Looking for a roomy three-row SUV?
The Buick Enclave is a great AWD midsize crossover with a long list of upscale luxury features both standard and available. From the well-equipped base-model Preferred trim to the ultra-luxurious Avenir trim, there is definitely an Enclave out there just for you. While we currently do not have many 2020 Buick Enclaves on our lots, we look forward to selling more in the future. The first-generation Enclave (2008–2017) is a great choice, as is the newly updated second-generation (beginning in 2018) Enclave. So, if you love the 2020 model, you should also consider prior model years of the Buick Enclave with similar features.
