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.

Is Avenir worth it?

2021 Buick Enclave Avenir 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

(Sep 2022) In Aug 2021 I traded a 2017 Enclave Premium for a 2021 Enclave Avenir. The 2017 was a fine car but I am pushing 70 and I wanted the safety features (cameras) of the Avenir. I should've bought the Avenir model the first time but I didn't know what I was missing. I'm a bang-for-the-buck shopper. The 2017 was on sale and now so was the 2021. I never see a foreign-built new car marked down by $10,000 or $12,000 but GM does. The other cars that I was interested in were new to the market, in high demand, and at full MSRP plus a premium. Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Nissan Pathfinder, KIA Telluride, etc were absent from the lots -- but Buick had cars and deals. So now I've had 13 months and 12,000 miles to drive the Avenir (I don't like to do reviews right off the sales lot). I took it on a 6,700 mile road trip. I traded from a black exterior to white. No real changes in interior/exterior other than more comfortable front seating (maybe GM improved the plumbing for the air conditioned seats) and a built-in phone charger. I gained the camera rearview mirror as well as front and side and trailer hitch cameras. The suspension is smoother and quieter with the magnetic shocks and there is a sport mode added to the tour and trailer modes. Gas mileage is 24-26/highway and 17-19/city. It's a big car but it doesn't feel that big. (I tested the updated 2022 Buick Envision Avenir-- nice, but a lot less car for the same price.) The lane-keeping assist works well without being as pushy as the 2017 model. Enclaves still have the flimsy, manually retractable sunroof shade. Since I rarely open the sunroof, it doesn't matter anymore. I would have liked AWD but GM doesn't seem to ship very many AWD equipped cars to the sunbelt.

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.
