Buick is offering a redesigned Enclave, the brand’s latest iteration to get a new look

General Motors Co.’s Buick on Tuesday revealed its all-new 2025 Enclave, the latest in the brand’s lineup to debut with new design features that began with the all-electric Wildcat concept car.

The new Enclave will offer customers better refinements and amenities, including a 30-inch diagonal touchscreen and, on all trims, access to Super Cruise, GM’s hands-free driver assistance technology.

“With the launch of our flagship Buick Enclave SUV, our ICE portfolio is now complete with a full lineup of completely updated or new vehicles,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president, Buick and GMC, in a statement. “The Enclave’s sophisticated and sculptural design provides a confident stance on any street, and all-time-focused technologies elevate the driving experience.”

The all-new Enclave will be made at GM’s Lansing Delta Township assembly plant starting this summer. Pricing will be announced later. The current Enclave starts at $43,900.

The Enclave’s redesign completes the brand’s first refresh of its gas-powered SUVs.

Most recently, Buick revealed the refreshed Envision earlier this month. It has familiar family design cues inspired by the Wildcat concept and follows the new and popular Envista and Encore GX vehicles. The Encore GX was the first of the new models launched by the North American brand. Buick has to show all-electric version this year but has not given a specific time on that.

A year ago, GM unveiled the new Envista, a small SUV with a sedan-like feel starting at $22,400. With help from more than 9,600 Envista sales, Buick was the only GM company to post a sales increase in the first quarter, 16%.

“It’s nice to see that all the cars are new,” said Stephanie Brinley, S&P Global’s assistant director of automotive intelligence. “It kind of helps with consumer attitudes. The other thing that happens when you have a new lineup is that you spend more time and energy on marketing, so that helps make sure that everybody’s aware. They seem to be performing well right now I think they’re in a good position.”

2025 design

The new Buick Enclave, which is longer, wider and longer than the previous generation, has winged headlights. The top trim of the Avenir offers an animation of the walking light.

The SUV comes with upgraded grille, front and rear fascia. The three-row SUV also has a body-mounted hood badge now available across the board

Inside, the floating center console has functional storage, multi-controller, wireless phone charger and cup holders.

Standard design features on all three Enclave models, Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir, include:

Customizable, ambient light in multiple colors
Gate to automatically raise emotional strength
QuietTuning, Buick’s signature technology to help prevent unwanted road noise from entering the cabin.
Heated first-row seats with four-way lumbar support
20-inch alloy wheels with Android Medium Finish, exclusive to Preferred
12-speaker Bose Audio for Preferred and Sport Touring
Enhanced planning capabilities to provide the best balance of travel and handling for Preferred Tours and Sports

Performance, technology

All Enclave trims come standard with a 2.5-liter turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine that produces 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque, and has a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The Enclave will be available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions. The Enclave is compact and has a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds.

The 2025 Enclave is the first Buick to offer Super Cruise with a package that also offers Driver Attention Assist and enhanced Automatic Park Assist. The higher-end Avenir trim includes a rearview camera mirror as part of the Super Cruise package.

The Enclave’s infotainment system uses Google Assistant to allow drivers to respond to text messages, get directions through Google Maps, or control specific vehicle functions. GM said the car still has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, although the automaker has ditched this in favor of Google’s built-in system instead.

Seven camera views are available on the new Enclave, including front, rear and landscape. Two additional cameras are available through optional packages. New standard safety features for the 2025 include blind spot steering assist, automatic intersection emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, lane keeping assist and lane departure warning.
