Drives and rides amazingly great! Like riding on a cloud. Zero wind noise. Plenty of great features. Love the European look and feel. Has a huge touch screen on the dash. Love information shown on the windshield while driving. Very comfortable seats. Plenty of pep.

Impressed with the 2025 Enclave Avenir

Very pleasantly impressed with the redesigned 2025 Enclave. This is our family car (wife drives) with 2 kids in car seats, and a large dog at times. We regularly use 1 of the 3rd row seats for an occasional grandparent or family member, and it is comfortable enough on shorter drives for a full sized adult! The car seat tilt feature for the second row seats is a feature I don’t think we could ever go without now. Previously we had a Cadillac Escalade ESV, and a Cadillac XT6. For nearly $35,000 less, this is as comfortable and nearly as luxurious. Granted there are a few more plastic materials, but the touch surfaces feel premium nearly everywhere. The large screen takes some getting used to, and I will admit even as fairly young and techy people, I did have to google how to change some settings and use some features (why is the home link menu so hidden!). Once you get over the learning curve, it’s great! The turbo 4 is my only complaint. We are getting a solid 27mpg on the highway, in 2wd mode. HOWEVER… the engine noise is borderline raucous. You get used to it, but coming from a smooth V8 or a naturally aspirated V6, you will hear the difference immediately. The power is satisfactory for a family car, no issue other than a slight turbo delay. But the 4 banger definitely reminds you every day, that it is indeed there. The Enclave is very quiet at highway speeds, which may be why the engine noise in the cabin is so noticeable. There is minimal road and wind noise, decent Bose sound system, smooth and floaty suspension around town and on highway. Excellent trunk space, even with 3rd row up! (That was the biggest selling point for us). At nearly 207 inches, this is a large and long vehicle, though it doesn’t look it - be aware, if you have a small standard sized garage like us, it is a tight fit! My last thought to GM would be to PLEASE offer a 2nd row bench seat option!!!

3195 miles and engine needs to be replaced

Low oil pressure light came on. Immediately pulled off road and had car towed to nearest dealership. Onstar chose a dealership that was actually further from the breakdown point and 3 hours from my house rather than 1 hour from my house. Engine needs to be replaced but is on back-order. So many restrictions on travel reimbursement that I don't expect to ever get reimbursed and they won't reimburse until the repair is completed which could be months.
Top-tier midsize luxury SUV

Has all the bells and whistles you could want and need. A little loud on the engine but with the music playing mid level, it drowns it out. The ride is smooth and the noise from the road is minimal to non-existent. Has a beautiful front and rear design and as a previous first generation Enclave owner, I welcome the new boxier and more masculine design of this vehicle.

I bought a 2025 Buick Avenir - beautiful car, great technology. It stopped in the middle of the road - exactly 14 days after purchase - there was a leak between the transmission and engine. I’m on 8 days of my brand new (less than 800 miles!) enclave being repaired. Supposedly a gasket was not installed during assembly. Approach with caution should you chose to buy.

1 day and 75 miles after buying a 2025 Buick Enclave, it broke down on the highway! The transmission blew out. The dealership replaced the car entirely. I am currently waiting on the replacement car, also a 2025 Enclave, to be repaired. I have had the 2nd car less than 1 month and the Master Cylinder went out. This controls the brakes! I haven’t even made my first payment or received license plates. Very scary and very disappointing!
very nice vehicle

I liked just about everything that the Enclave had to offer. Very quiet and rode very good. Only negative was the passenger window did not roll up automatically,

I test drove the enclave multiple times but I couldn’t get over how unrefined the engine felt. Whole the vehicle had good quality trim, I hated how everything was embedded in the infotainment. Also ridiculous how small the rear camera and CarPlay appeared on the screen. The tech is overwhelming and I consider myself to be tech savvy. Otherwise a great looking car with loads of space

We went with the Preferred model because it checked all of our boxes, and we just couldn’t justify spending more on the top tier when the entry level offered the same safety features and infotainment system across the board. Plus, you can add different packages which makes it even better! I was a minivan Odyssey mom for many years, but it was time for something new. My kids absolutely love this car. They bring their tablets and we bought portable dvd players for longer trips and we’re good to go!! It rides like a dream and the Bose speakers sound amazing. We test drove the most popular people movers, some more expensive and some less expensive, but we all knew this was the one the second we got in it and took it for a drive.

Thought You Were My Dream Car

So, I bought the 2025 Buick Enclave on August 3rd. I returned it to the dealer to be repaired on Wednesday, August 13th. Yep, just 10 days later. I did notice at first that what I thought was a touchy accelerator was actually the transmission acting up. It would sort of do a stutter when shifting. Then after having it home for about 5 days I found fluid leaking all over my driveway. Very upset. I took it back to have them fix this problem. Come to find out, it is a known issue with GM to have produced a number of vehicles with this (transmission) problem. and not just the Enclave but some of the Chevys as well. Gee, I haven't even made my first payment yet. And it's sitting in the shop! On the upside, it is roomy. It is pretty. But has left me wondering if they didn't put lipstick on a pig!

Break Failure

With only 4400 miles the break module failed. Lost breaks. This could have had a tragic ending. Dealer has had the car for 4 weeks and still don’t have an answer when the car will be repaired. I have a claim in with GM which is a joke in itself.
