* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  While generally reliable, some owners have reported minor electrical gremlins or issues with the transmission. It's on par with many competitors in this segment.
• Maintenance (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Routine maintenance costs are typical for a large SUV. Parts and service are readily available through the GM network. Fuel economy is average for its class.
• Technology (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The infotainment system is user-friendly with a responsive touchscreen and good smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto). Available safety features are comprehensive.
• Comfort (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Interior comfort is a strong point, with spacious seating across all three rows and a well-insulated cabin that keeps road noise to a minimum. Materials feel upscale for the class.
• Dynamics (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The Enclave Essence offers a smooth and quiet ride, but it's not particularly engaging to drive. Handling is competent for its size, but don't expect sporty performance.
