Is the 2022 Buick Enclave a good car?

You get a quiet cabin, a smooth and comfortable ride, and a spacious interior, and the user feedback also points to a luxurious feel and strong safety appeal.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave reliable?

Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback highlights a reliable-feeling ownership experience built around a smooth, quiet ride, comfort, and a spacious cabin. The expert review also emphasizes a drama-free, premium ride and Buick’s quiet, composed character, which supports the idea that this is a vehicle you can count on for relaxed daily use. Buick also includes the first scheduled maintenance visit on the house, which helps early ownership costs a bit.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is not outright dependability so much as higher running costs tied to fuel use and minor repairs.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on every candidate and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a higher-mileage example or one with optional equipment. Focus on overall condition, because the Enclave’s appeal depends heavily on comfort, cabin quality, and the way its features have been maintained. If you want the best ownership experience, pay close attention to trim content and whether the safety and convenience equipment you expect is actually present.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Essence trim is the entry point, while Premium and Avenir add more upscale equipment. The base Preferred trim is discontinued for 2022, so you should expect the lineup to start with a better-equipped model than before. The Avenir stands out with unique exterior styling, body-colored lowers, distinctive trim and seat stitching, and more comfort-focused cabin details.
• Powertrain: Every Enclave uses a 3.6-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission. It makes 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available on all trims. The setup is tuned for smoothness and easy drivability rather than excitement.
• Safety package: Every Enclave gets the Buick Driver Confidence Plus package, which 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: Essence gets an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus wireless phone charging. Premium and Avenir add navigation, and Premium and Avenir also get a larger 8-inch reconfigurable driver information display. The system supports up to 10 devices, with two smartphones active at once.
• Fuel efficiency: The Enclave returns 21 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 20 mpg combined with all-wheel drive. In 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 starting point because it already includes the standard 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, and the full Buick Driver Confidence Plus safety package. If you want the Enclave’s core comfort and safety without stretching the budget, this is the trim to target.
• Premium: This trim adds navigation, the larger reconfigurable driver display, the Bose audio system, and extra safety and convenience features such as adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, head-up display, and rear pedestrian alert. It is the right middle ground if you want a more complete tech and safety experience.
• Avenir: This is the most upscale version, with unique styling, richer interior details, heated second-row captain’s chairs, climate-controlled front seats, and the most premium overall presentation. It suits you best if you want the most luxurious Enclave and are willing to pay for it.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, but Premium and Avenir add the most advanced convenience and driver-assistance features.

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

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,853 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.74% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $26,568, 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 $26,568 sits slightly below last year's $31,531.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at the right price, you reduce the risk of taking a bigger depreciation hit later. The Enclave’s comfort-focused appeal and strong feature set should still help it hold interest among shoppers who want a roomy three-row SUV.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave safe?

The 2022 Buick Enclave earns Good ratings in all but one IIHS crash test, where it received an Acceptable score in the updated side-impact test. It also earns a four-star rollover rating from NHTSA.

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

Every Enclave comes standard with the Buick Driver Confidence Plus package, which 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 trim adds enhanced automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, head-up display, and rear pedestrian alert. The main caveat is the updated side-impact IIHS result, which is weaker than 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:

• 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.74% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Buick made standard driver-assistance and safety tech part of the 2022 update.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $23,241, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $26,568 average.
• It is especially appealing in its top trim.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped, more modern version of the Enclave, the 2022 is the stronger pick because it adds meaningful tech and safety upgrades while prices have already come down. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is the better value play, especially if you can find one in strong condition and do not mind older tech.
