our expert's take

What Is the 2019 Buick Enclave?

The 2019 Enclave is a premium three-row SUV with room for up to seven occupants. It has a 310-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 engine that works with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Both front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available. Competitors include the Acura MDX and Infiniti QX60.

What's New on the 2019 Buick Enclave?

The Enclave is now available in a front-wheel-drive Preferred trim level, and an automatic heated steering wheel is standard on the Premium and Avenir trims.

How Does the 2019 Buick Enclave Compare to Other Three-row SUVs?

Buick tries to stand out by being more premium than mainstream SUVs but without the prices of high-end luxury brands. Its interior space is a match for any competitor in the class. Third-row space, seating position and overall comfort win out over the Acura MDX and Infiniti QX60.

What Features in the 2019 Buick Enclave Are Most Important?

Second-row SmartSlide seats give easy access to the third row, and a rear-seat reminder is designed to help you avoid forgetting anything in the backseat. An available rear camera mirror and a 360-degree camera system ensure optimal visibility, while a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot comes standard to keep you connected on the road (data trial included).

Should I Buy the 2019 Buick Enclave?

If you’re a big family with a lot of cargo to haul but are willing to miss some of the luxury that comes with a high-end SUV, the Enclave might be a good fit. If you’re looking for an especially elegant design, another luxury SUV may be more appealing.

  • Very disappointed

    I use to own a 2014, loved it. So in 2017 bought a 2018...very disappointed. I have something to compare with and I feel Buick took 2 steps back from my 2014 to my 2018. I miss the interior of my 2014 which looked better, especially the blue light that went around the front of the dashboard. The interior now feels and looks cheap, dash & console. My console now has a spot/stain from sanitizer dropping on it. Crap. I hate everything about the interior. Something is wrong with the software too. With my 2014, I had trouble with that as soon as I drove off the lot with it. It took months of appointments to get that straightened out which finally was corrected when some specialist drove in to fix. After that no problem. Now with my 2018 I have problems with back tailgate door. It's almost impossible to get it to open first try when my arms are full and I use my foot to try to open. I look like I'm having a seizure in parking lots, dancing around trying to get it to open. It's embarrassing. And all the money for those "safety" features is a joke. With my 2014 everytime you would wander over a line it would Beep. Now with the 2018, it doesn't beep but vibrate. Well, once in a great while it will vibrate. Not reliable at all. And the yellow lights on side view mirror for knowing if someone is in blind spot, I've been startled many times because the one on driver's side lights up and I'm on the road all by myself. Or to have the dash red danger of impact lights light up for no reason. I paid this extra for safety and I don't feel safe at all. You might immediately say, "Well, did you say anything at the dealership?" YES! They have more excuses than I can count: Well, maybe the lines are bad in the road, maybe sensors are covered, maybe I don't know how to kick my foot 2 times to open back lift...I mean how smart do you h as very to be to wave your foot 2 times between emblem light and tailgate. Blah, blah, blah. I use to tell people, family...all the time how much I like my Buick. A nephew and a niece and a girlfriend each bought one. Now I don't reccomend them anymore.
