2021 Buick Enclave

The Enclave’s superior styling with its signature grille, hand-free power liftgate, power moonroof and winged LED headlamps creates today’s family SUV. It seats up to seven people in three rows and is one of the roomiest SUVs in its class, with plenty of space for passengers and cargo. The first two rows are spacious and comfortable, while the second-row slides forward to allow easy access in and out of the vehicle. Cloth upholstery is standard, as well as heated and power-adjustable front seats. Leather upholstery, ventilated and massaging front seats, heated second-row outboard seats, a power-folding third row, and a heated, power-folding steering wheel are available. If you fold down the second and third-row seats, the Enclave yields nearly 98 cubic feet of cargo space, with 23.6 cubic feet of space behind the third row. An additional 3.1 cubic feet is providing for underfloor storage. The Enclave comes in four trim levels: Preferred, Essence, Premium, and Avenir. Prices start at $40,000 for the Preferred trim and range to $53,800 for the Avenir trim. All-wheel drive pricing adds another $2,000 - $2,300.

There are plenty of advanced safety features on the Enclave, though just a few are standard, and most are available. Standard advanced safety features include a rearview camera and rear parking sensors. Available advanced safety features include blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and lane change alert, as well as a rear camera mirror and surround-view parking camera system. Buick’s Driver Confidence package is available on the Premium and Avenir. It includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, front and rear parking sensors, automatic high-beam headlights, and a following distance indicator.
