Great review. We just bought one. Coming from a 22 x5. Wanted something more cost effective. This suits our needs perfectly. Plus it’s bigger. More storage room and three rows of seats. We consider this a win win.
I can’t believe I am saying this. But I love this Buick interior. White with blue steering wheel and blue accents is just gorgeous. I love the way they use this fav colour combo of mine.
we're living in bizarro world where gm is making gorgeous luxury interiors. while the Europeans are using cheap plastics and ugly interiors (cough cough bmw)
Hopefully they've improved the quality to match the look. My work had a 2023 Enclave as an office vehicle and after 2 years and only ~40k km, most of the interior panels and trim were chipping away or fading or broken.
Great review! This vehicle is absolutely stunning!! I am contemplating a larger Crossover and this has moved into 1st place. The colour combo is amazing.
We have a base model loaner right now while our GMC truck is in for service. It has the sandstone interior. The interior is spacious and stylish. The cabin is quiet and the ride is great. The engine is definitely not pleasant sounding at low speeds. I’ve had a Hyundai and two Volvos since my last GM product but this Enclave is drawing me back in. I went back to my dealer and looked at the Avenir with this blue interior. It’s probably the one I’d buy. Lease programs are terrible right now, given these are just flooding into dealers. I hope things change before I need to buy. Very impressive product from GM. So glad I’ve had the opportunity to spend some time with one. As usual, love the video!!
I drove the Avenir and the Toyota Grand Highlander Platninum. I liked the interior better on the Avenir, but I didn't like the cramped room for my feet in the 3rd row and the engine noise when acceleratering. The Grand Highlander Hybred Max engine puts the Avenir to shame. It is so much more powerful and QUIET. I think I'll for go the Avenir's interior for the better performance and quietness. thanks for your review. I love you guys.
I took my '23 Enclave Avenir in for an oil change this morning and while there, I checked out a '25 Avenir in White Frost Tricoat. It was nice-looking. I'm thinking about getting one for my wife to drive. She currently has a '21 Envision Avenir but likes the comfort of the Enclave over the sporty-feel of the Envision's seats.
General Motors has definitely raised the bar in all their interiors starting 2022 with full size trucks and now the new refresh mid size and full size SUVs. This Buick is sharp and I’m with Andrea, this interior is more appealing to the eyes than most BMWs
Beautiful interior I must say. Still wish they had the v6 option at least on the top trim. Overall very good package. I'm not sure about pricing but it's a well thoughout design.
Beautiful SUV. That white and blue interior is stunning. I'm not sure how I feel about an SUV that big with a turbo 4cyl. I'm with Andrea about the blue carpeting and the piano black trim on the console.
GM has been putting out nice looking vehicles these days - makes me take notice when I see them. The interior - sister was looking at the Santa Fe and I was saying oh the cream or white looks sharp - but she said 'no no I use it too much like a truck' something darker as it will just be too much to keep it look-in nice - but I kept talking it up as it looked great - maybe just different so and therefore eye catching - she ended up with like a tan (almost caramel but not quite ) and grey dual tone - looked darn sharp too I had to admit.
GM seems to be on a roll with it's new models, stylish and well thought out. Time will tell on the reliability of all these turbos (I"m not seeing big gains in mpg on most of them). Good job GM!
Buick is the only brand that could tempt me to buy American. My friend has a 2022 Envision, and that thing is plush! The only thing I didn't like was how low the pedal had to go before I got some power. Compared to my NX 350h, it was pretty low. If they had a hybrid, I would seriously consider them.
Loveeee this car! I think Buick can get new customers like gen Zs and millennials looking for SUVs 😮💨. I hope it comes with a clear floor mat lol. Because the dirty mats……idk about that
My son just bought a brand new GMC Acadia Denali and, while he likes it a lot, feels it rides like a large vehicle, and also feels like it is not as soft a ride as he thought. Do you feel any difference in the buick? Thank you for the great review as always!
As someone who despises GM, I will say this is a really nice vehicle... I'll wait 10 years to see if they have turned the corner on their quality issues of the past. It looks like they might have finally smartened up but I just don't trust them yet. But this is an excellent start in trying to win me back from my horrible experiences of the past.
If they’d just give the Envision power fold mirrors, that full rear light bar, B&O, and ventilated seats at the mid trim via options…that would sell very well. A little tired of $44,000 not being enough, when you can get all of it for less with other brands. At least they properly placed the wireless charger with the Enclave.
We have the GMC version (Acadia) of this, it has no shinny plastic in the interior if that’s an issue for anyone. On fuel economy, currently our best is 29.4, better than rated. It comes down to how you drive, get in it and you will use more than rated, just drive normally and you get rated or better. We also have the sport tuned suspension and 22s. The ride and drive are great!
Great chanel and great review. Normally, I'd go for an equipped Traverse, but I understand that the 2005 Traverse offers only a black or dark grey interior. To get a lighter color, you need to go with the GMC or Buick. Any thoughts there? Also, just to throw in two other possible options at opposite ends of the spectrum, Hyundai Santa Fe and Jeep Grand Cherokee L - I know those are definitely different price and value propositions, but any thoughts there?? Thanks!!!
