There's nothing more intriguing in the automotive industry than when a popular vehicle enters a new generation. New generations allow manufacturers to bring cars up to modern standards—mid-cycle refreshes sometimes fill in the blanks. Still, true leaps in technology or performance are often reserved for traditional generational leaps. Then there are vehicles like the 2025 Buick Enclave, which aims to bring it up to par but also accelerate it beyond what you'll get in most automobiles for the 2025 model year.
Even if you've owned a Buick Enclave, the 2025 Enclave is in a league of its own. The 2025 Enclave is generally one of the most technologically-packed automobiles on the market, and it'll satiate drivers who enjoy when both function and form meet. The result is a premium automobile that you can trust. There are also many reasons why the Buick Enclave is a great vehicle for families, including but not limited to exceptional cargo space, plenty of comfort and entertainment features, and three rows of seats.

The 2025 Enclave features a new powertrain that outperforms last year's model in numerous ways. The 2025 Enclave comes standard with a turbocharged 2.5L I-4 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. With this powertrain upgrade, the 2025 Enclave produces 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque seen on the three trims. The turbocharged engine is also likely to be highly fuel-efficient as a result of the engine being of the turbocharged variety. Performance isn't the only new thing with the 2025 Enclave, as there's a myriad of advancements that have been made within the four walls of the interior.
Within the interior, you're stepping into a design that's years beyond what most people are driving. Compared to many of the vehicles the 2025 Enclave is up against, it's a piece of engineering seemingly out of science fiction with its striking design that features one seamless ultrawide display stretching from your entirely digital instruments to the end of your climate controls. These screens ultimately serve as two separate entities but are linked together in both hardware and software, allowing for a truly stylish design that few manufacturers have even attempted, let alone succeed so well in.
The side that serves as your digital instrument cluster gives you more than enough screen real estate to present your speed, odometer, and fuel tank, with plenty of room to add more metrics onto it, like turn-by-turn navigation. The second half of the screen acts as the vehicle's infotainment center, where you'll navigate your media controls, communication features, and SiriusXM radio, and it also comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Ultimately, the screen is 30 inches diagonally, which makes it larger than any other example on the market for the 2025 model year. Impressively, it all comes standard, along with a wireless charging pad for your phone.
An extensive amount of features lay elsewhere throughout the 2025 Enclave experience. For example, the base Enclave comes with seven camera angles you can switch between, but there's room for a couple more if you spring for the extras. A bonus is that every 2025 Enclave comes with an Auto-Sense power liftgate so you don't need to put any effort into lifting the backdoor of the SUV, and QuietTuning, which is Buick's patented noise-canceling technology, allows every ride to stay quiet and quaint.
For added measure, the base 2024 Enclave and each sequential trim have an array of lights located in the interior that form together to create a personalized and stylish underglow in your interior thanks to ambient lighting with access to all the colors you want. Even the base model gets heated seats for you and your front-row passenger that also serve as power-adjustable chairs featuring 4-way power lumbar support.
The 2025 Enclave has some of the best safety features in its class. Starting with some of the safety features that come standard, you get Blind Zone Steering Assist, which gently nudges your steering wheel to help keep you safe if the Enclave notices you're driving too close to road lines. Traffic Sign Recognition also comes standard, which is a great tool if you are driving on a road you're less familiar with as it will display speed limits and other crucial signages on your digital instrument cluster, and it does so by scanning the road signs using a front-facing camera.
The front-facing camera is one of the standard seven that are built into the standard 2025 Enclave. The rear-view cameras also complement some safety features, and between them, the front-facing camera, and the others, you can view various types of camera angles for your vehicle, including a birds-eye view. A vehicle like the 2025 Enclave needs to have this many cameras in order to help with Buick's innovative hands-free driving system, known as Super Cruise.
Super Cruise is a hands-free driving system that utilizes a network of roads spanning the country that your Enclave will recognize if it's traveling on, allowing you the opportunity to take your hand off the wheel for a bit and enjoy your journey. When you enable Super Cruise, you can take your foot off the pedals, sit back, and let the vehicle intelligently navigate the over 750,000 miles of compatible road—a number that has only increased. Buick's dedication to Super Cruise has been substantial, and the 2025 Enclave is an exceptional example of this newer tech revolutionizing your driving experience.
The 2025 Enclave also comes with Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning. The Lane Departure Warning is an alert system that activates if the Enclave notices you're about to drive over the lane markers to reestablish your attention to the road. Lane Keep Assist is a system in place that provides slight steering input to carefully guide you back into a straight line and not over the lane markings. Each 2025 Enclave also comes with Automatic Crash Response, so if there's ever an accident, you'll be contacted by a live representative to assess the situation, ensure everyone's safety, and send help to your location. Features like the Automatic Crash Response exemplify Buick's dedication to safety.
There are three trim levels for the 2025 Enclave. The base trim is the Preferred, and it's followed by the Sport Touring and Avenir. Like other Buick models, the Avenir is marketed as the most luxurious take of the three. The Sport Touring focuses on providing a more sporty-looking experience, and the base Preferred model is a fantastic place to start, thanks to all the wonderful features that come standard across the board. For example, every Enclave trim has the Auto-Sense power liftgate along with power-adjustable seats, 20-inch tires, Buick's QuietTuning technology, and much more. Even these base models come with a Bose premium sound system with 12 speakers.
With the Sport Touring, you can expect all of the best bits from the 2025 Enclave's Preferred trim to carry over, including the speaker system, tire size, power-adjustable seats, et cetera. But, you also get additions like stylistic badging exclusive to the Sport Touring trim along with an exclusive machine-faced finish to the wheels. Something that's also unshared between it and the other two 2025 Enclave trims is an interior that's specifically designed for the Sport Touring in mind, including a flat-bottom steering wheel to give you more of that professional sports car look and feel.
The 2025 Enclave Avenir lives up to its reputation as a trim name synonymous with quality and luxury. Some of the features that make the other two Enclave trims appealing are expanded upon, with features like the Bose audio system being upgraded for an even more substantial audio solution also provided by Bose, but with four additional speakers, bringing the total to 16.
The 2025 Enclave Avenir also has larger wheels than the two other trims, with 22-inch wheels coming standard. Rainsense wipers are also included with your 2025 Enclave Avenir, so no longer will you have to flick the wipers on and off. When features like the Rainsense wipers work in unison with features like Super Cruise, sometimes the vehicle can truly feel like it's operating itself. When you're driving the car regularly, the Avenir utilizes Continuous Damping Control, so you can expect this trim to provide a genuinely smoother ride than the other trims.
With your 2025 Enclave Avenir, your heated power-adjustable seats that carry over from the other two trims are expanded upon—the seats are upgraded to heated and ventilated chairs with an exclusive massaging element. The second-row seats also become heated with the Avenir. Also, regarding the second row of seats, the 2025 Enclave Avenir has one-touch folding seats, so if you need to lower the seats for extra cargo space, it's at the press of your fingertip. The third-row seats are also easy to lower thanks to power-folding controls. Lastly, the 2025 Enclave Avenir is the only trim to come standard with a Head-Up Display (HUD) that projects lights displaying information like your speedometer directly on the windshield so you don't have to take your eyes off the road.
