People have long viewed the Buick Enclave as one of the most luxurious sport utility vehicles on the American market. Its features and options are impressive, but its interior is where the real luxury is. Let’s take a peek inside and see what the 2023 version of this incredible SUV has to offer in the cabin area.

General Interior Design and Measurements

The 2023 edition of the Buick Enclave merges extraordinary comfort with user-friendly and ergonomic feature placement. The infotainment system and GPS unit are centered high up on the console, while the primary radio controls are centered under the infotainment system. The heating and air controls are offset toward the driver, as is the gear shifter setup. The shifter setup is atypical compared with most vehicles in and out of the Enclave’s class. It features a multi-button interface instead of the traditional knob shifter.

A handy wood grain surfaced storage compartment is set into the console just to the right of the shifter buttons. The driver’s instrument cluster is an interesting fusion of classic and digital formats, featuring five standard gauges with a digital speedometer counter in the center of the central gauge. The steering wheel includes buttons for cruise control and infotainment, so drivers can keep their eyes on the road as they change settings. The interior is available in tan or black. This Enclave seats seven comfortably.

The captain’s chairs in the first row feature easy-to-adjust headrests. Just press the button on the right side of the headrest to unlock and alter their height as needed. The upholstery on the front- and second-row captain’s chairs is luxuriantly textured, with an available distinctive diamond pattern in the mid back, lower back, and center and rear seat zones. The rest of the upholstery is incredibly smooth.

Gone are the days when entry through the rear doors was a tight fit. The central row of seating has an impressive 38.9 inches of legroom. The front row offers 41.2 inches of legroom, while you’ll have 33.5 inches of space in the rear bench seat. Front headroom measures 42.6 inches, and rear headroom measures 39.8 inches, so no one will be too close to the cabin roof in their seats.

The rear bench seat and second-row pilot’s chairs fold down flat to grant an incredible 97 cubic feet of storage space. The 2023 Buick Enclave can carry between 1,475 and 1,801 pounds of cargo, depending on its drivetrain and performance loadout. This is particularly impressive given it’s rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. The main console has a sharp-looking wide V-shape that flows naturally from the radio controls to the air vents on either side.
