Enhanced Interior Space and Comfort
One of the first things you’ll notice when you step into the 2025 Enclave is the new interior, which includes not just new materials but a new layout. Buick redesigned the cabin to create more legroom in the second and third rows, making it easier to lounge on road trips and more accommodating for taller adults. The seats themselves are upgraded, too, with available heated and ventilated front seats and a heated second row.

Cargo space is optimized with a third row that folds down more easily than before for a quick transition from carrying the kids to carrying cargo. The Enclave also boasts a maximum tow rating of up to 5,000 pounds for the big stuff. The attention to detail inside along with maximizing cargo room makes this a truly family-friendly SUV.

2025 Buick Enclave First Drive Review: An Elevated Family-Hauler
The updated Enclave is better on every front, and even though it doesn’t stand out in any particular way, it’s the best version of itself thus far.
There’s a standard 12-speaker Bose audio system that becomes 16 speakers on the top Avenir trim. An abundance of USB ports, even for the third row, ensures everyone’s devices stay powered up. An optional rear-seat entertainment system with dual screens allows for two different shows or games to be watched simultaneously to help eliminate squabbles.
Advanced Safety Features
Safety is a priority when in a family vehicle, and the Enclave comes equipped with an advanced suite of safety technologies. New standard features include blind zone steering assist, intersection automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, and lane keep assist with departure warning. Rear seat reminders, to help prevent anyone or anything from being left in the rear seats, and reverse automatic braking are also standard features.

Models equipped with all-wheel drive get an EPA-estimated 19/24/21 mpg city/highway/combined. The figures get even better with front-wheel drive with an EPA estimate of 20/27/23 mpg respectively. This is a big vehicle, but those numbers make it easier for the family to stay on budget when gas prices rise.
Three Well-Priced Trims
The 2025 Buick Enclave is available in a range of three trims. Even in its base form, it is an attractive vehicle with good standard features in keeping with its premium status. The base Preferred FWD is $45,000, not including $1,395 destination, with a small increase to $47,400 for the Sport Touring. The Avenir takes a big jump to $58,000, but so does the number of features on this trim.
Avenir is a sub-brand within the Buick lineup reserved for its top offerings with the most luxurious interiors and more standard features. On the Enclave, this trim includes continuous damping control, which improves the ride to further enhance its appeal. It makes a noticeable difference in the ride quality, especially on rough pavement.
The 2025 Buick Enclave combines luxury, technology, safety, and efficiency in a versatile package well-suited to family life. Whether that’s running the kids to school or practice, vacation road trips, or weekend adventures, the Enclave is a great SUV for families.
