Buick Enclave Overview

The 2025 Buick Enclave introduces a fully redesigned third generation, blending premium features with practicality. Positioned at the larger end of the midsize three-row crossover segment, it competes with full-size SUVs, offering families ample space and comfort. Updates include a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine replacing the previous V6, alongside an eight-speed automatic transmission. While fuel efficiency has improved, real-world performance feels less refined, with a noisy, high-revving engine under load.


The Enclave shines on long road trips, delivering a smooth, quiet ride thanks to soft suspension tuning and effective noise insulation. General Motors’ Super Cruise driver-assist technology, debuting in the Enclave, excels on highways, making it a standout feature for frequent travelers. The spacious interior accommodates seven passengers, with comfortable seating and advanced climate control, though material quality falls short of luxury competitors. A 30-inch LCD screen integrates the gauge cluster and infotainment, offering modern functionality but attracting fingerprints.

Pricing starts at $48,395 in the U.S., making the Enclave competitive but costly when fully equipped. While its flagship Avenir trim ventures into luxury territory, it struggles to match rivals like the Acura MDX or Lexus TX in refinement. Best suited for families prioritizing comfort and tech, the Enclave offers value when kept light on options.

    I don't need a car to drive for me so this sounds like a good deal to me!

    Category ratings of one 7 and the rest are 8s and you give it an overall rating of 3.9? I'm not a math major, but I am an Engineer. Must be the new math. Don't get me wrong, I don't really care; but nonsense usually gets my attention.
