2025 Buick Enclave

For 2025, the Enclave trades its old V6 for a new turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (328 horsepower, 326 lb-ft of torque). That's a nice bump in power and about 20% more torque. This should help the new Enclave improve on its 7-second 0-60 mph acceleration from our last test. But more importantly, it should give the Enclave more grunt for low to moderate city speeds and more shove for highway passing. Besides more power, the Enclave gets more screen: a 30-inch widescreen display spans two-thirds of the dash and integrates a digital gauge cluster and infotainment touchscreen. It's an impressive piece of tech, although we've found its curvature shrinks the usable area of Apple CarPlay. Fortunately, the Google-based software can natively run many Apple and Android apps in a full-screen environment.

The Enclave's corporate cousins — the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia — offer a different flavor to the same format. The Traverse interior isn't as snazzy but also costs less, while the GMC is more square-jawed and rugged and can handle some off-road work. The Enclave presents a more affordable alternative to established luxury choices like the Lincoln Aviator and Lexus TX. But against its more closely priced rivals like the Acura MDX, Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride, the Enclave has its work cut out.
