Are you looking for a family-friendly SUV with plenty of cargo space and comfortable seating? The 2023 Buick Enclave may be just right for you. This three-row SUV can sit up to seven people and is powered by a strong V-6 engine. Here's a rundown of some of the key features you should know about.

Engine and Performance

 

This mid-sized SUV is powered by a potent 3.6-liter V-6 engine that's capable of churning out 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. Power is transferred to the engine by a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard, but you can upgrade to all-wheel drive if desired in most trims. With all-wheel drive and some other additional features, the Enclave has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.

In its standard setup, the Enclave averages 18 mpg on city roads and 25 mpg on the highway. With all-wheel drive, these numbers drop slightly to 17 mpg and 25 mpg respectively.

Seating and Cargo

The Enclave can seat seven in its three rows, which include captain's chairs in the second row. There's plenty of legroom and headroom available throughout the cabin, allowing adult passengers to sit wherever they like. If you need to install child car seating, there are two complete sets of Latch connectors in the second row and tether anchors for all three third-row seats.

Cloth upholstery is standard, together with heated front seats. You can upgrade to leather upholstery, heated second-row seats, and a heated steering wheel for a touch more luxury.

The Enclave's cargo capacity is among the roomiest in the mid-sized SUV class. There's 23.6 cubic feet of storage behind the third row, 58 cubic feet with the third row folded down, and 97.6 cubic feet with both rear rows folded flat. Another useful feature is that the third row has a 60-40 folding mechanism, meaning you can still use one of the seats back there while boosting your cargo storage a bit.

Infotainment and Technology

The Enclave provides a vast array of connectivity options in its standard infotainment setup. These include six USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

Users praise the infotainment system for being easy to use and not as cluttered as some rivals. The standard touch screen measures 8 inches across and is paired with a six-speaker stereo. The Enclave's wireless hot spot will also help keep everyone online and up to date while you're on the road. If you want to upgrade your infotainment system, you can add a 10-speaker premium stereo, a navigation system, and wireless device charging.

Other useful standard technology features in the Enclave include remote start and proximity keyless entry, which always comes in handy if you're trying to unlock your vehicle with your hands full after running errands.

Driver Assistance

The Enclave comes standard with rear parking sensors. This will make it a lot easier for you to maneuver this mid-sized SUV into tight parking spots in Washington, DC, or anywhere else you're driving to.

There's also a long list of optional assistance features you can add, including adaptive cruise control, front collision warning, and lane-keep assist. If you want a little more help with parking, Buick offers a surround-view parking system so you can keep an eye on your vehicle from all angles. You can also add enhanced automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection to help you stay safe on the road.

The Enclave scored well in safety tests performed by major testing agencies for 2023. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it top overall marks of five out of five stars for its safety tests, while the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety gave this SUV its highest grade in all five crash tests.

Trims and Pricing

There are four trim levels available with the Buick Enclave in 2023: Preferred, Essence, Premium, and Avenir. Although the same engine is available throughout the lineup, you'll need to opt for at least the Essence trim in order to get the option of upgrading to all-wheel drive, which costs an extra $2,000.

The Preferred trim has a starting retail price of $41,195. On top of cloth upholstery and heated front seats, it features power-adjustable driver's and front passenger's seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a hands-free liftgate. For an additional $2,000, you can upgrade to the Essence, which retails at $43,195. This trim adds leather upholstery to the first two rows, satellite radio, and rear cross-traffic alert. You can also choose from various upgrade packages, such as a rear-seat infotainment system for $1,795, or a 10-speaker stereo and a navigation system for $1,395.

The Premium trim has a starting retail price of $49,595. It gets the premium stereo as standard and also features heated second-row seats, ventilated front seats, and an automatically folding third row. Memory settings for the driver's seat are also included. If you'd like to add some additional style to your Enclave, you can opt for a panoramic moonroof and 20-inch alloy wheels for an additional $3,095. This package also includes the navigation system.

The Avenir is Buick's top-of-the-range trim for the Enclave in 2023. It retails at $54,995. It comes with a wood-trimmed steering wheel and an 8-inch driver display. If you want to add all-wheel drive, it costs an extra $200. Other upgrade options include retuned suspension and chassis.
