As a reminder, the 2023 Buick Enclave is powered by the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LFY gasoline, which develops 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. The sole transmission option is the GM nine-speed automatic transmission, which pairs with FWD as standard or AWD as an option.

As for structure, the Enclave rides on the GM C1 platform, while production began at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan on June 11^th.
