The 2021 Buick Enclave receives a few minor changes and updates, and marks the fourth model year of the second-generation Enclave.

Availability

We expect the 2021 Buick Enclave to hit dealer lots by the end of the 2020 calendar year.

Pricing

The starting MSRP for the 2021 Enclave is expected to remain similar if not slightly more than the current $41,195 for the 2020 model year, which includes the $1,195 destination freight charge.

Beyond 2021

We expect that the current, second-generation Buick Enclave will remain in production for at least the 2021, 2022, 2023 and probably the 2024 model years, with a refresh expected for the 2022 model year.

An all-new, future Buick Enclave may launch in the vicinity of the 2025 model year.
