The Enclave offers luxury comfort but misses the thrill of driving.
Impressively quiet ride · Spacious second and third rows
Engine noise under acceleration · Floaty suspension and numb steering
The 2026 Buick Enclave defines itself with an impressively quiet and spacious cabin, perfect for families who prioritize comfort over excitement. Its 2.5L Turbo 4-Cyl engine delivers a respectable 328 hp, but under hard acceleration, the engine noise is hard to ignore, which detracts from its otherwise serene ride. What surprised us most was the abundance of tech features, including the newly available Super Cruise, making long highway drives a breeze. However, the handling feels floaty, and the steering lacks feedback, which might leave driving enthusiasts wanting more. This SUV is ideal for those who seek a roomy, luxurious ride but can overlook some dynamic shortcomings.
Our pick: Avenir AWD ($61,495)
vs. 2026 Volkswagen Atlas: The Atlas wins on price and offers a more engaging drive, but the Enclave shines with better interior luxury and tech features.
