Used 2022 Buick Enclave for Sale nearSacramento, CA

How much does the 2022 Buick Enclave cost?

Prices have softened 15.81% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,851 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing prices and trims. If you find a listing below $26,697.97, 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 7.00/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Form and function.

You’ll see recurring praise for its quiet cabin, great ride quality, and spacious interior, which line up with its role as a relaxed three-row family SUV. The overview also points to a comfortable, upscale feel that makes it appealing if you want a more premium alternative to a typical mainstream hauler.

The trade-offs are straightforward: the expert notes poor value for money and poor fuel economy. That means you’re buying comfort, space, and refinement first, not bargain pricing or efficiency.

With its three-row layout and upscale bent, it fits best if you want a calm family vehicle that prioritizes comfort over flash. Good and great deals account for 28.2% of listings, so there’s at least some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave reliable?

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

The user feedback also points to a reliable and trouble-free ownership experience, with drivers highlighting comfort and confidence in day-to-day use. The expert notes Buick’s quiet and smooth character, along with a drama-free, premium ride, which supports the sense that this is built for easy living rather than constant fuss.

You also get a maintenance perk: your first scheduled service visit is included. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that repair costs can still climb 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 83.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report on any specific listing, because a clean market average doesn’t guarantee a clean individual vehicle. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-mileage examples or vehicles with optional equipment. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the safety and tech features work as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The 2022 Enclave comes with a refreshed exterior, a restyled center console, and upgraded materials, while the Avenir adds its own unique grille, fascias, body-colored lowers, taillamps, and 20-inch wheel design. The base Preferred trim is discontinued, so the entry point is the Essence trim.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.6-liter V6 with direct injection and 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.
• 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 trim 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 an 8-inch reconfigurable driver information display.
• Fuel efficiency: The Enclave returns 21 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive form and 20 mpg combined with all-wheel drive.

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 value pick if you want the Enclave’s core strengths without stretching too far. You still get the V6, the new standard safety tech, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, and the roomy, quiet cabin that defines the model.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds navigation, the larger reconfigurable driver display, Bose audio, and extra safety and convenience features like adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera.
• Avenir: This is the most upscale choice, with unique exterior and interior touches, climate-controlled front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and the most premium presentation overall. It suits you best if you want the richest feel and are willing to pay for it.

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 shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,851 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.81% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 83.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $26,697.97, 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 $26,748 sits slightly below last year's $31,772.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim appeal rather than on broad market momentum alone.

The good news is that the Enclave’s comfort-focused reputation and strong owner satisfaction can help support demand. Well-kept examples should remain easier to move than neglected ones, especially if they have desirable equipment and a clean history.

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 2022 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 rollover resistance.

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

Buick makes the Driver Confidence Plus package standard on every trim, and that 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 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 IIHS side-impact result, which trails the rest of the Enclave’s otherwise strong 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:

• 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.81% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Buick’s 2022 refresh adds standard wireless CarPlay and Android Auto plus standard driver-assistance tech across the lineup.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $23,431, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $26,748 average.
• It’s roomy, quiet, and upscale, with a strong comfort-first personality.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped and more safety-forward version, the 2022 is the smarter target. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 can still make sense, especially if you’re willing to give up some of the refresh-era improvements.
