Buick Enclave
Latest Model
2025 Model Redesign Year
Redesigned for 2025, the three-row midsized Enclave--which is mechanically similar to the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia--remains a functional and well-rounded family SUV, thanks to its comfortable ride and roomy cabin.
The sole engine is a 328-hp, turbocharged four-cylinder teamed with a mostly smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic.
The powertrain performs well, but it sounds raspy and unrefined compared to the previous V6, and fuel economy is just a mediocre 20 mpg overall for the AWD model we tested.
Some drivers didn't find the flat-shaped front seats very comfortable.
All Enclave trims come standard with roomy second-row captain's chairs, but the third-row seat will be tight for adults.
The curved, 30-inch screen on the dashboard is large, yet it's overcrowded with small icons.

We got 18 mpg overall in our tests.
Towing capacity is 5,000 pounds.
The roomy cabin is very quiet and the ride is comfortable, befitting a Buick flagship.

2008-2017
2008 Model Redesign Year
The Buick Enclave is a large, car-based SUV with three rows of seats.
It shares a platform with the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook.
All use GM's contemporary 3.6-liter V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that is a bit hesitant to downshift.
We found the ride comfortable and quiet, and the powertrain smooth.
Handling is secure and pretty agile for such a big vehicle.
The third-row seat is roomy enough for adults.
