Used 2022 Buick Enclave for Sale nearBuffalo, NY

How much does the 2022 Buick Enclave cost?

Prices have softened 13.20% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,753 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Buick Enclave earns a 4.7/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Form and function.

Drivers consistently praise the quiet cabin, smooth ride, and spacious interior, and they also call out the upscale feel and strong safety features. For your day-to-day use, that points to a relaxed three-row SUV that works well when you want comfort and room more than flash.

The trade-offs are clear: the Enclave is viewed as poor value for money and has poor fuel economy. That makes it a better fit if you prioritize comfort, space, and a more premium atmosphere over efficiency or bargain pricing.

The model’s market position also reflects that balance, with 34.8% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers describe the Enclave as smooth, quiet, and comfortable, and they also highlight its dependable feel and strong safety features. That combination suggests a vehicle many owners feel good about living with over time, especially if you value a calm, family-friendly driving experience.

The expert review also emphasizes the Enclave’s drama-free, premium ride and Buick’s QuietTuning approach, which supports the sense that it is built for steady, low-stress ownership. Buick also includes the first maintenance service at no charge, which helps early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that higher fuel use and potentially higher repair costs can make ownership less economical than the comfort suggests.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Buick Enclave?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 80% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, because even a strong accident-free share does not guarantee the specific Enclave you’re considering has a clean past. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin, electronics, and driver-assistance features, since this model leans heavily on comfort and technology. It also makes sense to focus on overall condition and maintenance records, especially if you want to avoid surprises on a vehicle that can be expensive to keep running.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Essence trim gets the new standard safety tech and the 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while Premium and Avenir add navigation, a larger reconfigurable driver display, and a better Bose audio system. The Avenir also adds unique exterior and interior touches, plus standard climate-controlled front seats and heated second-row captain’s chairs.
• Powertrain: The Enclave uses a 3.6-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission, making 310 horsepower and offering front-wheel drive standard with all-wheel drive available on all trims. It is tuned for smooth, quiet driving rather than efficiency, and the AWD setup can handle light off-road trails or winter weather.
• Safety package: Buick Driver Confidence Plus is standard on all Enclaves and includes automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane-change alert with blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, lane-keeping assistance with lane-departure warning, rear park assist, following-distance indicator, and automatic high-beam headlights. Premium adds enhanced automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, head-up display, and rear pedestrian alert.
• Infotainment: The Enclave’s standard setup includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, and the ability to pair up to 10 devices with two smartphones active at once. Premium and Avenir trims add navigation, and the system also supports a Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The Enclave returns 21 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive form and 20 mpg combined with all-wheel drive. During testing, it averaged 20.2 mpg in mixed driving.

Which 2022 Buick Enclave trim should I buy?

The 2022 Buick Enclave is offered in 3 trim levels: Essence, Premium, Avenir.

Here's the short version:

• Essence: This is the best-value choice if you want the Enclave’s core strengths without paying for the upper-trim extras. You still get the standard safety package, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, and the same smooth V6 powertrain, so it covers the essentials well.
• Premium: This is the trim to target if you want a more complete daily-driver setup. It adds navigation, the larger reconfigurable driver display, the Bose audio system, and extra safety tech such as adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera.
• Avenir: This is the most upscale version, with unique styling, upgraded interior details, standard climate-controlled front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and the most premium feel in the lineup. It suits you best if comfort and presentation matter more than value.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, but Premium and Avenir bring the most advanced extras.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Buick Enclave?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can be choosy if you shop carefully.

• Deal availability: 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,753 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.20% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 80.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,784, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Buick Enclave's resale value?

The current average of $25,784 sits slightly below last year's $29,706.

That decline suggests the market has moved in buyers’ favor, which can make the Enclave easier to purchase now than it was a year ago. For a future seller, that also means you should expect pricing pressure if the broader market stays soft.

The good news is that the Enclave’s comfort-focused appeal and strong owner satisfaction can help support demand. Well-kept examples with clean history and desirable equipment should hold up better than neglected ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave safe?

The 2022 Buick Enclave earns four-star ratings for rollover resistance from NHTSA, and the IIHS gave it Good ratings in all but one crash test, where it received an Acceptable score.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Buick makes the Buick Driver Confidence Plus package standard on all trims, and it includes automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane-change alert with blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, lane-keeping assistance with lane-departure warning, rear park assist, following-distance indicator, and automatic high-beam headlights. Standard safety equipment also includes a Safety Alert driver’s seat, a rear-seat reminder system, and an HD reversing camera.

Premium adds enhanced automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, head-up display, and rear pedestrian alert. The main caveat is the IIHS side-impact result, which trails the rest of the crash-test performance.

Should I buy a 2022 Buick Enclave or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 80% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.20% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Buick’s 2022 refresh adds new styling, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard driver-assistance tech.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $22,001, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $25,784 average.
• It is roomy, quiet, and upscale, but still feels less modern and less value-friendly.

The bottom line: If you want the newer Enclave with the freshened design, standard safety tech, and better tech features, the 2022 is the stronger pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 can still make sense, especially if you find a clean example with the equipment you want.
