The 2021 Buick Enclave arrives with a few minor changes and updates, marking the fourth model year of the second generation, and following a mid-cycle refresh for the preceding 2020 model year. Now, GM Authority has uncovered the recommended mix of 2021 Buick Enclave trims with regard to dealer orders, providing a framework for expected inventory and where sales are landing.
According to documents seen by GM Authority, General Motors is recommending that dealers order the following mix of 2021 Buick Enclave models:
| Trim Level | GM Recommended Mix | Starting MSRP |
|---|---|---|
| Preferred | 5% | $41,195 |
| Essence | 50% | $43,195 |
| Premium | 20% | $49,595 |
| Avenir | 25% | $54,995 |
- MSRP listed does not include tax, title, license, or dealer fees
Perhaps most notable is the 25 percent recommended for the top Avenir trim level, demonstrating strong demand for the most luxurious and high-priced trim in the 2021 Buick Enclave lineup. Meanwhile, the midrange Essence takes up the majority of the mix at 50 percent, while the Premium is recommended at 20 percent. The base Preferred trim is recommended at just 5 percent of the mix.
It’s also worth mentioning that General Motors has increased production of 2021 Buick Enclave models equipped with the Sport Touring package, an optional appearance upgrade first introduced for the 2020 model year. Previously, GM recommended that Enclave Sport Touring models make up about 10 to 15 percent of dealer orders for the 2020 model year. Now, however, the Sport Touring got a boost in the recommended trim mix, up to 20 percent for the 2021 model year.
As a reminder, the Sport Touring package includes a unique grille treatment, 20-inch wheels, and new badging on the liftgate.
The latest 2021 Buick Enclave is once again offered as a full-size, four-door crossover utility vehicle (CUV) with three rows of seating in the cabin for a maximum of seven passengers. Motivation is derived from the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LFY gas engine, which produces 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, and mates to the nine-speed M3W automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is offered.
The upcoming 2022 model year will introduce a mid-cycle enhancement (MCE) for the Buick Enclave. Previously slated to arrive for the 2021 model year, the MCE was delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

well lets be real, every trim under the avenir is a joke and therefore a waste of money. hell, even the avenir is a joke as well.
Well said for a 15 year old kid, come back when you grow up and have some appreciation for an upscale vehicle….
Upscale my ass. Buick no longer means upscale. The Avenir trim should’ve been a mid level trim. Mazda and acura interiors are far better than the enclave. If i want upscale then I’ll go to cadillac. Literally nobody cares for buick anymore. Literally no model stands out in their lineup.
Well since the average sales of Enclaves each year is around 55,000 there are plenty of people who would disagree with you.
The roughy 200,000 vehicles Buick sells each year would also show your statement is mere personal opinion.
No model may stand out to you, but as you’ve mentioned in a previous post you’re a kid, who probably still only had a learners permit… Buick is not marketed towards teenagers….
And how many of thise models are top sellers? Better yet how many are in the top 5 of sales? Like 1 or 2? Like I said, A JOKE. Buick is garbage. Plain and simple. And I’m 18, so an adult by law. So that also means I have a license. But you do you I guess.

Article here on this site stating Enclave takes second place in its segment…
And ok Ricky Bobby, if you ain’t first your last.. grow up… Again the facts show roughly 200,000 new Buick sales a year flies in your face.
If you can’t be glad for the success that GM has, amongst it various name plates, maybe you should stick to a Camaro forum.
With sedans gone Buick US must be making money but I’m suprised Enclave Avenir isn’t more expensive. Buick sits in that old Oldsmobile space with just enough of a price premium to hobble volume but not enough to denote prestige.
I’d rather own Envision which is one of the sharpest looking SUVs on the road. Hoping Buick will use Envision as a design language going forward.
Envision 100% made in China.
And……………………….
Thanks Mary
It’s scarcely surprising that Enclave Avenir is a big seller for the brand. Buick used to sell premium sedans and wagons such as the LeSabre, Electra, and Park Avenue, followed more recently by the Lucerne and last-generation LaCrosse. But GM shamefully allowed the LaCrosse to wither on the vine through sheer neglect. If Buick had only given the latest LaCrosse some halfway-decent marketing and advertising support, it might have had a fighting chance even in a changing marketplace. But as it was, the LaCrosse’s last generation, as beautiful a car as it was, was cut short after only three short model years. So I’m pulling for the Enclave in general and the Enclave Avenir in particular. And as long as the Enclave is able to resist automakers’ current compulsion to put four-cylinder–or, even worse, three-cylinder–engines in everything, it will remain an eminently desirable vehicle.
I love my 2017 Enclave Premium. I really dont care what people drive down the road. I have driven alot of cars and to tell you the truth there is not a whole lot of difference in them. But you can tell the cheap ones from the well built ones. Thank goodness for the cheap labor in china and india building things for the world.
I have to agree with the young man, I owned a 2012 Buick Enclave and it was a great vehicle. Traded it for 2018 Premium Enclave and it’s cheaper made and not what I expected from Buick. I am over sixty.
Keep 4 year bumper to bumper warrenty ! Most likely not driving after 5 more years !
