** To get safety braking, adaptive cruise, pano sunroof etc.. it gets up to $53,000... not including their destination charges...!!

* My take on it ..... At first, I get a wow, what a sweet and comfy lux feeling ride.. Nice Vehicle. and it really is nice in general.
With it's very comfy seats, comfy ride, very decent handling, and classy looks inside and out.... Has lots of the techy stuff, etc. etc...
- Lane keep assist works well.
BUT,
Then I notice all the negatives you here about in the video above and the interior/walk around video part 2 of for this car.
You do get lots of stuff, but some you have to pay top trim to get,and others are still extra costs and some are not even available in this vehicle, to compete with it's class.
Like.
No Memory Side Mirrors w/seat settings
-Side Mirrors Don't Angle Down in Reverse
-Headlamps are Not Directional
-No Auto Highbeam Assist.. until Top trim 2
-Not Quietest Cabin, Especially for it's class
-Lesser Headroom than Most
-No Express Up on Any Passenger Windows
-Adaptive Cruise & Forward Brake Assist, Pano sunroof Only in Top Trim as OPTION !!! Extra costs !!
- Stereo is just o.k.

-Most Cool Features are in Premium Trim Levels only.

* So, Almost Acura RDX prices to get this Buick without some normal features that even lower class vehicles have, and this one doesn't ??
* And w/So So power (real world to the wheels, not just on paper), and So So Fuel Economy ?? Hmm....
** Especially since they saved $$ to build it in China ??? Then Over Price it back in North America ?? **
*** UPDATE*** I Prefer the New 2020 Subaru Outback over this. I just Test Drove it Couple days ago. Very Nice comfy ride, and Has pretty much all the Features a Comfy Lux Feel Vehicle should have, and it's More Powerful, Better on Fuel, and a Real Good AWD System.
I'm not trying to attack this SUV, cause it is very very nice ! Just saying, it's missing stuff and the Price should reflect that.
**Just a Bit Overpriced for What You Get or Don't Get !! - IMHO.
