2019 Buick Enclave review: 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.

The dealership Young Auto in Burley is fabulous to work with. The car itself is spacious love that it has the third row option. All the technology is pretty easy to figure out. Drives like a dream.
