FAST FACTS
"Redesigned for 2025, the Enclave continues to deliver the smooth ride and copious cabin space that it's known for, while a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine takes charge under the hood to promote fuel economy, improving by a modest 1-2 mpg compared to the previous V6. From the driver seat, a widescreen infotainment module makes a tech-forward statement that many rivals can't match. The Enclave isn't quite a class leader — the turbo four in particular is underwhelming — but it's a formidable competitor."—Ranked #7 out of 15 Midsize 3-Row SUVs
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2025 Buick Enclave that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The Enclave's full redesign for 2025 includes a new turbo engine that improves fuel economy by 2 mpg, per the EPA. Other notable figures include a weight loss of 22 pounds, a length gain of nearly 3 inches, a bump in width as well (this is a rather wide vehicle), more legroom in the first two rows — and the exact same wheelbase as the previous generation.
Adding all-wheel drive will cost you $2k and 2 mpg overall at the pump. We'd stick with the front-drive Enclave and save on both fronts.
