2026 Buick Enclave

The 2026 Buick Enclave is a three-row SUV that occupies the middle ground between three-row SUVs from mainstream brands and those bearing luxury badges. In most cases, however, it's way bigger than both groups thanks to adult-friendly rear seating in both rows and extra-large cargo capacity. It's also very well equipped from the get-go, with a base level of feature content that aligns more closely with the upper trim levels of non-luxury rivals, though this results in a higher base price.

We recommend the entry-level Preferred trim. There's very little "base trim" about it, with features typically reserved for upper trim levels included (20-inch wheels, second-row captain's chairs, wireless phone charging, a premium audio system). And paying about $2,500 more for the midlevel Sport Touring's black accents doesn't make a lot of sense to us. Even the top Avenir trim's wealth of extra equipment doesn't vault the Enclave into the realm of luxury vehicle status, as its price tag suggests.
