5 reasons to buy the 2023 Buick Enclave
1. Classy looks
The 2023 Buick Enclave has an attractive luxury design from any angle. Notice the sculptural details in the hood, grille, and LED headlights that flow seamlessly into smart body contour lines in the profile. The Enclave has several trims that change the exterior flavor, from the rugged Touring with a cargo roof rack to the Sport Touring with gloss black 20-inch wheels, or the top-tier Avenir with extra chrome details and a unique grille. The Enclave is luxury in motion.
2. Cargo space
Cargo matters when you have a large family, drive for a rideshare service, or enjoy hobbies that require plenty of gear. Haul all your stuff and then some with the 2023 Buick Enclave's massive cargo space. Behind the third row is 23.6 cu-ft of cargo space—enough for two people on a long camping weekend. If you need more, drop the second- and third-row seats for a voluminous 97.6 cu-ft. This means you can fit up to 38 carry-on bags or swap all that out for a pair of kayaks.
3. Tech-savvy interior
The 2023 Buick Enclave has a tech-rich interior with the features modern drivers need. An available head-up display projects important driver info onto the windshield so you can keep your eyes on the road. There's standard wireless charging up front and another six USB ports for additional recharging. Also standard is a hands-free liftgate, heated steering wheel, and connectivity options. Your passengers will appreciate standard Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Amazon Alexa™ connectivity, plus an available Wi-Fi hotspot with subscription.
4. Peace and quiet
When commuting is a grind, the 2023 Buick Enclave is your serene retreat. The Enclave is one of the quietest midsize SUVs on the road. Buick designers call it QuietTuning™ and spent time adding extra door seals, acoustic glass, and thick sound-deadening material for a hushed cabin on any road surface. With standard active noise cancellation, driving to work becomes your silent 20 minutes of tranquility, or the drive home from daycare lulls the kids to sleep.
5. Towing power
If you have heavy toys and need capable hauling power, look to the Buick Enclave equipped with the Trailering Package. The 2023 Buick Enclave can tow up to an estimated 5,000 lbs with the V6 engine, when properly equipped.
