2023 Buick Enclave Premium

The 2023 Buick Enclave is a three-row family SUV that slots above the Envision and competes with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. The Enclave accelerates with confidence and stays composed on the highway, though the steering feels light and a bit numb. The ride is quiet and absorbent, making long trips comfortable for all three rows of passengers. Inside, the Enclave offers a roomy cabin with a spacious third row and generous cargo space behind the second row. Standard tech includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a full suite of driver-assistance features. The Premium is the mid-level Enclave, good for anyone who wants the quiet cabin and spacious third row without the Avenir's price premium for extra leather and trim upgrades. Its 3.6L V6 makes a smooth 310 horsepower, and the nine-speed automatic shifts unobtrusively, though at 21 mpg combined you'll visit the pump regularly on a mixed commute. The Premium can be had with all-wheel drive for a couple thousand more, but this front-drive example saves weight and returns a lighter feel at the wheel.
