Buick Enclave 3rd Gen (2025-present)
Clean-sheet redesign. 2.5L turbo I4 (328 hp) replacing V6. Super Cruise optional.
Refreshed C1XX evolution platform. New engine: LSY 2.5L turbocharged I4 (328 hp / 326 lb-ft) replacing the LGX V6 — controversial change that traditionalists debated, but reviewers have praised for low-end torque and improved fuel economy. Eight-speed automatic. FWD or Twin-Clutch AWD. Super Cruise hands-free highway driving optional — Buick's first deployment of GM's hands-free system. Three rows of seating, six- or seven-passenger configurations. Avenir trim continues at the top with quilted Brandy semi-aniline leather, 16-speaker Bose audio, and exclusive 22-inch wheels. Production at GM Lansing Delta Township. Continues in production for 2026 model year. Now establishing strong used-market footprint as the latest Buick flagship CUV.
