The 2025 Buick Enclave Avenir Is A More Captivating 3-Row Premium Family SUV

The #Buick brand began a massive shift to becoming an SUV only portfolio with the introduction of the #BuickEnclave back in 2007. For 2025, the #Enclave is moving to a 3rd generation and just like its platform-mate from Chevy and GMC, it gets more power and better efficiency under the hood courtesy of a new 2.5L Turbo engine and much improved technology, especially in this luxury oriented #EnclaveAvenir trim level. This redesigned model goes on sale later this summer.

Note to automakers: MORE BLUE INTERIORS! I absolutely love this interior color combo. I also agree with folks who've said a PHEV drivetrain would be interesting here. Either way, GM seems to have done a great job with the Traverse, Acadia, and Enclave. They've come a looooooong way from the sad days of badge engineering.

[@jeffs6090]

I do like the blue, but it would be better with a darker brown. That cream color will not last past 6 months before it looks very dirty.

[@VetteZ06]

@@jeffs6090 I guess I like the contrast with the lighter color, but I agree it gets dirty fast. My mom had a Range Rover back in the day and her jeans stained the almond-colored driver’s seat very quickly.

4 years ago I was selling Buick, GMC and Cadillacs at a dealership. We couldn't give Buicks away although they were good cars. If we had a customer that was interested in a Buick, we'd cut them a fantastic deal. This new generation should sell well....if people can get past the stereotype of Buick as an old person car

[@kimhamm8631]

It's not a stereotype. It's fact. I was going to get a 24 Enclave this year. There's a lot of Enclaves around my state but 80% of them are driven by old people. I've been driving a minivan for 24 years and have always felt old in it. Last thing I want is another vehicle now driven by mostly seniors. I love the new design so I'm really hoping younger crowds find it enticing but I'm not going to hold my breath.

It’s going to be hard to choose between the Traverse, Acadia, Enclave and all electric VISTIQ. They all look amazing! 🤩

The MDX is the best looking and sportier than all suvs in that category , how do you compare a Chevy to a Toyota or Honda product . Even Mazda interior and style is above Buick

[@G-Rated]

@@fz094ever4 Who told you Mazda was above Buick? I can easily compare Chevy with cheaply built Honda and Toyota products. There are several segments where the Chevrolet/GMC is the more premium offering OVER the Honda or Toyota.

[@jeffs6090]

Agree! Though a vehicle of this size should have 60+ miles of EV only range with a phev. Many others of this size are getting that because larger batteries can fit in them. 40+ miles of range is what vehicles like the Rav4 and NX get.

Great preview. So it looks like the traverse and enclave share the interior style. So then the caddy refresh will likely mimic the Acadia and the portrait style display

I'm thinking the Caddy version will probably get the screen from the Lyriq - for brand identity, ya know? Or maybe they will go all in and give it a huge screen like the electric Escalade IQ. That might be a bit excessive though.

[@ramennoodlz]

@@naveenthemachineoutclasses them in what? Being outdated? 💀

[@naveenthemachine]

@@ramennoodlz no The xt6 looks far more attractive than either the RX or tx. Unlike a bmw m3 or XM, styling is not subjective as it doesn’t make up for it in every other way. The xt6 has a nicer interior than the RX and tx. And it has premium materials to back it up. For example the xt6 has leather doors leather airbag cover and a leather dashboard and lots of wood trim. You don’t even find these in an RX or tx at any price. And no RX or tx has super cruise or even a torque vectoring AWD system And the xt6 with the v6 for $52K has far better performance for the dollar. The base TX is not only the same price as an xt6 v6, but it’s significantly slower. You have to get the 500h to get the same performance as the v6 xt6. But you’re gonna pay at least $15-20K more for that comparably performing TX. And if you just want a v6 engine, the xt6 will be significantly cheaper than the tx since you have to spend over 80K on the 550h+ just to get the Camrys v6 engine. As for the RX, similar story. I believe the xt6 with the turbo is faster than the base rx350. The 350h is still slow but more expensive. To achieve the same performance of the v6 xt6, you have to step up to the 450h+, which starts at over $70K yet you only get 300hp, a noisy 4 cylinder, a CVT, less capable AWD, and no 3rd row. The 500h is slightly faster than the xt6 but you’re still going to pay significantly more over $70K

[@chudson4500]

[@djplonghead5403]

The back is fantastic! Hope to see Amber turn signals... The front is OK. The older model Buicks have a 3D daytime light which is the coolest I have seen yet. Some nice interior colors would be, well, nice. GM vehicles from the early 90's have so much color. This car is a step in the right direction but a blue headliner would be been cool. My biggest negative is how small the 3rd row window is. You should never have to ask if a Buick is a good car. Buick should be the brand where you ALWAYS get above-average quality, looks, etc. It should have Cadillac features- just not as showy. They should always be reliable. Always have good power. Always have good comfort. Always have good safety features. Always be good cars. Always have reasonable MPGs. No matter the year or model, they should be good cars.
