2025 Buick Enclave Tries to Justify Its Almost-Luxury Price

The front-wheel-drive Enclave Preferred starts at $45,000, while the Sport Touring is $47,400  and the top Avenir trim is priced at $58,000. All-wheel-drive versions of each trim add $2,000 more. We bought an AWD Sport Touring to test, which came out to $58,385 with options and the destination charge.

All Enclaves come standard with seven-passenger seating that features second-row captain’s chairs and a 60/40-split three-person third-row bench seat. There’s no eight-passenger version, which the Traverse and Acadia offer.

If you’re a Consumer Reports member, our initial expert assessment of the Buick Enclave is available below. Once we complete 2,000 break-in miles, we’ll put the SUV through more than 50 tests at the CR Auto Test Center, including empirical tests of acceleration, braking, handling, and usability. CR members will have access to the full road-test results as soon as they’re available.
