2026 Buick Enclave Trims Comparison

Which 2026 Enclave trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the entry-level Preferred trim. There's very little "base trim" about it, with features typically reserved for upper trim levels included (20-inch wheels, second-row captain's chairs, wireless phone charging, a premium audio system). And paying about $2,500 more for the midlevel Sport Touring's black accents doesn't make a lot of sense to us. Even the top Avenir trim's wealth of extra equipment doesn't vault the Enclave into the realm of luxury vehicle status, as its price tag suggests.

2026 Enclave trim level differences

The 2026 Buick Enclave is a three-row SUV that seats seven, and it's offered in three trim levels: Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir. A 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (328 horsepower, 326 lb-ft of torque) pairs with an eight-speed transmission and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is optional for all trims.

Preferred
This "base" trim level comes very well equipped with a list of features you'd usually see in a luxury-branded vehicle. These include:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Hands-free power tailgate
  • Three-zone climate control
  • Power front seats
  • Second-row captain's chairs
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats and steering wheel
  • 30-inch integrated instrument panel and infotainment display
  • Google integration with Google Maps and Assistant
  • Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
  • Wireless phone charger
  • USB ports in all rows
  • Integrated Wi-Fi
  • 12-speaker Bose audio system

The Enclave also comes standard with a full menu of driver assistance features. These include:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • 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)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Enclave back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Intersection collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision during a left turn and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Enclave and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Enclave and the car in front)

Sport Touring
The Sport Touring differs only from the Preferred trim with these appearance upgrades:

  • Black grille surround and inserts
  • Black-painted wheels
  • Flat-bottom steering wheel
  • Sport Touring-specific interior trim pieces

The Preferred and Sport Touring can be optioned with the Power package, which includes:

  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Digital rearview mirror function (allows you to see out of the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • One-touch fold-flat second-row seats
  • Power-folding third row
  • Heated windshield wipers
  • 110-volt power outlet

Avenir
This is the most luxurious Enclave trim level. It includes the Power package content plus:

  • 22-inch wheels
  • Adaptive suspension
  • Panoramic sunroof (optional on other trims)
  • Automatic wipers
  • Power-adjustable (round bottom) steering wheel
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Ventilated and massaging front seats
  • Heated second-row seats
  • 16-speaker Bose audio system
  • Upgraded ambient lighting

Available on every Enclave is Super Cruise, the hands-free driving assist system, as well as a towing package that increases maximum towing capacity to 5,000 pounds.
