Midsize and Mighty: The 2025 Buick Enclave

Buick and Detroit are intrinsically linked. The automotive industry began in Detroit, which soon achieved the colorful nickname “the Motor City,” and Buick was one of the brands that helped put it on the map. This relationship has been consistent and beneficial for those who call Detroit home. At LaFontaine Buick GMC Dearborn, the premier Buick dealer near Detroit, we take immense pride in further fostering this relationship.

With the inbound 2025 models causing excitement, we’re proud to share some incredible news about the latest Enclave. Buick’s midsize SUV makes a welcome return with seating for seven passengers, remarkable technologies, and an economical powertrain that provides exceptional performance. Buick is known for supplying luxury at an affordable cost, and the 2025 Enclave is further proof of their devotion to this creed.

Economic Performance

No matter what you drive, how much function and joy you’re able to get out of it depends upon the powertrain. Just about any driver in Detroit will attest to the importance of having a capable powertrain, particularly given the climate for half of the year. Luckily, the latest Buick Enclave finds the perfect balance of performance and economy that many drivers seek, even so far as being able to tow 5,000 lbs.

All three trims of the Buick Enclave are equipped with a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine that produces 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque. This capable engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that allows for seamless shifting and optimal performance when you’re behind the wheel. FWD is standard on all trims of the Enclave, which is the ideal configuration for fuel economy, but AWD is available for Detroit drivers who seek higher performance, gripping the road to traverse trails or the harsh road conditions that arise during a Michigan winter.

While a midsize model with three rows of seating, the Enclave’s turbocharged engine helps it retain conservative fuel economy figures that modern drivers are keen on taking advantage of. According to the EPA, the 2025 Enclave achieves 20 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway, for 23 MPG combined in FWD; alternatively, in AWD, the Enclave gets 19 MPG in the city, 24 MPG on the highway, and 21 MPG combined. Detroit commuters can expect to travel upwards of 446 miles on a full tank, depending on driving habits.

Comfort and Convenience

Buick prides itself on being a brand that delivers luxury for less, and Detroit residents will be pleasantly surprised at the level of sophistication that the interior of the 2025 Buick Enclave offers. Most three-row SUVs have been designed to accommodate eight passengers, with two rows of bench seats placed behind the driver and front passenger. Some SUVs have taken the initiative and installed captain’s chairs in the second row, making this an option in the upper trims. Buick has seized the initiative with the 2025 Enclave, making second-row captain’s chairs the standard on all trim levels, yielding a rewarding experience for all passengers.

Because drivers demand access to the technologies they use daily, Buick has raised the stakes with one of the most immersive and impressive display setups to emerge in quite some time. A 30-inch screen stretches across the dash, combining the infotainment touchscreen and the configurable instrument cluster display. Not only does this Buick’s screen allow you access to all the apps you use, but it integrates with Apple and Android smartphones. This screen is standard on all trims and proves that Buick is determined to give the latest and greatest to its customers.

Not only will you have access to your favorite apps, music, and podcasts, but a 12-speaker stereo from Bose also comes standard, complete with a subwoofer, to ensure pristine audio quality. Every Buick Enclave also comes with QuietTuning, the brand’s patented active noise cancellation tech that helps reduce exterior road noise from invading the cabin.

Driver Assistance Features

There’s nothing more important for a vehicle than safety tech, and the 2025 Buick Enclave provides the means for great protection and oversight when you’re on the road. The list of the standard safety features that accompany all trim levels is impressive, some of which include…

Blind Zone Steering Assist: Visibility is essential to being a safe driver; corrective steering will engage if another vehicle is detected when changing lanes, keeping you from inciting a collision.

Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking: Operating at low speeds, radar and camera technology unite to detect objects that could collide with your vehicle. Hard braking reduces your vehicle’s momentum, which can minimize damage or help you avoid a collision altogether.

Reverse Automatic Braking: Similar to the above, reverse automatic braking is designed to detect objects behind you and apply the brakes when backing up. Sometimes, passing cars can appear suddenly, and reaction time is limited; this tool can be an invaluable second set of eyes.

Adaptive Cruise Control: Crucial for drivers who spend a lot of time on the highway, adaptive cruise control monitors other traffic patterns and automatically adjusts your speed. This ensures that you follow other vehicles at a safe distance and that proper reaction time is preserved, slowing and accelerating accordingly.

Packages and Upgrades

Detroit residents who want to get the most out of the 2025 Buick Enclave can do so with some of the available packages and upgrades that Buick offers. Depending on which one you choose, the Enclave can receive enhancements to performance, safety, or comfort. The following are those that we believe to be the most exciting…

Super Cruise Package: One of GM’s most significant accomplishments in recent years has been the creation of Super Cruise, a semi-autonomous driving tool that affords hands-free driving on over 400,000 miles of highway. In addition to Super Cruise, the package also includes Driver Attention Assist and Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, and the Avenir trim additionally receives a rear camera mirror and washer.

Trailering Package: This package is best suited for Detroit residents who enjoy recreational activities and need a means to transport a trailer or camper. Equipping this package accesses the Enclave’s max towing capacity of 5,000 lbs, and it grants a specialized Tow/Haul driving mode. An engine cooling system is installed to reduce the stress that occurs when towing, and the savvy Hitch Guidance with Hitch View tool makes hooking up a payload easier.

Power Package: This package unlocks multiple items that enhance the Enclave’s interior. A head-up display projects drive cluster data directly onto the windshield, and the driver’s seat has memory settings for two presets, allowing posture customization for two drivers. A one-touch flat-folding and sliding second row enables you to optimize your storage space, while a universal home remote and 110-volt power outlet join the array of accessories.
