This ‘professional’ review cons MPG but I just got a easy 28mpg on a 450 mile trip over mountains to NY ... 310hp .. two people with lots of luggage ... I call that pretty good. I got 23 MPG in a rented new RAV4 last year on same trip. When I hear ‘interior materials’ the red flag goes up that screams .. this reviewer doesn’t know what they are talking about ... I want to hear about galvanized body and stainless steel exhaust ... that’s quality... the Buick Enclave has both. My 14 year old Buick still looked and drove like new.... and I got 3 times ‘book value’. The Enclave rides better than the company car BMW X5 by far... smoother and more quiet. Have taken several 500 mile trips in my new 2020 Enclave ... the ride is extremely smooth and quiet ... the 121” wheelbase and 4300lb weight creates a ride no small SUV can come close to.... This is a true road vehicle ....And I’m getting 28mpg on the road! The 310hp V6 is quick... If you want a roomy ... quiet ... smooth riding road car that gets good mpg ... it’s a Enclave.

VERY quiet ride, loaded with technology that I’m still learning about. I love most every thing about it. I discovered 2 shortcomings that were available in my 2009 Enclave: the shade on the panoramic sunroof over the second row is now manual instead of powered; the front passenger window now does not now have auto up and down. The gear shift is a major departure from what was available in the past. It requires a moderate learning curve. The auto stop feature was active the first couple of days but now does not I’m not complaining, it’s just weird. The adaptive cruise is a blast as well as the lane departure warning and subtle correction. Both features should be standard on all trim levels. I have not tested the other safety features yet. Very satisfied with the car overall. Extremely comfortable and loaded with helpful technology. I’m looking forward to exploring and exploiting the rest of the technology.

Had a 2008 Enclave new. Just bought a 2020 Enclave. Interior items seemed to be diminished somewhat. Rear captains chairs are not as nice. Less standard features this time around. However the engine and transmission is much smoother and better tuned. I got the sport package with 20 inch rims and dark grille. Very nice look and great smooth quiet ride. GM was offering 5 k cash incentive plus other savings. I got it for 10 k off sticker. Could not be happier. 11k miles in and still loving the Enclave. Quiet and smooth ride.

This is my second enclave, the first was damaged by a hit and run driver, I can tell you that this model is a classic road car. If you want smooth, supple, refined, classy, it should be your car. LOVE THIS CAR.

I have 356 miles on this 2020 Enclave as of today it has been in for repair 5 times. All for 3 codes. Flashes a service park brake light then check engine. Then youll get 3 messages steering assist reduced,engine power reduced, service parking brake. So far they have changed a battery, tightened a cable, replaced accelerator,and still after picking it up the 5th time drove approx 1/4 of a mile and yep all 3 came back again. Seems they can't fix the issue and the vehicle is un drivable.

Superior ride, quiet, smooth, excellent power, high quality interior and exterior. Avenir grill was a much needed improvement from the old straight waterfall. All the room you need as well. I traded in an 2015 Acura RDX. Enclave Avenir is by far better value and gas mileage difference is negligible. I tried out a Kia Telluride and several other like SUVs. I honestly don’t understand the hype of the KIA. I’ll take the Avenir. I constantly hear consumer reports talk about cheap looking interior components on GM products. That is a fabrication in my opinion. I currently also own a Toyota RAV4 as a third vehicle. Neither the Acura nor the Rav 4 have any better interior components or fit and finish. DON’T drink that coolaide!

The best description of the ride in the Enclave Avenir is that it glides. Great pickup, excellent braking, easy to understand dash and entertainment center. Luxury appointments all around. It has an abundance of space, heated/cooled seats are comfortable and infinitely adjustable, and the stearing wheel is heated. There is excellent visibility and the abundance of cameras enhance the visibility. The memory seating puts you exactly where you want to be every time. There is also exit assist for the driver's seat. You It is a pleasure to drive.

It is big, quiet, and comfortable. Only negative is the "ideoit stick" transmission lever. Much rather have simple push buttons. It just does everything very well. Gasoline level gage is off by about 2 gallons.

Last year I purchased a new 2020 Buick Enclave Avenir from the dealership. My transmission this September went out and the car only has a little over 13000 miles. It has been over 30 days since it was towed in for repair and I can’t seem to get any updates from the dealership or GM as to when it will be repaired. I originally fell in love with the look of my Enclave and the way it drove. But now I can’t wait to get it fixed so I can trade it. Bottom line…I don’t trust it to not have more issues down the road.
Great decision

I've had this 2020 Enclave Essence for over a week and the experience has been nothing but great so far. I replaced a 2016 Enclave and the improvement in this new version is noticeable. More comfortable ride, very spacious, way more technologically advanced, more gas efficient, more powerful engine. Basically there is nothing relevant I miss from the 2016. The finish and materials used in the interior are very nice and seem even better than some competitor's options I checked before deciding on getting another Enclave. It is too soon to speak about reliability, but I assume it is same or better than the 2016's which in my case was great since I did not have any issue for 4 years and almost 60K miles. If you want an attractive, spacious and comfortable 7-passenger ride, you should consider the Enclave.

