2021 Buick Enclave Trims & Specs

There are four trim levels on offer for 2021, starting with the Preferred and followed by the Essence, Premium, and Avenir. All four trim levels feature a 3.6-liter V6 engine producing 310 hp. Power is sent to the front or all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. The base model offers standard features such as tri-zone automatic climate control, 4G LTE Wi-Fi, a six-way power front passenger seat and eight-way power driver seat, and an eight-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Essence models include leather seats, and the Preferred introduces a ten-speaker Bose sound system and added safety tech. Avenir cars get unique wheels, badging, and navigation.

What's the Price of the 2021 Buick Enclave?

A new Preferred trim Buick Enclave will cost you $40,300 in the US excluding tax and registration. Every Buick Enclave price here is also exclusive of a $1,195 destination charge. The Essence will set you back $42,300. The Premium goes for $48,400 and the Avenir costs $54,100. Adding AWD to the Essence will cost $2,000 and $2,200 for both the Premium and Avenir. Due to the Buick badge on the hood, you'll be able to find a good used model for sale with reasonable pricing at most secondhand dealerships. This is a worthwhile option since the 2021 model is virtually unchanged from last year's Enclave.

Additional Packages

There are multiple packages offered at every trim level, allowing buyers to spec their Enclave to fit their specific needs. The base model can be fitted with the $2,795 Touring Package, which adds 20-inch wheels, molded assist steps, and all-season blackwall tires. There are a few other packages at this level, but it's a pity that none of them add any of the driver-assist technologies that are sorely lacking on the Preferred.

The mid-range Essence can be kitted out with the $1,555 Sound and Sites Package, which adds navigation, a 120-volt power outlet, and a ten-speaker Bose premium sound system. The range-topping Avenir can be optioned with packages such as the $2,095 Avenir Technology Package, which adds variable damping suspension, adaptive cruise control, and enhanced emergency braking.

What 2021 Buick Enclave Model Should I Buy?

The Enclave doesn't pretend to be the best luxury crossover SUV that money can buy; hence we would recommend going for the Essence trim. This trim represents a good balance between luxury and affordability. At $42,300, the Essence adds premium features such as perforated leather seats and offers more safety thanks to the addition of lane change alert with side blind zone alert and rear cross-traffic alert. For only $1,395 extra, you can also add navigation and a slick ten-speaker Bose sound system. The Essence is also the first trim level to be offered with AWD.
