The Buick Enclave isn’t chasing trends or trying to be something it’s not. This is a big, comfy three-row SUV that knows its lane, and in 2026, it’s sticking to it. If you're into smooth power and tech-forward interiors, the 2026 Enclave might be exactly what you’re after. Let’s walk through what’s new (and what’s not) for this low-drama Buick luxury ride.
Key Takeaways
- No major changes for 2026—but there are new paint colors and interior options
- Same 328-hp turbo engine across all trims, with FWD or AWD
- Avenir trim packs in more comfort, more tech, and even more Bose.
The Enclave was just redesigned in 2025, so Buick didn’t mess with it much for 2026. What you do get are a couple of fresh paint colors—Iridescent White and Stone Metallic—and an interior upgrade for the Avenir trim: a sharp Cool Gray and Mocha two-tone option.
Avenir models now come standard with a rear-view camera mirror, which helps a ton when you’re fully loaded with people and gear.
Buick hasn’t released official pricing just yet, but here’s where the trims are expected to land:
- Preferred: $47,000
- Sport Touring: $50,000
- Avenir: $60,000
Power and Performance in the 2026 Enclave
Every 2026 Enclave runs the same 328-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder, mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
The Avenir trim gets adaptive dampers that adjust to the road surface in real time, which is great for soaking up rough patches or highway expansion joints. Preferred and Sport Touring models keep things simpler with standard dampers, riding on 20-inch wheels (though you can option 22s if you’re feeling flashy).
Need to tow? You can pull up to 5,000 pounds, but only if you opt for the Trailering package.
All About Space and Screens in the 2026 Enclave
Where the Enclave really flexes is inside. That 30-inch curved display is the centerpiece, wrapping cleanly from the driver's side across the dash. It blends your digital gauges with a sharp, intuitive infotainment touchscreen that runs GM’s latest Google-based software. Google Maps, app downloads, and real-time traffic.
You get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, built-in Wi-Fi, and a 12-speaker Bose sound system right out of the gate. Step up to the Avenir and that gets swapped out for a 16-speaker premium Bose system that fills the cabin with surprisingly rich sound.
Every row has USB ports, the seats are plush enough for long hauls, and you won’t hear much wind or road noise. Buick’s made quiet cabins its thing, and the Enclave delivers.
