Buick has taken the wraps off its redesigned flagship SUV, the 2025 Enclave. The new Enclave receives an elegant new design inside and out, a more powerful engine, and a segment-first 30-inch widescreen infotainment system. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this SUV stand out.
Design Evolution
The 2025 Enclave represents Buick’s latest design language, first seen on the Wildcat EV concept. The SUV embraces Buick’s “PURE” philosophy:
- Purity in design
- Unexpected details
- Refined finishes
- Exceptional executions
The exterior boasts an updated grille, front, and rear fascia. It features a prominent “shark nose”, trapezoidal grille and signature LED lighting, including checkmark-shaped headlamps and cross-car taillamps. The Avenir trim adds a touch of luxury with a walk-up lighting animation.
The interior is equally impressive. A floating centre console adds to the feeling of spaciousness and houses storage, a multi-controller, wireless charging, and cupholders. Buick has focused on high-quality materials and finishes. The Avenir trim, for instance, features quilted leather seats with the Avenir logo.
Buick has carefully considered the colour palette, opting for jewel tones to create a dramatic effect. A dark blue interior colour is unique to this Buick model.
Power and Performance
Under the bonnet, the 2025 Enclave is powered by a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, and buyers can choose between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
The Enclave offers a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs when properly equipped.
Technology Takes Centre Stage
One of the most significant updates is the massive 30-inch widescreen infotainment system that dominates the dashboard. This is the largest screen in its class and features Google built-in compatibility allowing seamless access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play. The system also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Another highlight is the availability of Super Cruise, General Motor’s hands-free driver assistance system. This marks the first time Super Cruise has been offered on a Buick, and it’s available on all trim levels. Super Cruise will allow for hands-free driving on compatible roads, which will be expanded to around 750,000 miles across the US and Canada by 2025.
Safety Features
The 2025 Enclave comes standard with a comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assistance features, including:
- Blind Zone Steering Assist
- Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
- Traffic sign recognition
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
These features are designed to enhance driver awareness and provide assistance in potentially dangerous situations.
Trim Levels and Pricing
The 2025 Buick Enclave will be offered in three trim levels: Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir.
- The Preferred trim offers standard features such as a power liftgate, heated front seats, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, and 20-inch alloy wheels.
- The Sport Touring trim adds a sportier look with a flat-bottom steering wheel, ST-exclusive interior trim, unique black grille accents, and 20-inch machine-faced wheels.
- The top-of-the-line Avenir trim delivers the ultimate in Buick luxury. Highlights include a 16-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system, 22-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated and massaging front seats, heated second-row outboard seats, and Continuous Damping Control for a refined ride.
The 2025 Buick Enclave is expected to go on sale later this summer. Pricing starts at $45,000 for the Preferred trim and goes up to $58,000 for the Avenir trim.
Conclusion
The redesigned 2025 Buick Enclave is a bold step forward for Buick, showcasing the brand’s commitment to design, technology, and luxury. With its sleek looks, powerful engine, spacious interior, and advanced technology, the new Enclave aims to be a compelling contender in the competitive mid-size SUV segment.
