| The 2026 Enclave is powered by a turbocharged 2.5‑litre four‑cylinder engine producing approximately 328 horsepower and 326 lb‑ft of torque. It’s paired with an eight‑speed automatic transmission and offers both front‑wheel drive and available AWD (all-wheel drive) options for enhanced traction and stability. Fuel economy estimates hover in the low‑20s mpg combined. The cargo capacity reaches up to around 97.5 cubic feet when the second and third rows are folded. The cargo volume behind the third row is generous, providing ample space for luggage or groceries, and the overall cargo volume ensures practicality for family trips. The Enclave also boasts a spacious interior with impressive passenger volume, making it comfortable for families or larger groups. The vehicle's width, including mirrors, should be considered when evaluating parking and maneuverability. Comprehensive performance and safety testing further validate the Enclave's quality and reliability. | Pricing for the Buick Envision starts in the mid‑$40,000s for the base trim, which already includes a strong set of standard features for its price, and climbs into the low‑$60,000 range for the top‑tier Avenir, where additional amenities and technology are included. Key trim levels include the Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir. Each trim offers plenty of features and amenities for its price point, ensuring buyers get excellent value whether they prioritize value, sport‑inspired styling, or premium luxury. |
Building on a major redesign introduced recently, the 2026 update refines the Enclave with subtle but meaningful tweaks: new exterior color options and updated tech features are offered, along with refreshed interior themes. The updated design enhances the Enclave's visual appeal, giving it a more modern and sophisticated presence. The interior remains spacious, easily accommodating families and cargo. These changes keep the model fresh and competitive in the three‑row SUV space. |
