanced towing technology, so you never have to leave your trailer or boat behind.
For an example of the type of towing technology you will find in the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, look no further than the available 15 camera views. This is more coverage than you will find on any competitor.
Depending on how you configure your Silverado 1500, you can tow up to 13,300 pounds or haul up to 2,280 pounds. Or you can enjoy up to 23 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway, helping keep your fuel costs low. To put it in perspective, this means that you could drive the Silverado 726 miles on the highway without having to refuel.
