What's New
The 2023 Buick Enclave luxury SUV receives no significant changes from its update last year.
Choosing Your Buick Enclave
The 2023 Enclave is offered in three trims, Essence, Premium, and Avenir, and its starting prices range from $44,395 to $56,695.
Engine Choices
All 2023 Enclave luxury crossover models are equipped with a 3.6-liter naturally-aspirated V6 that generates 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed through a nine-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels with an all-wheel-drive system available for $2,000.
The front-wheel-drive Enclave earns an EPA-estimated 18 miles per gallon city, 26 mpg highway, and 21 combined while the AWD powertrain costs it just one MPG point across the board.
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The 2023 Enclave stretches to 204.8 inches which is noticeably longer than nearly everything in the class and its width of 78.7 inches is also on the large side. That makes for a roomy interior that can fit seven and provide 33.5 inches of legroom in the third row and 23.6 cubic feet of space in the back. With the third row folded, the cargo room expands to 57.7 cubic feet, and 97.4 cubic feet with both rear rows folded.
The Enclave can tow 5,000 pounds when equipped with the $650 Trailering Package.
Safety Features
All 2023 Enclave trims feature automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic monitoring, automatic high beams, front and rear parking assist, and Buick’s safety (buzzing) seat.
The Essence trim offers the Technology Package for $1,450 that adds adaptive cruise control (with enhanced automatic emergency braking), a rear camera mirror, HD surround view, and rear pedestrian detection. The Premium trim includes the features of the Technology Package except for the adaptive cruise control which is offered through the Adaptive Cruise and Wheel Package for $1,995. The Avenir trim includes adaptive cruise control as standard.
The Enclave earns Good and Acceptable crashworthiness scores from IIHS and has not yet been rated by NHTSA.
Connectivity
The 2023 Enclave includes an eight-inch touchscreen display and features wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, SiriusXM, HD Radio, USB and aux inputs, and Bluetooth. Wi-Fi and remote connected services are also included while a wireless charging pad and multiple USB ports in each row handle charging duties.
The Sites and Sound Package ($1,555) adds navigation, a Bose 10-speaker sound system, and an AC outlet for the second row although it requires the Technology Package to also be selected. The features of the Sites and Sound Package are included in the Essence and Avenir trims.

The added safety technology, audio equipment, and luxurious features of the Premium trim require a step-up in price but keep the Buick differentiated from the mainstream crossover crowd.
