The 2025 Buick Enclave arrives completely redesigned from top to bottom, offering pampering features often found in more expensive vehicles—but at a very reasonable price. Starting at approximately $45,000, the Enclave comes in three trim levels, with the Avenir being the top-of-the-line. Its exterior features slender headlights, a sculpted front end capped with the brand new Buick logo, bright chrome, a wide grille that is a new Buick hallmark, and beautifully chromed wheels.
Powering the 2025 Enclave is a 4-cylinder turbo engine that generates 328 horsepower, providing plenty of capability for this size vehicle. As a three-row SUV, it offers seating for seven, while the interior embraces a minimalist and elegant design. A focal point of the Enclave’s cabin is the impressive 30-inch curved multimedia screen, inspired by Cadillac designs. Higher trims can be equipped with a digital rearview mirror, offering a clear video view behind the car, invaluable when the vehicle is fully loaded. Luxury extends to the material choices, including the chic Ebony interior with tone-on-tone ebony leather, gray stitching, charcoal wood, brushed metal, and chrome accents. For advanced driving, Super Cruise is available as a $3,700 add-on, enabling hands-free driving on compatible roads. Drivers can also select various modes like sport, touring, snow/ice, or off-road, which engages all-wheel drive for uneven surfaces.
The Enclave features captain’s chairs in the center row, creating an open and comfortable space with ample legroom for passengers to relax. Rear-seat passengers benefit from a dedicated console with a household outlet, USB ports, and climate controls. Second-row seats are on rails, allowing them to move forward and back and recline for maximum comfort. Access to the third row is made easy via a pass-through between the captain’s chairs or a button that slides and tilts the center-row seats forward. The cargo area is notably spacious, even with seven passengers, featuring good underfloor storage and a removable cargo cover. Thoughtful details include buttons to raise or lower the second and third-row seats, and an elegant panel covering the tow hook. The 2025 Buick Enclave is designed for customers who seek a refined, elegant family SUV that balances style and design with form and function, offering ample space for both people and gear without sacrificing sophistication.

Tour the 2025 Buick Enclave and it’s no surprise the company is setting sales records. Buick underwent a top-to-bottom overhaul over the last few years and it’s starting to pay off; the brand saw 29% growth in sales across its four-model portfolio for the first half of 2025. It’s an impressive streak for a brand that was more of a hidden gem than a category leader just a few years ago.
Leading the charge is Buick’s marquee model, the three-row, seven passenger Enclave SUV, a favorite for families who want under-the-radar luxury with an elevated interior experience, modern tech, extra seating and ample cargo space. Enclave’s sales are up 46% for the first half of 2025 so it’s no surprise that Duncan Aldred, Buick’s former global vice president, was recently elevated to president of GM North America.
Minimalism is a go-to design approach and one that is embodied in Buick’s Wildcat Concept, created in 2022 under design chief Sharon Gauci. Wildcat ushered in the next era of Buick design starting with a newly-slimmed logo, a sculpted nose and sleek head lights and tail lights. Its influence is seen in the Enclave, which eliminated or hid most buttons, moved the gear shifter to the steering column and streamlined functions like air vents and climate controls.
