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

  • Reliability (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Buick generally has a good reputation for reliability, and the Enclave is expected to follow suit. While no vehicle is perfect, major issues are uncommon, and the powertrain is a proven design.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs for the Enclave Essence are fairly average for its class. Parts are readily available, and routine service is straightforward, though premium fuel is recommended, which can add to running costs.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The technology in the Enclave Essence is functional and user-friendly, with a decent infotainment system and standard safety features. However, it doesn't push any boundaries and can feel a bit dated compared to newer rivals offering more advanced displays or innovative features.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Comfort is a strong suit for the Enclave Essence. The seats are plush and supportive, even on long drives, and the cabin is well-insulated from road and wind noise, providing a serene environment for passengers.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The 2023 Buick Enclave Essence offers a smooth and generally comfortable ride, but it lacks the sporty dynamics or engaging handling found in some competitors. It's built for cruising, not carving corners.

2023 Buick Enclave: A Detailed Overview

The 2023 Buick Enclave continues its reign as a sophisticated and spacious three-row SUV, offering a comfortable and quiet ride for families and those who appreciate a more premium experience in the mainstream segment. This year, the Enclave sees minor refinements, building upon its already strong foundation of upscale appointments and versatile utility.

Highlights

The 2023 Buick Enclave distinguishes itself with a compelling blend of performance, safety, and thoughtful amenities:

  • Engine & Performance: Powering the Enclave is a robust 3.6L V6 engine, delivering a healthy 310 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque. This capable engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth gear changes and confident acceleration for highway merging and overtaking. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available as an option for enhanced traction in varied weather conditions.

  • Advanced Safety Features: Buick equips the Enclave with a comprehensive suite of standard and available driver-assistance technologies designed to enhance safety and awareness:

    • Automatic Emergency Braking: This system automatically applies the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a frontal collision when it detects a potential impact.
    • Forward Collision Alert: Provides visual and audible warnings if it detects a potential frontal collision, giving the driver more time to react.
    • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: Helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane by providing gentle steering inputs and alerts the driver if they unintentionally drift out of their lane.
    • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: Warns the driver of approaching vehicles from either side when backing out of a parking space.
    • Blind Spot Alert: Detects vehicles in the driver's blind spots and illuminates a warning light in the side mirror.
    • Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and a selectable following distance from the vehicle ahead, reducing driver fatigue on longer journeys.
    • HD Surround Vision: Utilizes multiple cameras to provide a bird's-eye view of the vehicle's surroundings, greatly assisting with parking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
  • Trim Lineup: The 2023 Enclave is offered in three well-appointed trims, each building upon the previous one to offer increasing levels of luxury and features:

    • Essence: The entry point, the Enclave Essence still offers a premium experience with standard features like a power liftgate, heated front seats, and an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen.
    • Premium: Stepping up to the Premium trim adds a host of desirable upgrades, including perforated leather-appointed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and a Bose® premium audio system.
    • Avenir: As Buick's top-tier trim, the Avenir elevates the Enclave experience with exclusive styling cues, premium materials, advanced features like a panoramic sunroof, adaptive suspension (on AWD models), and unique Avenir badging, signifying the pinnacle of Buick luxury.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Spacious Interior: The Enclave boasts a truly cavernous interior, offering ample legroom and headroom for all three rows. Even the third row is reasonably accommodating for adults on shorter trips, a rarity in this segment.
    • Comfortable Ride: Buick's focus on a quiet and refined driving experience is evident in the Enclave. The suspension is tuned for comfort, absorbing road imperfections effectively, and the cabin is exceptionally well-insulated from road and wind noise.
    • User-Friendly Infotainment: The infotainment system is intuitive and easy to navigate, featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for seamless smartphone connectivity.
    • Generous Cargo Space: With all seats in use, the Enclave offers a respectable amount of cargo space. Folding down the third-row seats reveals an expansive cargo area, and with both the second and third rows folded, the Enclave becomes a veritable cargo hauler.

What to Expect

Owning a 2023 Buick Enclave typically translates to a relaxed and refined ownership experience. You can anticipate a smooth and quiet ride that makes daily commutes and long road trips enjoyable. The cabin's well-crafted materials and comfortable seating create a welcoming atmosphere.

  • Maintenance: Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks, will follow typical SUV schedules. Buick generally offers competitive warranty coverage, and the availability of certified Buick service centers ensures access to trained technicians. While the V6 engine is generally reliable, it's important to adhere to the recommended maintenance intervals to ensure its longevity.

  • Insurance: Insurance costs for the Enclave will vary based on your location, driving history, and chosen coverage. As a larger, premium-positioned SUV with advanced safety features, it may fall into a moderate to higher insurance bracket compared to smaller, less feature-rich vehicles. However, the advanced safety features may contribute to lower premiums with some insurance providers.

Potential Considerations

While the 2023 Buick Enclave offers many strengths, there are a few aspects potential buyers should be aware of:

  • Fuel Economy: The 3.6L V6 engine, while powerful, is not the most fuel-efficient in its class. Expect mileage figures that are competitive with other V6-powered three-row SUVs but may be a consideration for those prioritizing maximum fuel savings.
  • Less Engaging Driving Dynamics: While comfortable, the Enclave's ride is tuned for serenity rather than sporty engagement. Drivers seeking a more dynamic and connected driving experience might find it a bit too softly sprung and may prefer competitors with a more athletic demeanor.
  • Third-Row Comfort for Adults: While the third row is more accommodating than many rivals, it is still best suited for children or adults on shorter journeys. Extended seating for adults in the third row can become cramped.
  • Base Engine Power: While the V6 is capable, some competitors offer turbocharged four-cylinder engines that deliver comparable or even greater torque at lower RPMs, which can sometimes translate to a more responsive feel in city driving.

Overall Summary

The 2023 Buick Enclave remains a compelling choice for buyers seeking a sophisticated, spacious, and comfortable three-row SUV. Its refined ride, quiet cabin, and generous interior space make it an excellent family hauler. The comprehensive suite of standard safety features provides peace of mind, and the well-appointed trims, especially the luxurious Avenir, cater to those who appreciate a premium touch. While fuel economy and a less engaging driving experience are areas to consider, the Enclave's strengths in comfort, utility, and overall upscale feel solidify its position as a strong contender in the competitive three-row SUV market.