Transmission failure after 6k miles

My brother bought a 2020 enclave with 5,000 miles on it. Don't know how that qualifies as new vehicle but he bought it as new. After driving it for a month, my brother and I when to Los Angeles to pick up some family members. on our way back the transmission failed!! Could not drive at all! Very dangerous situation to happen on the freeway!! We were very lucky that we didn't get hit. I truck barely missed us we pulled over to the right. It's been a week in the dealership and the only update is that it's waiting for transmission replacement. Also, my brother called GM for a buy back due the horrible experience his family had. And the lady was really rude and literally yelling at him. Was up with that? I only buy America made cars but after this, not anymore.

My 2020 Buick Enclave now has 20,000 miles on it. It has been back to the selling dealer 3 times for oil changes only. I have not had any issues so far. I have not been real happy with the way the transmission (9 speed) shifts, but can live with it.

Garage door transmitters didn't work properly when brand new. Driver's electronic information system failed on 4th day. Going to dealer for second time next week and expect more repair visits before fixes are made.

Purchased car 202010, now 202107 has 6,800 miles. Overall the Enclave has been great, except for a couple of things. First just had to have the rear rotators ground due to grinding noise and grabbiness felt through the pedal. Seems a little early for that type of thing on a new vehicle, but it is what it is. Second, recently driving and engine powered down, the gauges cycled like when first starting the vehicle and the outside mirrors rotated into parking position. Fortunately got off road and parked. Shut off engine and restarted, everything working fine. So glad I purchased the 10 year extended warranty with all the electronics on this vehicle. No codes appear to have been thrown so will have to see if happens again. Updated 20230804 around 16,000 miles now. No reoccurrence if the earlier issues but the A/C is a little finicky and doesn’t cool as well as my wife’s GMC Acadia. But is more comfortable on longer drives for my larger frame (5’10” 250+). Updated 20240407 A/C still finicky, service unable to find issue. Still a very comfortable car but large for just a retired man and wife.

Gravel Roads?

The door seals, Buick and possibly all other vehicle brands, that are put in to seal up the vehicle are cheap quality and do not keep the dust from gravel roads, or road noise from coming into the vehicle. We have had this problem with our Buick Enclave 2013 we owned and now the Buick Enclave 2020 we have. Cheaper materials, higher prices for the consumer but higher profits for the Buick company and all other vehicle companies that are out for the almighty extra buck they can make. We the consumers are the ones who suffer.

I love my new car, but I have only had it a little over a week. It is so roomy and the ride is quiet. The sound system is very nice and the technology is easy to use. I am getting better gas milage with this car than I got with my last, even though the last car was smaller. The interior is somewhat dark and I would have liked another color for the leather seats. The metallic paint is very nice, a dark red, and is the first thing my friends notice. I have owned Buicks before and this one is the nicest.

What I dislike about the 2020 Premium Enclave.......I do not like the 20 inch wheel that came with the SUV (they are rough riding transmit way too much noise and reduce MPG)......The dash design belongs on the cheapest Chevrolet ever made......the Bose is the worst sounding radio system I have ever had, The color of the car is not worth the premium we paid for it.....and the two rear mirrors do not even match the color......the seats are hard and uncomfortable and the track it moves on is always visible (cheap, cheap) the brakes make a grinding noise when we stop and it was called normal by the Buick Dealership and never fixed even though I showed them a TSB for the brake noise..,the front seats seem narrow and small (I am 5-10 and weigh 160) and if GMs continue to not allow us to check the oil level in the Transmission.....(the dealership will do it and take 3 hours while you wait and who will do that on a trip.....when you used to check it in less than a minute) That in itself will cause me to look elsewhere.....Buick you need to start taking care of your customers instead of telling us to see the Dealer, they do not represent you very well at all. I have more to say but that is enough ......Oh and I have a rumbling from the front as I drive down the road.... <br>

My wife and I purchased a 2020 Buick Enclave ST AWD new. In the last 4+ years we have driven it over 180K miles. It has been a fantastic, comfortable, quite and surprisingly fuel efficient road tripper and commuter vehicle. It has plenty of room for 5 adults and all our luggage. On multiple road trips we have have averaged nearly 30 MPG providing up to 600 miles of range on a single tank. The vehicle has been very reliable with replacing the alternator well past 100K miles being the only repair other than regular scheduled maintenance and the vehicle gave us a warning light before it caused us to be stranded anywhere. We are currently looking to replace it and are seriously considering another Buick Enclave based on our experience with this one.

The auto stop/start is extremely jolting; it feels like the car is stalling. Apple Car Play and audio in general cause constant problems. Accelerating power is very poor, and automatic transmission does not shift properly

Love my 2020 Buick Enclave Avenir — EXCEPT for the annoying differential lag and clunk. Dealer had it for a week. Diagnosis: Kinda the same as other GM models…hard to believe. Too much money sunk in that I will never get out of it, so I’ll keep it, put up with it and hope it breaks before the extended warranty I bought is up. BTW it was a GM Certified pre-owned

This is the 3rd Buick I own, and it is the 6th Buick in the family. I must share that out of the 6 cars, none has given any problems at all. This Enclave is not a disappointment, rather a pleasure. This car drives smoothly as expected from the brand. And the new transmission on these cars, makes it even smoother. The cabin is very quiet and the materials are all soft to the touch. All of these makes it have a Premium feel to it. I am now living overseas, and I had this car brought here because Buick is not sold in the country. I did my research and luckily many parts from the Acadia and Traverse fit this car. Thanks God for the internet as I can order everything online if required. I am sure, thanks to this car, that Buick will be my next vehicle again.
