Three-row luxury SUV Mahwah, New Jersey

The Buick Enclave

Most three-row SUVs treat the back row as an occasional favour. The Enclave was designed around the idea that seven people should all want to be in it.

Quick answer

The Buick Enclave is a seven-seat, three-row luxury SUV built on a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder producing 328 horsepower. It offers up to 97.5 cubic feet of cargo space, tows up to 5,000 pounds with the standard Trailering Package, and is available in three trims: Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir. Super Cruise hands-free driving is available on every one of them.

What the Enclave is

A mid-size three-row SUV that sits above the mainstream and below the German luxury tier — which is exactly the gap most families with two car seats and a dog are actually shopping in.

If you are cross-shopping inside our own showroom, the Acadia vs. Enclave comparison is the one most people need, and the Buick and GMC SUV size guide places the Enclave against every other three-row we stock.

The cabin does the arguing

Buick's case for the Enclave is not made on a spec sheet. It is made in the first ten seconds after the door closes.

The long way home stops feeling long.

Super Cruise is available on every Enclave — hands-free driver assistance on compatible highways, which is the feature that changes a holiday drive down the Parkway more than any other on the options list. Avenir adds a Premium Ride Suspension with Continuous Damping Control that reads the road surface and adjusts continuously.

Three numbers that decide it

Cargo volume is the specification families actually live with. Here it is at all three states, without the marketing rounding.

22.9 cu ftBehind the third row, with all seven seats in use
57.1 cu ftThird row folded, five seats up
97.5 cu ftSecond and third rows folded

Second-row captain's chairs are standard, which is why the Enclave seats seven rather than eight — a deliberate trade of one seat for a walk-through aisle and two better ones. Avenir adds heated second-row outboard seats. Our cargo and seating dimensions guide puts these figures next to the rest of the lineup.

05

Three trims, and what actually separates them

The Enclave is unusual in that the entry trim is genuinely well equipped. The walk up is about character and materials more than it is about filling gaps.

Preferred$46,200

20-inch wheels, second-row captain's chairs, the 30-inch display, a 12-speaker Bose system, heated front seats, tri-zone climate and wireless charging — all standard.

Sport Touring$49,700

The same mechanical package with a black mesh grille, exclusive wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel and dark interior accents. Adds a head-up display and a digital rearview mirror.

Avenir$59,600

22-inch alloys, a panoramic power sunroof, heated second-row outboard seats, a 16-speaker system, perforated leather with a power-massaging driver's seat, and the Premium Ride Suspension with Continuous Damping Control.

Which Enclave is yours

  • You want the technology, not the badgePreferred. The 30-inch display, Bose audio and the safety suite are all standard, and Super Cruise can still be added.
  • You want it to look less like a family SUVSport Touring. Same drive, darker treatment, plus a head-up display.
  • You drive it every day and farAvenir. The Premium Ride Suspension and the massaging driver's seat are the two things you feel on every trip, not just on the test drive.

Buying an Enclave on Route 17

Buick GMC of Mahwah sits on Route 17 in northern Bergen County, with both marques under one roof — which matters more than it sounds when a household is deciding between an Enclave and an Acadia.

Compare

Two brands, one visit

You can put an Enclave and an Acadia side by side in the same afternoon here. Our history on Route 17 explains how that came about.

Plan

Trade and finance

Start with a trade-in valuation, then run the numbers through the finance centre before you settle on a trim.

Visit

Bring the whole family

Third-row access is worth testing with the people who will actually sit there. Contact the showroom to arrange it, or reserve a vehicle that is on its way.

07

Enclave questions, answered

What shoppers ask before booking a first test drive.

How many people does the Buick Enclave seat?

Seven, across three rows. Second-row captain's chairs are standard, which trades a single middle seat for a walk-through aisle and easier third-row access. That is a deliberate design choice rather than a limitation.

How much cargo space does the Buick Enclave have?

Cargo volume is 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row with all seven seats in use, 57.1 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 97.5 cubic feet with both the second and third rows folded.

What engine does the Buick Enclave use?

A 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available on every trim.

Can the Buick Enclave tow?

Yes. The Enclave is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, and the Trailering Package that enables it is standard across the trim range. That covers a small boat, a pair of personal watercraft or a light utility trailer.

Is Super Cruise available on the Buick Enclave?

Super Cruise is available on every Enclave trim. It is a hands-free driver assistance system that operates on compatible mapped highways, and it is one of the features most worth experiencing on a test drive rather than reading about.

What are the Buick Enclave trim levels?

Three: Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir. Published starting MSRP is $46,200 for the Preferred, $49,700 for the Sport Touring and $59,600 for the Avenir, excluding destination charge, taxes, title and dealer fees.

What is the difference between Sport Touring and Avenir?

Sport Touring is an appearance and technology step: a black mesh grille, exclusive wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel, dark interior accents, a head-up display and a digital rearview mirror. Avenir is the luxury step, adding 22-inch alloys, a panoramic sunroof, heated second-row outboard seats, a 16-speaker Bose system, perforated leather with a power-massaging driver's seat, and the Premium Ride Suspension with Continuous Damping Control.

How big is the Buick Enclave?

The Enclave is 207.6 inches long on a 120.9-inch wheelbase, which places it in the mid-size three-row class. It is large enough for seven adults and long-haul cargo, while remaining manageable in a standard garage and in Bergen County parking.

Sit in the third row before you decide

It is the single most useful twenty seconds of an Enclave test drive, and the one thing a specification sheet cannot tell you.

Specifications, capability ratings, feature availability and pricing are drawn from Buick's published information for the Enclave and are subject to change. Cargo volumes, towing ratings and fuel economy figures depend on configuration and cannot all be achieved simultaneously. Photography may show a model year, trim or equipment level other than the one you configure. Always confirm the specification and price of the individual vehicle you are considering. Current offers are listed on our new vehicle specials page, and additional Enclave detail is available on our Enclave inventory guide.
