The 2025 Buick Enclave Avenir Is A Shockingly Upscale Flagship SUV For Young Families

I'm going to wait two years for the prize of this avenir trim to crash to the mid-30s and then buy one. I need a second SUV. Rule of thumb, never buy an expensive car new. I currently drive a 2022 Genesis GV80 with the advance and prestige packages. The original owner paid $66,800 . I paid $39,500.

[@dtay8913]

Listen, i will commend GM from where they were even just a few years ago with interiors. They no longer sell the same vehicle interior 3 times over. This, the Chevrolet, and GMC all have unique styling but my God. They need to give different powertrain options.

[@JremV]

I think in the Buick and the gmc Denali they need the 2.7 V6 turbo from the CT4 or is that a 3.0L?

[@brandonedgley3131]

Agreed. Explorer is offering 400hp V-6, tell me GM doesn’t have engineers that can accomplish that? Even the 3.0 twin turbo in CT5 would be a better fit. Really disappointed with GM’s push for tiny motors in big vehicles

[@JremV]

@@brandonedgley3131 this makes more power and way more torque but still is slower to 60 by a half to full second compared to the previous enclave. Definitely nailed it tho with the exterior and interior styling

Gorgeous interior, wow!

[@mikelawless2065]

Your outtakes crack me up!! I feel a bit of kinship with you and your truck driving mouth. 😂 On another note, I appreciate that blue trim color interior. Gorgeous.

[@JremV]

I love how these new gm vehicles make more power but yet are slower 0-60. The old enclave was similar weight if not mistaken and had only 310 hp and 270 lb ft or so but it did 60 in high 6s to low 7. Same with the turbo with over 400 lb ft in the canyon is slower but over a second to 60 than the previous generation 3.6, either it doesn’t make all that power or something isn’t adding up. Not that people drive these for acceleration but this is no quicker than a 2011 enclave/traverse with the dual exhaust if I’m correct.

[@sethnapolitano396]

I don't get it, either. It should be at least as quick if not quicker. How & where does the extra 60 lb ft of torque help.

[@JremV]

@@sethnapolitano396also the weight seems to be around the same as well. When GM first came out with their 3.6 v6 in the impala I always thought the numbers were overrated. I think that they are overrating the numbers in these new turbos. I mean even without the 9 speed the extra torque should make up for the loss of one extra gear that was mainly an overdrive gear anyway

[@awkwardsanchez6231]

The 2nd Gen Acadia FWD with the 3.6 was the sleeper. 0-60 in 5.6s-6.0s.

[@shadykrook987]

@@awkwardsanchez6231 the v6 in the traverse acadia and enclave are all much quicker than the new models, the torque helps on the highway w the new models but the off the line power w the v6 and awd shine off a stop

[@HALWG51]

In the 70s and 80s. I What's quintessential GM buyer. Out of college I bought a Chevrolet, then as my career developed I went Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and finally a 1988 Cadillac Sedan Deville. That was the last GM vehicle I owned. The quality went south and prices got crazy. I still think that the price of this Avenir is absurd. I just picked up the 2024 Chevy Traverse Z71. Same power train, space, and many of the features for much, much less. Plus the Z71 is a light off broader.

[@TerrMonster]

It’s the bug attack for me. I love the bloopers. 😂

[@billyarchos]

Always a great review. Love the natural delivery of history of each vehicle you do and the testing. A plus for you. Now a Buick for 63 thousand American dollars?! In Canada that will get up to 80 thousand dollars out the door with taxes. For a Buick ?! A GM 4 cylinder turbo putting out over 300 horsepower and torque is terrifying. That is why the engine sounds horrible when you hit the gas in your review. Anyone remember the Quad 4 in the beretta from Chevy in the 90s? They all broke under any pressure! I had a 91 Chevy beretta and the v6 I had lasted forever. Just put a V6 in it. I will say the interior of the model you drive is nice. And the automatic cruise control gets a lot of praise. But 63 thousand dollars for a Buick ? Just before Covid, the Buick commercials were begging customers to look again with their advertising saying yes it is a Buick lol. After Covid up to 63 thousand dollars? And please, those 3rd row seats are useless. Much like any vehicle this size. This trend of emergency type seats should just go away. On top of no comfort I feel bad for anyone sitting in that third row if God forbid, the vehicle is rear ended. Especially with no rear bumper sticking out to absorb with the design, not only is it not comfortable, passengers will have catastrophic injuries from any mild to moderate rear end impact. But I digress, way way way too much money and so many things that will break for a Buick. Super cruise is great and the interior is nice. Ok great strides for GM but way too greedy price wise. I also like that the roof opens as much as it does. Very cool. I love my Subaru Forrester for the roof. But before I get attacked for being bias. I, in no way would buy the 2025 Subaru. It is also way overpriced and so underpowered it is ridiculous. Put the turbo motor like the outback in it. At least offer the option. Anyways I add that because these high prices for little in return is a trend not just for GM. still at least, until Toyota messes things up for I g Subarus into rav 4 hybrids, at least Subaru entering is fantastic if it fits the niche you want. I would buy this Buick with a v6 that I know would last, take out gimmicks like massaging seats. Then, while taking out things that are not useful and will break anyways, make the Buick affordable. Again an industry wide issue with prices. This Buick Should be 40 thousand American and 50 thousand Canadian. I feel I am being fair here. Now will GM be fair?

[@The.Rogue.Element]

Definitely need a hybrid option!

[@G-Rated]

The design is gorgeous. I think Buick just outclassed Lincoln, Mazda, Infiniti, Lexus, Acura, and Genesis with the futuristic but timeless interior design. It looks like a private jet on the interior and _very_ expensive. The execution is impressive *gm* especially for a vehicle that’s sub $100,000. I love how they were dedicated in giving the higher trim Enclaves a bespoke audio system and the Avenir a unique suspension system compared to the Traverse and Acadia. *gm* refrained from just throwing the 33-inch Cadillac display in the models from Buick and GMC and instead Buick got its own bespoke 30-inch display slotting right below the Cadillac’s entry level display. This was executed perfectly and it’s very exciting for the Buick brand.

[@robertaspinall3035]

I recently bought the ST black with the upgraded 22inch black rims. Black helps blend in those gloss black pieces and looks very, very high-class. Pretty good so far, just a few nit pick issues. The stalk shifter i hate, up for reverse, down for drive. Not intuitive. And because of it, all your other switches are placed on one stalk. Windshield wiper controls are a horrible design, difficult to use while driving. Wouldn't be so bad if Buick had rain sensor wipers in all models. You cant tell in the video, but all models have a large plastic speaker cover in the middle of the dash. Cheap and crappy looking. Doesn't make sense when everything else is nice. Everything else is pretty good, (ride quality, comfort, great design, great screen). P 20:55 rice is competitive, somewhat lower than other luxery brands.
