The first Enclave I ever reviewed was in 2008 and it has been one of my favorites ever since.  Changing it has been a long time coming, but it looks like it was worth the wait.

Buick is introducing the next-generation 2025 Enclave.   The automaker's flagship SUV, which arrives this summer, takes on Buick's new design direction first introduced with the Wildcat EV concept. Notable tech updates include a standard ultrawide diagonal screen. It's also the first-ever Buick to offer GM's Super Cruise hands-free driving technology.

Buick calls the 2025 Enclave its most "premium and technology-focused mid-size SUV yet".  The lineup will launch with three trims: Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir. Buick says the Enclave will offer more premium finishes and amenities.  A best-in-class ultrawide 30-inch-diagonal screen is standard and GM's Super Cruise tech is available across all trims.

“With the launch of our Buick Enclave flagship SUV, our ICE portfolio is now complete with a full lineup of completely refreshed or all-new vehicles,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president, Buick and GMC. “The premium and sculptural design of the Enclave strikes a confident stance on any street, and the thoughtful technologies throughout elevate the driving experience. Coupled with luxury finishes, Enclave sets a new standard for our brand and the segment, it truly is exceptional by design and will help the brand continue our momentum through 2024 and beyond.”

Exterior Design

The three-row 2024 Buick Enclave is longer, wider and taller than the previous generation. Design tweaks include upgrades to the grille, front and rear fascia to align. It also wears Buick's new body-mounted hood badging.
