2020 Buick Enclave Review

Name: 2020 Buick Enclave
Brand: Buick

Price Range: $15,500 - $30,784

The 2020 Buick Enclave is a close cousin of the Chevrolet Traverse but slightly dressed up. It's a well-rounded three-row SUV with class-leading power and space, but it's also one of the priciest choices, even if it doesn't appear so from an interior-quality perspective.

While there are certainly more compelling SUVs in this segment, the Enclave is worth a look if you fancy a quiet and comfortable ride that's easy to wheel around town.

Best SUV I’ve driven...now own

2020 Buick Enclave Preferred 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

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 …

Luxury at a decent price

2020 Buick Enclave Avenir 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

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 …

Great car for the price but some features declined

2020 Buick Enclave Essence 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

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 …

Overall the best!

2020 Buick Enclave Essence 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

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.

Safety

Our experts like the Enclave models:

Following Distance Indicator: Uses the radar cruise control system to let the driver know if the Enclave is following the car ahead too closely.
Lane Change and Blind Zone Alert: Alerts drivers of fast-approaching cars in adjacent lanes. Also warns drivers if there's a vehicle in a blind spot.
Safety Alert Seat: Warns the driver of a lane departure or imminent collision by vibrating the seat in the direction of the threat.
