2020 Buick Enclave Trims Comparison

2020 Enclave trim level differences

The 2020 Buick Enclave is available in four trims: Preferred, Essence, Premium and Avenir. All use the same 3.6-liter V6 engine (310 horsepower, 266 lb-ft) and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Preferred is only available with front-wheel drive. The remaining trims are available in front- or all-wheel drive.

Even the base Preferred trim comes with luxury-like touches, including LED headlights, rear parking sensors, heated front seats, and 60/40-split folding third-row seats. In-car tech includes an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connections, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Moving up to the Essence adds basic safety features, an enhanced cabin air filter and leather upholstery. Several options are also available, including all-wheel drive, a towing package rated for up to 5,000 pounds, a sunroof, and a bird's-eye camera parking system.

Premium models add more safety features, such as automatic emergency braking and the innovative GM Safety Alert Seat, as well as front parking sensors, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a 10-speaker Bose sound system.

Avenir models take the Enclave to its threshold of luxury with 20-inch wheels, a sunroof, premium leather upholstery, and a navigation system among several other items. Options include an adjustable suspension and adaptive cruise control.

Which 2020 Enclave trim does Edmunds recommend?

Among the four trim levels, the midgrade Essence delivers the most bang for the buck. It comes with excellent standard in-car technology and adds leather seating and driver assist functions to make for safer driving on the highway and in the city.