Blue/off-white interior is beautiful, careful with the juice boxes! I like the rear, the front end could be more masculine, bit soft looking with the squinty nose and daytime running lights.
Genuine question: why do so many automakers continue to put gloss black in their interiors? It seems everyone from customers to reviewers dislike it due to the fingerprints problem but year after year automakers continue to incorporate it in their designs..
Thank you another great video as usual. In terms of riding comfort (quietness, lack of vibration, smooth riding), how does this compare to the 2025 Nautilus and Lexus TX?
I really like this vehicle, and it's equipped with a 2.5, not a 1.5, and it has a real 8 speed transmission. The only thing? the grill looks like a hyundai from the front?
My question is how well do leatherette seats hold up over time?? My experience with leatherette on furniture and handbags is not good, but $10k more to get a leather interior seems steep.
Beautiful! We had a Buick growing up in the 2000s and I remember getting made fun of endlessly for our ugly car LOL. I would consider this if it had more buttons. I'm sorry but this much screen is still a no-go for me.
That interior looks really premium and the color choices are right up my alley. How is it if you push the pace a bit? Zack is right, the X3 is MUCH smaller and the 25 edition looks so confusing inside and out.
Andrea needs to enjoin Zack form commenting on the Buick nomenclature! We rented one in Seattle some years back, it took in all of us and our luggage to a wedding in Bellingham. After arriving very late to Seattle it was a pleasant surprise even though we had asked for a minivan.
If i looked at this vehicle from far away with the Tail-lights and they showed the interior contrast colors of the blue and light colors. I'd think it was apart of the Lincoln line up.
All these large vehicles going down to 4 cylinder turbos just asking for trouble. You're never going to get longevity and reliability like you used to with the V6 that goes for the Toyotas as well. No thanks.
Drove avenir last week ,my wife also did not like the shiny black on console which she pointed out was already scratched. Needles to say her opinion on that issue and all black floor mats put the kibosh on the deal .what a shame loved the car otherwise
@@stevenjump8234 same here, the turbo 4 sounds like shit, but that's the case in most vehicles with a turbo 4. But hey, the Enclave is the perfect vehicle to attend my HOA meetings and stunt on all the haters at the assisted living facility.
ASE certified technician. Let’s see how long these turbo motors last. Putting a pressure cooker aka turbo on a motor it looses longevity. Turbos go bad quite offensively and also cause head gasket problems.
Envista Encore GX Envision Enclave And that’s in order from pricing structure! lol 😂 and you heard it here first, if Buick ever thinks about introducing a new model to the line up, it should be called the ‘Entice’ 😂😂😂
Looks really nice, but American Turbo! Does it also have direct fuel Injection? If so your looking at fuel oil dilution and 160k max engine life. Bring back V6 😂
There's a reason all SUVs look the same these days. Safety regulations imposed by the US govt that manufactures have to meet on bumper standards, front end collision standards, etc, and requirements to meet EPA regulations for efficiency. Designers today are limited on what they can do. Ie. Bumpers have to be designed to limit pedestrian injuries so they are rounded more on the corners, front ends have to be designed to reduce pedestrian deaths so headlights are affected as well. Once they meet these requirements all brands end up looking similar.
Why would I want this high tech genuine GM Junk I like gauges why would anyone want a distracting screen Buick don’t do nothing for me I don’t like SUVs just give me a nice plush car sorry I’m done here listening to these corporate puppets trying to persuade people to buy this junk people nowadays are super stupid
That steering wheel looks so "saaaad" and its too much for me to unsee to EVER get. Hopefully, Buick will "cheer that thing up" soon! Stupid things like that just really affect my comfort... like that stuuupid dissappearing red color on the right side of the dash on Chevy's Eqinox RS - That kind of thing would probably wind up getting me into an accident, because of some mental feedback loop causing by my eyes being distracted to focus exactly where that red light arbitrarily ends!

Why would you want the option of a less powerful, less torquey engine?
Not necessarily. More so a better refined and better sounding engine. At least giving it as an option. They can port in the v6 from the Cadillac v.
This car is just gorgeous.
I like this new Buick! Nice appointments and style, I could see myself in this,
You two do a nice job, always. thanks
Great looking vehicle inside and out. I agree the only blemish is the gloss black plastic but at least there isn't too much of it.
This interior is pretty
I am gonna buy in Jan 2025. Thanks for great review!!!

Not bad looking vehicle but both price and gas mileage are so and so. They would have a hybrid would be an awesome. Cheers Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️

Kinda surprised they like this 4 cyl engine in such a large SUV. Infiniti is getting slammed with their 4 cyl QX-60.
I wonder why Buick gives you only one free service in the US? I get two in Canada with my just-purchased '24 Envision.

The turbo 4 cylinder doesn't get better fuel economy than the outgoing 3.6L V6. What exactly are we doing here?
