The Buick Enclave is this GM premium brand’s largest utility vehicle, fully redesigned for 2025. Introduced in 2008, the now third-generation Enclave continues to set the pace in a crowded segment, delivering a stylish and well-executed family vehicle. Let’s explore the highlights of this handsome seven-passenger model.
The 2025 Buick Enclave features a fresh design, one based on the stylish Buick Wildcat concept. This model features checkmark-style LED headlights, trim-specific grille designs, and a redesigned Buick logo. Bringing up the rear is an available full-width LED taillight assembly, offering an exclamation mark on this premium model. Nothing has been carried over from the previous year, as this model features a new platform and fresh sheet metal.
The most noticeable change with the new Enclave is the overhauled interior. The design is upscale and roomy, with higher-end materials utilized throughout the cabin. The top-of-the-line Avenir trim rivals Cadillac with its premium leather seating along with heating and cooling features.
Its 30-inch curved display integrates the instrument cluster and infotainment system, while the floating console expands storage capacity. Buick designed the Enclave to offer room for seven adults with captain’s chairs in the second row and a plush bench seat in the third row. Cargo space remains excellent, measuring 97.4 cubic feet behind the first row. That is more space than anything offered by a major competitor.
The integrated display is powered by Google-based software, supplying a clean and capable interface. The standard Preferred and upgraded ST trims come with a 12-speaker Bose audio system. Opt for Avenir and this grade features a 16-speaker Bose® audio package. All models come with multiple USB ports across all three rows and wireless smartphone charging up front.
We all know the importance of vehicle safety. In the 2025 Enclave, Buick does not disappoint. These features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection along with lane departure warning with lane-keep assist. Also featured is blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert as standard.
These generous features dovetail with this model’s exceptional crash-test safety ratings. GM’s Super Cruise technology is available for the first time this year, which allows for hands-free driving on thousands of public roads. Other options include a digital rearview mirror for obstruction-free vision and automatic parking assist.
The Enclave features a naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine for the first two generations. This year, Buick introduced a twin-turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and paired it with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination, though more compact, yields more power, specifically a robust 328 HP and 326 pound-feet of torque, improvements over the previous generations. The new Enclave maintains its 5,000-lb towing capacity with its available trailer package. It comes with standard front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive, a $2,000 upgrade.
Every Buick Enclave comes well-equipped, befitting this model’s premium status. The base model features 20-inch wheels and imitation leather upholstery. Level up to the ST grade, a model that features a blacked-out grille, sportier design elements, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel.
Make the move up to the range-topping new 2025 Buick Enclave Avenir, and all the luxury features of the Buick brand come in. These include 22-inch wheels, the higher-end audio package, heated second-row seats, a panoramic sunroof, woodgrain trim, and other luxury upgrades. The Enclave is best compared with models from Acura, Lincoln, and Lexus.
With a new model at the forefront, the Buick brand is poised to lead the premium utility vehicle segment with a full portfolio of models to suit every need. The 2025 Enclave builds on the success of the previous generations, delivering a thoroughly modern expression of this heralded nameplate.
