Which Enclave does Edmunds recommend?
Edmunds' Expert Review
Overall rating
The 2019 Buick Enclave carries over from the redesigned 2018 model with only minor trim and options updates, and that's a good thing. We like the Enclave's long list of standard features and its high level of in-car technology. You can choose from either front- or all-wheel-drive versions of all trims, except for the new front-wheel-drive-only Preferred.
Whichever version you get, know that you'll have a quiet and comfortable cabin that can seat up to seven passengers. The Enclave is one of the biggest SUVs in its class, in fact, and seat comfort and roominess are two of its strong points. Folding down both the second- and third-row seats provides up to 97.6 cubic feet of cargo space.
Equally big is the Enclave's corporate sibling, the Chevrolet Traverse. Besides styling, the main reason to get the Enclave is its considerably higher number of standard features. Even the base Enclave comes with keyless entry and push-button start, a hands-free liftgate, and excellent standard infotainment technology that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.
The Enclave doesn't have the road-hugging chops like some of its European rivals, and it's not the least expensive in the segment. But if a comfortable highway ride, a roomy interior and getting lots of features are priorities, take a look at the 2019 Buick Enclave.
2019 Buick Enclave configurations
The 2019 Buick Enclave is available in four trims. They all use the same 3.6-liter V6 engine (302 horsepower, 260 pound-feet) and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Preferred is available only in front-wheel drive; the remaining trims are available in front- or all-wheel drive. The Essence features additional safety and comfort tech, while the Premium trim adds more luxury and safety amenities. At the top, the Avenir promises tech, safety and comfort features on par with what's offered in the best luxury crossovers. All Enclaves have seating for seven.
Even in base Preferred trim, the Enclave comes with features that make it competitive in the three-row SUV segment. It comes standard with 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, rear parking sensors, keyless entry and ignition, remote engine start, three-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats with heating, adjustable second-row captain's chairs, and 60/40-split folding third-row seats. Standard in-car technology includes an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, OnStar communications (with 4G LTE and a Wi-Fi hotspot), USB ports (two in front and four for rear passengers), and a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio.
The Essence includes a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert, a cabin air ionization system and leather seating surfaces. Optionally, you can add all-wheel drive, a heavy-duty tow package that allows you to pull up to 5,000 pounds, a top-down parking camera system, and a sunroof.
Premium models add low-speed forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, front parking sensors, driver-seat memory settings, a 10-speaker premium Bose sound system, lane departure warning and intervention, a heated steering wheel, heated seats for outboard second-row passengers, ventilated seats for the front row, and power-folding third-row seats.
Top-trim Avenir models roll on 20-inch wheels and receive a navigation system (optional on the Essence and the Premium), a larger driver information display, a rearview mirror with integrated camera display, a sunroof, a top-down parking camera system, premium leather upholstery, upgraded interior trim, and a wireless device charging pad. Optionally, you can spec your Avenir with the Avenir Technology package that adds adaptive cruise control, upgraded automatic emergency braking and an adaptive suspension.

Buick Enclave vs. the competition
2019 Buick Enclave
2019 Chevrolet Traverse
Buick Enclave vs. Chevrolet Traverse
Both Enclave and Traverse share the same bones, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that they use virtually the same powertrain and have excellent interior roominess. The Enclave features exterior styling that's more subdued and a notch above the Traverse, with a classier interior design to match. From a value standpoint, though, the Traverse gets you almost all the same features for a lower cost.
Buick Enclave vs. Honda Pilot
The Enclave has a bit more power and a lot more interior space than the Pilot. But when it comes to seating, the Pilot one-ups the Enclave with seating for eight versus the Buick's seven. The Pilot also handles twists and turns a little better, though the Enclave's plush ride and quiet interior invite long trips. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Honda Pilot.
Buick Enclave vs. Buick Encore
The Encore's small size makes it a better pick for dense urban environments. The Enclave's roomy three rows of seating and ample trunk space entice passengers to stretch out. The Enclave is a lot more expensive than the Encore, but you're getting a lot more capability, too.

See your car's valueThe 2019 Buick Enclave is a seven-seat crossover that's available in four trims and in either front- or all-wheel drive. The 2019 model aims to liven up the Enclave's image, using technology and design to differentiate it from the previous generation.
Buick is hoping to set its SUV apart from the competition by offering more features and capability at a given price point. The front-wheel-drive-only Enclave base model, the Preferred, comes with smartphone integration and a flexible seating system thanks to 60/40-split third-row seating and adjustable and foldable second-row captain's chairs. All seating positions are wrapped in cloth to start, and the driver and front passenger benefit from power-adjustable and heated seats. All Enclaves have a V6 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission, as well as active noise canceling in the cabin, three-zone automatic climate control and LED exterior lights.
The Essence model adds more safety and luxury appointments. Blind-spot monitoring and lane change assist are added to the safety equipment, and air ionization filtration is standard. Seating surfaces are now leather.
Premium models benefit from additional safety and luxury items as well. Standard features include driver-position memory settings, low-speed forward automatic braking, and a following distance indicator, which shows you how far you are from the car in front. The infotainment system remains the same. But HD radio is added, and the standard speakers are swapped out for a Bose 10-speaker system.
Buick's top-trim model, the Avenir, adds wood trim, 20-inch wheels, a sunroof, and navigation. It also swaps out the standard rearview mirror for a camera display system. Optionally, the Avenir Tech package adds adaptive cruise control and a dynamically adjustable suspension for an even smoother ride.
Overall, the 2019 Buick Enclave promises to deliver a pleasing number of tech and luxury features, all wrapped in Buick's stately but conservative styling. Its interior design is clean, and interior space should rank high in the class. No matter which trim level interests you, let Edmunds help you decide the right Buick Enclave for you.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Buick Enclave?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
