2023 Buick Enclave Trim Levels and Pricing

Buick makes the Enclave in Essence, Premium, and Avenir trims, which have additional features as you move up the range. We’ve included pricing below.

2023 Buick Enclave Essence Trim

2023 Buick Enclave/ Enclave Avenir

The entry-level Essence model seats seven people in premium comfort. Perforated leather seats come standard with heating for the first row. The Essence trim features an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a six-way power-adjusting front passenger seat. In addition, you have second-row captain’s chairs and a 60/40 split-folding third row that seats three or folds flat to accommodate more oversized cargo.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel is heated for extra comfort and has mounted audio and cruise controls for added convenience. Carrying the key fob offers you keyless entry, and the push-button start system gets the engine running fast. You also have remote start capability and a universal home remote system with three programmable channels to operate garage doors, security systems, and compatible home devices.

A tri-zone automatic climate control system lets the front and rear passengers adjust their own temperature settings. Plus, you get Buick’s QuietTuning system, which eliminates unwanted road noise from the cabin so that you can get the most out of the six-speaker audio system. Buyers can also opt for a premium Bose 10-speaker audio configuration.

The tech-laden cabin comes standard with an 8-inch color touch-screen infotainment system. Wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto makes it easy to connect to your smartphone and enables hands-free operation for phone calls, text replies, music streaming, and access to your favorite apps. Six USB ports provide charging, with two in each row, and the front row ports also have data access. On top of this, every model has a 12-volt power outlet in the front.

Other standard tech features include a wireless charging pad and Wi-Fi hotspot. The hotspot allows you to connect multiple devices and has a range of up to 50 feet. Essence has OnStar and Buick Connected Services capabilities along with a free three-year OnStar subscription, unlocking even more remote capabilities. You also get a free trial subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio. An HD rear camera system helps you park, showing a live video of what’s behind you via the infotainment display screen.

Available technology upgrades include a navigation system, adaptive cruise control, a rear camera mirror with a washer, and an HD surround vision camera system. This system uses multiple cameras to render a three-dimensional image of your Enclave from above, with dynamic grid lines to help you navigate tight areas.

2023 Buick Enclave Premium Trim

With the Enclave Premium trim, you get all the features found on the Essence plus a few notable upgrades. The 10-speaker Bose audio system, 8-inch touch screen with built-in navigation, and HD surround vision system come as standard on the Premium trim. It also features a new heads-up display that projects customizable data onto the driver’s front windshield, and you have two driver presets for seating, outside mirrors, and steering column positioning.

Other convenient features include a 120-volt power outlet, a power-operated third-row seat, and a massage function for the first-row seats. The front seats are also ventilated to keep you cool during the hot Texas summers.

2023 Buick Enclave Avenir Trim

The top-of-the-line Buick Avenir trim comes with all the Premium trim features and the elevated comfort and technology that you expect from Buick, such as adaptive cruise control. Most of the Avenir’s upgrades focus on exterior fits and finishes and mechanical improvements. In addition, this trim gives you access to certain optional packages, such as the Avenir Technology package, which adds premium suspension, a damping system, and LED Avenir headlights.

2023 Buick Enclave Driver-Assist Technologies

Every Buick Enclave model comes standard with a suite of driver-assist systems designed to elevate your Fort Worth commute and keep you safer on those busy freeways. The suite includes lane-keep assist with lane departure warning, lane-change alert with side blind-spot alert, a following distance indicator, forward collision alert, rear cross-traffic alert, IntelliBeam auto high-beam assist for front-pedestrian braking, front- and rear-parking assist, and automatic emergency braking.

These systems employ cameras and radar to scan the area around your Enclave. When a system detects a possible hazard, it alerts you with visual, audio, and haptic feedback. In certain situations, these systems can provide additional braking and steering support to help you mitigate or avoid a possible crash. For example, Buick uses a safety alert seat to provide haptic feedback to the driver. The seat vibrates on the left, right, or both sides simultaneously to indicate the direction of the hazard.

Buick also includes a Teen Driver system in every Enclave. Using a key fob, Teen Driver allows you to configure driver settings that encourage good driving habits. For example, you can set limits for speed and cargo volume that alert both your teen driver and you through a smartphone app. The system even provides report cards that you can review with your teenager to help them improve their driving.

2023 Buick Enclave Powertrain

Buick equips every Enclave model with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine, dual overhead cams, spark-ignited direct injection, and start/stop technology. This engine pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission tuned for smooth shifting and power on demand. As a result, this powertrain reaches 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. In addition, when properly equipped, the Enclave can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

All Enclave vehicles come standard with a front-wheel-drive system. However, you can opt for all-wheel drive on any model for enhanced traction and control over various road surfaces and in different weather conditions.
