A three-row SUV needs to balance several priorities at once. It has to provide comfortable seating for family trips, enough cargo space for everyday errands, useful performance for highway travel and technology that makes longer drives easier. The 2027 Buick Enclave approaches that challenge with a premium interior, seven-passenger seating, a 328-horsepower turbocharged engine and a wide selection of driver-assistance technologies.
For drivers in Kemptville and surrounding Eastern Ontario communities, that combination makes the Enclave an appealing option for everything from weekday commuting to family road trips toward Ottawa, Kingston or the Thousand Islands.
The current generation was introduced for 2025, so Buick has not completely redesigned the SUV for 2027. Instead, this model year brings several targeted updates that make the existing package more appealing, particularly in technology and the top Avenir trim.
What's New for the 2027 Buick Enclave?
The most significant change is the increased availability of advanced technology. Google Gemini is now standard across the Enclave lineup, bringing Google's newer AI assistant into the vehicle's built-in Google system. The ultrawide 30-inch diagonal display remains one of the cabin's signature features, giving the driver and front passenger a broad digital interface for vehicle information, navigation and entertainment.
The Avenir receives an even more important upgrade: Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is now standard. Previously, the technology was available through a package. The system can provide hands-free assistance on compatible roads, making it particularly useful for long highway journeys. Super Cruise availability remains optional on the Preferred and Sport Touring models.
The 2027 model also adds new camera-based features, including Surround Vision Recorder, Cabin Glance and Security Recording. These additions expand the role of the SUV's camera system beyond basic parking assistance and visibility.
Styling choices have also been refreshed. New exterior colour choices include Blue Onyx and Emerald Green Metallic, while the Avenir can be specified with a new Cool Gray and Twilight Ash interior combination. New wheel designs include a 20-inch design and an Avenir-exclusive 22-inch wheel with Pearl Nickel finish.
Infotainment and Technology
The interior's most noticeable technology remains the 30-inch ultrawide display. Rather than separating the instrument and infotainment areas into several small screens, Buick uses a broad display to create a more unified digital environment.
For 2027, Google built-in technology with Gemini gives the system an updated voice-assistance experience. Wireless smartphone integration, navigation and connected services help keep the cabin useful during daily driving and longer Ontario road trips.
The vehicle also provides an available head-up display, wireless phone charging and OnStar connected services. Depending on trim and equipment, the audio system ranges from a Bose Premium 12-speaker system to a Bose Performance 16-speaker system with subwoofer in the Avenir.
For families, the technology is about more than entertainment. Camera views, connected services and available hands-free driving assistance can make a long trip more manageable, while the large display gives the cabin a distinctly modern character.
Exterior Design: Sophisticated With a Sportier Edge
The Enclave's exterior continues the modern design introduced with the third generation. Its broad, low grille, slim lighting elements and sculpted bodywork give the SUV a more substantial presence without making the design overly aggressive.
The three trims take different approaches to the styling. The Preferred focuses on a refined appearance, while Sport Touring adds gloss-black exterior accents, a high-gloss black grille and machine-finished wheels with black pockets. Its flat-bottom steering wheel carries the sportier theme into the cabin.
The Avenir takes the luxury approach with its exclusive grille treatment and larger 22-inch Pearl Nickel-finish wheels. The new 2027 wheel design gives the top trim an even more distinctive appearance.
For Kemptville drivers, the Enclave's styling is complemented by practical features such as a power liftgate and available panoramic power sunroof. These details make the SUV feel equally suited to a business commute or a family weekend away.
Interior Comfort and Cargo Space
The cabin is designed around three rows and seating for up to seven passengers. That gives the Enclave the flexibility expected from a family-oriented SUV while retaining a premium atmosphere.
The Avenir is particularly focused on comfort. Its equipment includes quilted and perforated leather-appointed seating, heated and ventilated massaging front seats, heated second-row outboard seats and one-touch flat-folding and sliding second-row seats. The third row can be power folded in a 60/40 split configuration.
The floating centre console is another practical element. It creates additional storage while giving the front cabin a more open appearance. For everyday Ontario life, that space can be useful for keeping phones, keys, drinks and other small items within easy reach.
With the third row folded, the Enclave can accommodate considerably larger cargo, making it useful for home-improvement purchases, sports equipment, luggage and other bulky items. Its seven-seat configuration also means you can carry more passengers without moving into a much larger full-size SUV.
Engine and Performance
All Canadian configurations use the same 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It produces 328 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 326 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
That output gives the SUV enough muscle for everyday acceleration, highway merging and passing. The turbocharged engine's torque is particularly useful when the vehicle is carrying several passengers or cargo.
Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations are available depending on the Canadian configuration. Fuel consumption for the AWD model is listed at approximately 12.1 L/100 km city and 9.9 L/100 km highway.
When properly equipped with the available trailering equipment, the Enclave can tow up to 5,000 pounds. The package adds equipment such as a trailer hitch, heavy-duty engine cooling, Hitch Guidance and Hitch View. That gives the SUV additional versatility for recreational equipment, small trailers and other towing needs.
The available premium suspension with Continuous Damping Control can also adjust suspension characteristics to help balance ride comfort and control. Driver Mode Control and Tow/Haul mode allow the vehicle to be adapted to different driving situations.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The 2027 Enclave places considerable emphasis on driver assistance. Standard and available technologies include Forward Collision Alert, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking with Bicyclist Detection, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Braking and Side Bicyclist Alert.
The available Super Cruise system is particularly notable. On compatible roads and when conditions are appropriate, it can assist with steering, braking and acceleration without requiring the driver to keep their hands on the wheel. It is still a driver-assistance system, so the driver must remain attentive and ready to take control.
The 2025 Enclave earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation for vehicles built after January 2025, and the model also appears as a 2026 IIHS Top Safety Pick. These results provide useful context for the current generation's safety performance, although shoppers should always check the rating applicable to the exact model year and vehicle configuration.
Buick Enclave Awards: 2023–2026
The Enclave's recent award history is more limited than its overall reputation might suggest, particularly because the current generation arrived for 2025.
For 2023 and 2024, Buick's official awards information does not identify a major Enclave-specific award comparable to the model's later IIHS recognition. Buick did, however, receive broader brand recognition during this period, including J.D. Power's recognition for sales experience. Those awards apply to the Buick brand rather than specifically to the Enclave.
The significant model-specific recognition arrived with the redesigned generation. The 2025 Buick Enclave earned IIHS Top Safety Pick+, applying to vehicles built after January 2025. The model also appears on the 2026 IIHS Top Safety Pick list for midsize SUVs.
This distinction is important: not every Buick or Enclave-related accolade from 2023–2026 is an award specifically given to the Enclave, so broader Buick awards should not be presented as Enclave-specific honours.

The 2027 Enclave does not attempt to reinvent a vehicle that was already redesigned for 2025. Instead, Buick has made targeted improvements where they matter: Google Gemini becomes standard, the Avenir gains standard Super Cruise, new camera functions expand vehicle awareness, and fresh colours and wheel designs add personalization.
Underneath, the formula remains strong. The 2.5-litre turbocharged engine produces 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, while the three-row cabin provides the space needed for family transportation. Available AWD, towing capability and winter-friendly features further suit the needs of Ontario drivers.
