• Infotainment: a bold 30-inch curved digital display with Google Built-in, standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, a WiFi hotspot, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system
• Fuel efficiency: EPA fuel-economy ratings for the 2026 Enclave max out at 22 mpg in combined driving (20/25 mpg city/highway) with FWD. Opting for AWD barely affects efficiency, as it's still rated at 21 mpg combined (20/24 mpg city/highway).

Which Buick Enclave trim should I buy?

• Avenir: the top trim adds adaptive dampers, premium leather seats, ventilated and massaging front seats, upgraded ambient lighting, and a 16-speaker audio system, making it the best-value choice if you want the most luxury-oriented Enclave.

What Buick Enclave do most buyers choose?

The Buick Enclave years with the most listings are 2025, 2026, and 2024.

Higher-volume years tend to attract more shoppers because they offer a wider selection and more pricing flexibility. In the Enclave’s case, the most listed model years also line up with strong deal shares, which helps explain their popularity.

What is the Buick Enclave's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, and several recent ones show double-digit declines. That pattern can work in your favor if you’re shopping used, since it opens up more room to find value on newer Enclaves. The smallest changes are concentrated in the newer end of the lineup, which suggests those years have been holding closer to their prior pricing.

The 2024, 2018, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
