Used 2022 Buick Enclave for Sale nearDayton, OH

How much does the 2022 Buick Enclave cost?

Prices have softened 16.09% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 1,882 listings available, you have a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $26,625.45, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Buick Enclave earns a 4.67/5 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, great ride quality, and spacious interior. The overview also points to a relaxed, upscale family-hauler feel, which lines up with the comfort-focused feedback from owners.

The trade-offs are straightforward: experts call out poor value for money and poor fuel economy. That means you’re buying into comfort, space, and refinement more than bargain pricing or efficiency.

With its three-row layout and upscale bent, the Enclave fits you best if you want a calm, roomy SUV for family duty rather than a sporty or budget-first choice. Even so, 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still some attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave reliable?

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

The owner summary points to a smooth and quiet ride, spacious interior, and excellent safety features, while also describing the Enclave as incredibly comfortable with a luxurious feel. It also suggests the SUV can be count on for comfort-focused daily use, even if fuel use and minor repair costs can be concerns.

Experts describe the Enclave as delivering a drama-free, premium ride with Buick’s QuietTuning helping create a serene cabin. That kind of refinement usually supports a dependable-feeling ownership experience, especially if you value consistency over flash.

Buick also includes the first scheduled maintenance visit, which helps soften early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that comfort and refinement can come with higher running costs if the vehicle hasn’t been maintained carefully.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings are strong but not universal. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a three-row SUV like this, where wear can show up in brakes, suspension, electronics, and interior condition. Focus on how well the cabin, seats, and tech features have held up, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on comfort and equipment.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Essence trim is the value play because it brings the newly standard safety tech along with the Enclave’s core comfort and space. Premium adds more convenience and tech, while Avenir brings unique styling, upgraded trim, and standard climate-controlled front seats plus heated second-row captain’s chairs.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.6-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available on all trims. The setup is tuned for smooth, quiet driving rather than excitement, and the SUV can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
• 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: Essence gets an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus wireless phone charging. Premium and Avenir add navigation, and the larger 8-inch reconfigurable driver display is also reserved for those trims.
• Fuel efficiency: The front-wheel-drive model returns 21 mpg combined, while the all-wheel-drive version gets 20 mpg combined. 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 trim because it gives you the Enclave’s core strengths, including the standard safety package, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, and the roomy, quiet cabin. If you want the most sensible entry point, this is the one to start with.
• Premium: This trim is the smart step up if you want more convenience and driver-assist tech, including navigation, the larger reconfigurable driver display, enhanced automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, head-up display, and rear pedestrian alert. It suits you if you want a more complete daily driver without going all the way to the top trim.
• Avenir: This is the most upscale choice, with unique exterior styling, upgraded interior trim and stitching, standard climate-controlled front seats, and heated second-row captain’s chairs. It’s the right pick if you want the most premium-feeling Enclave and are willing to pay for it.

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

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully and enough deal activity to find value.

• Inventory: There are 1,882 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.09% compared with last year.

What is the 2022 Buick Enclave's resale value?

The current average of $26,656 sits slightly below last year's $31,767.

That price drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point. For a future seller, it also means resale value may be more sensitive to condition, mileage, and trim choice than it would be in a stronger pricing environment.

If you keep the vehicle in strong shape and maintain it well, you’ll be better positioned when it’s time to sell. The current softness also means buyers may be more price-conscious, so a clean history and well-kept interior matter even more.

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 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Enclave the highest-possible Good ratings in all but one crash test, where it received an Acceptable score. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not published full crash-test ratings, but it did give the Enclave four-star ratings for rollover resistance.

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

Buick Driver Confidence Plus is standard on all trims 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. That means the base trim is already well equipped, while higher trims add more advanced convenience and awareness features.

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:

• 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.09% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Buick made standard driver-assist and safety tech a major part of the 2022 refresh.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $23,375, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $26,656 average.
• It is roomy, quiet, and especially appealing in its top trim level.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped and more safety-forward version, 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 in good condition.
