The Buick Enclave moved up-market with the release of an all-new second-generation model for 2018, hoping to draw comparisons with mid-size crossovers from more premium brands like Acura and Infiniti.
We’ll refrain—for now—from weighing in on whether Buick was successful in its goals. Like its predecessor, the second-generation Buick Enclave fits neatly into the midsize utility vehicle segment, with three rows of seating providing space for up to seven. It offers a single engine/transmission combo, coupling a 310 hp 3.6-liter V6 with a 9-speed automatic transmission, with standard front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available as an option.
The Buick Enclave’s 2018 redesign brought about an extra two inches of wheelbase and length, affording occupants greater legroom without compromising on cargo space. Standard features include three-zone automatic climate control, a bounty of USB ports, and an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Pricing for the 2020 Buick Enclave starts at $41,195 including destination, reaching $57,295 before options for a top-of-the-line AWD Avenir model.
