The Buick Enclave has always been about giving families a little more comfort without stepping into the luxury SUV price range. Following its recent redesign, the 2027 model returns with a few updates that make it worth another look. Here's what Buick has planned for the new model year.
Key Takeaways:
- The 2027 Buick Enclave adds two exterior colors, new wheel designs, and an additional interior color combination for the Avenir.
- Super Cruise hands-free driving is now standard on the Avenir.
- Google's Gemini AI assistant is now standard across the lineup.
What Buick Enclave Changes Should You Expect for 2027?
Since Buick redesigned the Enclave for '25, Car and Driver reports that the automaker focuses on a few appearance and tech updates for '27. Blue Onyx and Emerald Green Metallic join the exterior paint choices, while the Avenir adds an available Cool Gray and Twilight Ash interior color combination.
There are two new wheel designs, including a 22-inch pearl nickel finish exclusive to the Avenir. That trim receives another notable upgrade with standard Super Cruise, GM's hands-free driving system for compatible roads. Buick also adds Google's Gemini AI assistant as standard equipment.
How Much Power Does the 2027 Buick Enclave Have?
All three Enclave trims use a 328-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, the same engine found in the Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia.
It pairs with an eight-speed automatic, and buyers can choose front- or all-wheel drive.
Unlike some of its GM relatives, the Enclave doesn't offer a dedicated off-road package. Its focus is on comfortable driving rather than tackling challenging trails. The Preferred and Sport Touring use conventional dampers and have standard 20-inch wheels, with 22-inch wheels available. The Avenir has adaptive dampers and 22-inch wheels.
Can the Buick Enclave Pull a Trailer?
It sure can! The 2027 Enclave has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. A factory-installed trailer hitch is available as an option on the Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir.
What Kind of Mileage Does the Enclave Get?
The front-wheel-drive Enclave earns EPA estimates of 20 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg combined. Choosing all-wheel drive changes those figures to 20 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined.
What Tech Will You Find Inside the Enclave?
One of the Enclave's most noticeable interior features is its 30-inch curved display, which combines digital gauges and a touchscreen infotainment system, giving the dashboard a modern look without splitting the screens into separate units. Buick uses GM's Google-based infotainment software, which supports downloadable apps and now includes the Gemini AI assistant. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
Other standard features include a wireless charging pad, an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, multiple USB ports, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system. The Avenir upgrades the sound system to a 16-speaker Bose setup.
