Used 2023 Buick Enclave SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Buick Enclave is offered in three trims: Essence, Premium and Avenir. All models come with a 3.6-liter V6 engine (310 horsepower, 266 lb-ft) that's paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional on all trims. The Enclave can accommodate seven passengers, with the second row featuring two captain's chairs and a three-seat 60/40-split folding bench in the third row.

Essence
Comes well appointed with feature highlights that include:

  • Proximity keyless entry and push-button start
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Three-zone automatic climate control
  • 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • Wireless smartphone charging
  • Wi-Fi hotspot

Every Enclave also comes with advanced driver aids such as:

  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Enclave back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Safety alert seat (vibrates the driver's seat when a safety warning is triggered)

Premium
Adds a healthy number of features that include:

  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Power-adjustable steering column
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated outboard second-row seats
  • Household-style power outlet
  • 10-speaker Bose audio system
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Enclave and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Avenir
Tops the range with:

  • Sunroof
  • Navigation system
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Enclave and the car in front)

The Avenir trim is also eligible for the Avenir Technology package that includes unique headlights and an adaptive suspension (enhances both ride comfort and handling). Some features are available on supporting trims as options.

Which Enclave trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the Essence trim because of its long list of standard features and more affordable price. If you have a bit of extra money to spend, the Premium trim, one step above Essence, adds some really nice-to-have features, such as ventilated seats, a head-up display and a surround-view camera system.
