2022 Buick Enclave Essence

The Enclave is Buick's three-row SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander when you need room for the whole family. It drives with a smooth, easy confidence that makes long trips feel effortless, though it's not a sporty handler and that's fine for what it is. The cabin is genuinely spacious, with a third row that fits adults better than most rivals and a quiet ride that keeps conversation easy. Standard tech includes a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a full suite of driver-assistance features across all trims. Standard heated front seats and a power liftgate set the Essence apart from the base trim below it. Its 3.6L V6 makes 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, good for 21 mpg combined.
