Buick launched the third-generation Buick Enclave crossover for the 2025 model year, showing off a completely redesigned exterior, a high-tech cabin space, and a new turbocharged powertrain, among other updates and changes. Now, The General has implemented a modest price increase across the 2025 Buick Enclave trim level cadence, as compared to pricing at the model’s initial launch.
The 2025 Buick Enclave now starts at $46,495 for the entry-level Preferred trim with front-wheel drive (FWD). Opting for all-wheel drive (AWD) raises the price to $48,495. The Sport Touring trim, which adds a few sportier styling cues, starts at $48,995 for FWD and $50,995 for AWD. At the top of the lineup, the luxury-focused Avenir model now starts at $59,595 for FWD and $61,595 for AWD.
All prices listed here include a $1,395 destination freight charge.
Compared to when Buick first introduced the 2025 Enclave, prices have risen $100 for Preferred trims, and $200 for Sport Touring and Avenir trims.

In terms of design, the 2025 Buick Enclave takes inspiration from the 2022 Buick Wildcat EV Concept, presenting updated front and rear fascias, as well as Buick’s latest Tri-Shield badging. Standard LED lighting is included at both ends, bookending the modern design nicely. The next-gen Enclave also sees revised exterior dimensions, with a body that’s longer, wider, and taller than its predecessor.
Inside, the 2025 Enclave offers an array of high-tech features, including a standard 30-inch ultra-wide infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charging, a full suite of safety tech features, and available Super Cruise, GM’s semi-autonomous driving system.
Under the hood, the 2025 Buick Enclave is equipped as standard with the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 engine, which delivers 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent through the GM eight-speed automatic transmission.
The all-new 2025 Buick Enclave is assembled at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan. Under the skin, the new Enclave continues to ride on the GM C1 platform, which also underpins vehicles like the Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia.

Over $61K for a vehicle with a 4 Turbo? I’d never.
Funny how a lot of automotive journalists are now noticing that automakers are increasing prices when tariffs aren’t even in effect yet. It’s the new pandemic supply scam all over again. This time, they won’t be so lucky, however.
Ok…. What’s in your driveway?
Pretty much all competitors offer that or will shortly, it isn’t a big deal, especially when this is one of the most powerful out there.
Let’s assume that the Enclave will be most often cross-shopped against the Lexus RX and TX lines and the Acura MDX. The Lexii also have 4-cyl. turbos as the base, but they have hybrid variants that boost HP and torque numbers if someone wants them. The MDX has two engine options, but even the base engine is a V6. The Enclave sits here at top level trim at $60k+ with this. Maybe for the gm die-hards this is a non-issue. For anyone without brand loyalty, how could you not look at other offerings. And for the American-brand-only audience, the Aviator offers a V6.
Even this GM diehard is having trouble answering “$60k for those awful looks and 4 cylinders?”.
You are confusing the customer that shops these vehicles, all they hear is total power and how it drives, not cylinder count. The turbo V6 offers a whopping 25 more HP and TQ, whoa. And it is only available in the Type-S at $75k to start and a much smaller CUV. The standard V6 offers a whopping 290hp and 270tq, not exactly a powerful motor. TX with the optional engines is way more expensive. Do people here not think GM help countless market feedback sessions, polled their previous customers and competitors or do y’all think 90% of the buyers of those vehicles are old car guys that only hold cylinder count as to what is important (regardless if that smaller turbo horrible out-performs it)? Seriously, a $200 increase, stop the presses! The 2.5 has been well reviewed except for one item, sound. It performs the same as the old motor, drives around regularly better and uses less fuel (as independent tests and owners are reporting). So why all the hate? You would think y’all would be smitten with a sizeable power boost, especially in the areas a big heavy CUV needs it, and improved mpg with a motor developed off the full size trucks (2.7) that has been performing extremely well.
can’t sell what they’ve got–even before tariffs start–so they raise their prices—yea, that makes total “business / consumer sales” sense.
Yeah… good luck with that!
I guess the game plan is to throw $10,000 incentives on these things when they fail to move, so raise the price now to try to make overall margin?
Today’s Course:
‘How to Continue to Lose Market Share 101’
Does that course include generational change over impacts that are the cause of this years lower numbers? Seriously, give it a full year or two out to make that comment. And MSRP last year, versus a $200 increase with $1,500 in incentives doesn’t take much to cover margins with increase sales. Not hard to math that one…
Hogwash. The numbers are still going to look bad in 2-3 years time. This is an unsightly vehicle, with an extremely ugly front snout. It took everything once elegant about the original Enclave and turned it into Chinesium.
And, if you hadn’t noticed, vehicle sales are slowing and could even plummet if a true recession rolls in shortly. No one is going to want these fugly Enclaves then, especially at inflated prices.
Then, one of two things will happen:
1). No one buys, so GM has to put a lot of money into incentives to move metal. However, this doesn’t grow the number of customers, it just captures the ones you were already losing to meet sales expectations.
…or (the more likely scenario):
2). They’ll throttle down production to try and build scarcity and maintain pricing. No one will buy it as it will be competitively expensive and/or unavailable. GM will then claim that it’s a failing model/brand when it doesn’t meet sales expectations and continue the drive to fully terminate Buick in the U.S.A.
Either option does not grow market share, all because GM has made a fugly vehicle that they refuse to price competitively.
Really sad that this bland box with a four-cylinder is now the top-of-the-line and only American Buick. Mary should be ashamed of herself to have reduced Buick to this after so many decades of building cars of beauty, innovation, and luxury. The ‘53 Skylark comes to mind along with the now-popular-again ‘87 GNX, many Park Avenues and, of course, all the beautiful Rivieras like the ‘63, ‘66, ‘71, and ‘79-85. This Lexus-looking CUV just doesn’t live up to all that Buick history.
I agree with you 100% It’s really Sad what Buick and Cadillac have now become as well as Lincoln Motor Company. All three car companies need New corporate leadership and upper management. They also need to go back to their roots and build cars like they did back in the 50’s 60’s 70’s 80’s and 90’s and 00’s. GM and Ford also need All-New leadership and management and build quality vehicles that customers want and need. GM and Ford need to invest and build Sedans, Coupes and Convertibles again.
30 years after anything you listed, yeah, Mary is the problem….
GM all my life but my s10 and Park Ave will have to last me the rest of my life because I WILL NOT spend that kind of money on a vehicle
You are very well educated and understand the difference between NEEDS and WANTS. Many ignorant people the past 4 years have gone WAY above their “”means” and this is why cars have sky rocketed in price. Stop buying. It’s thats simple!
Make american great again.
We checked out a couple of 2025 Enclaves, some with over 60K stickers. This vehicle is a disappointment. The base model looks cheap with its dull rental counter grey wheels and black plastic around the exterior that is more akin to a Chevy Traverse. The ST was hardly any better with an interior that was as dull and lifeless as dishwater with loads of black plastic and piano black. Zero wood accents or warmth anywhere to be seen. This begs the question, why do we need 3 very similar versions of the same vehicle?
I have a 2023 enclave avenir,I trade every 2 years, I’m done with gm pricing in light of a 4banger and all of the v8 engine failures and class action law suits. I’m switching to a 400hp Ford Explorer RT.
