Buick is quietly carving out a niche in the premium SUV segment with its focus on vehicles that strike a balance between luxury and relatively affordable pricing. The fully redesigned 2025 Enclave stays true to that philosophy, while incorporating significant advancements in design and technology. As the flagship of the Buick lineup, the Enclave positions itself as the brand's premium offering.

2025 Buick Enclave - What's new?

The 2025 Enclave features a new, more squared-off and imposing design than the previous model. Dimensions have been slightly increased, resulting in more interior space.
