The redesigned 2025 Buick Enclave is a three-row family SUV with a standard 328-hp turbocharged engine, a 30-inch display and a choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Its strongest case is a roomy, technology-rich cabin; its trade-offs include fuel-economy estimates that favor FWD and a top trim priced well above the entry model. IIHS gives a Top Safety Pick+ award only to examples built after January 2025. The Enclave shares a platform family with the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, but the available evidence does not establish that it is a better value than either sibling.

Is the 2025 Buick Enclave a good SUV?

It is a compelling option for families who want three rows, substantial cabin technology and a more upscale trim choice. Buick lists 22.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, expanding to 57.1 cubic feet with that row folded and 97.5 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. Car and Driver measured 41.46 inches of second-row legroom and 32.13 inches in the third row, figures that suggest the back seats are usable for more than occasional short trips. [Buick specifications] [Car and Driver review]

The main strengths are the standard large display, standard wireless smartphone integration, available Super Cruise, and a single turbo engine shared across the lineup. The principal compromises are that AWD carries lower published fuel-economy estimates than FWD, the most luxurious Avenir costs substantially more than Preferred at launch, and independent safety recognition has a build-date condition. The available evidence does not support a direct-test verdict against the Traverse or Acadia.

What is new on the 2025 Buick Enclave?

Buick identifies the 2025 model as the start of a redesigned Enclave generation. The old generation’s powertrain is replaced by a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic. Buick rates it at 328 hp at 5,500 rpm and 326 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. Front-wheel drive is standard by configuration, with all-wheel drive offered. These are manufacturer specifications, not independent performance measurements. [Buick’s 2025 Enclave announcement]

Which 2025 Enclave trim is best?

The right trim depends on whether you prioritize the lowest launch price, styling or added comfort. Buick lists three trims, and each can be configured with FWD or AWD.

Preferred: the entry point

Preferred is the least expensive starting point in the lineup. It includes the standard 30-inch display and wireless phone integration, and Buick lists a 12-speaker Bose audio system for Preferred and Sport Touring. The power package is available on Preferred rather than standard. Choose it if the core cabin technology matters more than premium seat and suspension features.

Car and Driver tested an Avenir FWD and reported 20 mpg observed overall and 23 mpg in its 75-mph highway test. Those are results for that publication’s tested vehicle and procedures, not EPA figures and not a prediction for every Enclave or AWD configuration. It also recorded 0–60 mph in 6.8 seconds for that Avenir FWD. [Car and Driver review]

How much can a 2025 Buick Enclave tow?

Buick lists maximum trailering capacity of up to 5,000 pounds with an available package. That is a maximum, not a guarantee for every configuration or load: passengers and cargo affect capacity, and the vehicle’s specific ratings and owner’s manual govern what it can tow. Verify the equipment and limits of the individual Enclave before towing. [Buick’s 2025 Enclave announcement]

Is the 2025 Buick Enclave safe?

IIHS names the 2025 Enclave a Top Safety Pick+, but the award applies only to vehicles built after January 2025. The IIHS overview lists Good ratings for small overlap front, updated moderate overlap front and updated side crashworthiness tests. Standard vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention and seat-belt reminders are also rated Good; standard pedestrian front crash prevention is rated Acceptable. IIHS notes that some ratings rely on tests conducted by General Motors and applied by IIHS to the Enclave. Confirm the build date and equipment of the specific vehicle when evaluating the award. [IIHS 2025 Buick Enclave ratings]

Should you choose the Enclave over its GM siblings?

The Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia belong to the same platform family, making them natural alternatives to consider. The evidence here does not provide balanced, direct testing or comparable pricing sufficient to declare one the better buy. Compare actual equipped vehicles: total dealer price, seating and cargo needs, available driver-assistance features, and the trim equipment you would otherwise pay for. The Enclave’s own lineup makes the clearest trade-off visible: Preferred emphasizes entry price, Sport Touring adds styling, and Avenir layers in comfort and luxury features.
