Will the Buick Enclave change in 2024?
The Buick Enclave will not change in 2024, however it has been confirmed that an update is in the works for the 2025 model year. We are excited to see what 2025 will bring for the Buick Enclave, a few hypothesized changes are possibly an EV upgrade or at least the addition of electricity to the powertrain with a possible hybrid option. On top of powertrain changes the Buick Enclave will most likely be reimagined and we hope that it will look more like the brand new Buick Envista which is a gorgeous “coupe” crossover. Going into 2025 it will also receive the updated Buick logo and have an updated interior.
Since the crossover remained largely unchanged in 2024 the engine carried over and the Enclave is still powered by a V6 engine that displaces 3.6 liters and produces 310 horses and 266 pound feet of torque. This is paired with a 9 speed automatic transmission that shifts smoothly and without worry. The ride of the Enclave is exactly as our premium audiences would want, comfortable and authoritative. This car might not be the most precise sport SUV on the road, but it sure does feel like a luxury vehicle when it comes to driving around town.
What competes with the Buick Enclave in 2024?
There are a variety of vehicles that compete with the Buick Enclave in 2024. To name just a few there is the Genesis GV80, BMW X5, Cadillac XT5, Volvo XC90, and Porsche Cayenne. As you can easily see the Enclave clearly has its work cut out as the segment is one of the most competitive in the market. It is hard work to take the hearts of the luxury midsize SUV segment. Each of the brands comes to play and puts its best foot forward.
Currently Buick does this by offering premium features at a lower cost than many of its competitors. For example all of the above mentioned vehicles start north of $55,000 with a couple, the Cayenne, coming close to $80,000. The Enclave competes by providing fancy features for only $45,300 starting. Finding a used 2024 Enclave will bring that price down even lower. Beyond that Buick capitalizes on the fact that most luxury SUV drivers do not necessarily need or want sporty performance and so it provides a smooth and authoritative ride that appeals to some of the more sensible consumers in the market.
What’s the price of a 2024 Buick Enclave?
For a used 2024 Enclave the prices will be lower depending on the mileage and wear and tea. But to give an idea of the cost, the 2024 Buick Enclave started at around $45,300 for the base trim, the Essence. This trim comes standard with wireless charging, a heated steering wheel, hands free liftgate, heated front seats, and wireless phone interfaces for your apple or android products.
The second tier trim is the Premium which started at around $52,600 this came with fancier more mainstream features such as a head up display, Bose performance enhanced speakers, heated second row seats, and HD surround vision.
The third and top tier trim is the Avenir trim which started around $58,900 and came with nicer 20 inch aluminum wheels, rainsense automatic wipers, power sliding moonroof, emergency braking, carpeted floors, and adaptive cruise control. The used Buick Enclave comes with luxury at a better price than alternatives and with the same amount of style.
