In this blog, we’ll break down the various 2024 Enclave trim levels you’ll find at your local Buick dealer to see what makes them tick and why it might be the vehicle you’ve been searching for.
Introducing the 2024 Buick Enclave
The 2024 Buick Enclave has three trims, each offering your choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. In addition, each of the three trims has a standard 3.6L V6 engine with a nine-speed transmission. This transmission also comes equipped with start-stop technology to assist with fuel efficiency, which is estimated at a combined 21 MPG for front-wheel drive and 20 MPG for the all-wheel drive option. In addition, you’ll find traction control as a standard across the line. This StabiliTrak system automatically enhances your control by adjusting the brakes and torque to help you stay on the road. It does this by sensing what your intended path is in relation to the direction the vehicle is traveling. This system also includes detection for wheel slippage and applies the brakes or reduces engine power when needed to help you stay in control.
As mentioned above, the 2024 Buick Enclave seats up to seven people and offers you a maximum cargo space of 97.4 cu.ft., which is perfect if you’re planning a road trip or simply heading to the grocery store. Also worth mentioning is the addition of QuietTuning Technology and Active Noise Cancellation, which help you hear the conversation even in the back of the Enclave, so you always feel in touch with your passengers.
Safety Across All Trims
In addition to providing you with a luxury vehicle at an affordable price point, the 2024 Buick Enclave also wraps you with standard driver assistance safety features that are some of the most advanced in the industry. A few of these are detailed below.
Automatic Emergency Braking

Following Distance Indicator
Whether your daily drive involves a commute into the city or you want the added security of knowing you’re following at a safe distance, this system helps you maintain a certain space between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert

The Buick Enclave Essence
Essence is the base Enclave, offered in both all-wheel and front-wheel drive, as mentioned. It comes standard with three years of OnStar Remote Access, allowing you to stop or start your vehicle when you’re not in it, as well as check your fuel levels and tire pressure. You can also get diagnostic information and more from the 4.2-inch color Driver Information Center.
In addition, you’ll enjoy easy access to your favorite apps when your phone is connected through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Your apps and other functions are displayed on an eight-inch color touchscreen infotainment system that is front and center on the dash. This infotainment system also gives you access to Bluetooth streaming, USB ports to store audio files, an auxiliary jack, and SiriEyesFree with Natural Voice Recognition so you can keep your eyes on the road.
You’ll also love the standard heated driver and passenger seats, as well as the heated steering wheel for chilly mornings. In addition, the eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat gives you support no matter how far your destination is, while your front seat passenger can also relax thanks to the six-way power adjustable seat. Finally, you can get the most out of your cargo space with the manual 60/40 split-folding third-row bench seat and keep the cargo safe by utilizing the rear cargo area covered storage, giving you an additional 3.1 cu.ft.
The Buick Enclave Premium
In the middle of the pack is the Premium level, giving you many of the same great features the Essence trim offers. Beyond those features, you’ll also enjoy a 120-volt power outlet for working on the go or for any other reason that you might need additional power. You’ll also enjoy the Bose performance-enhance premium ten-speaker system for listening to your favorite playlist or podcast, as well as an eight-inch infotainment system that includes navigation.
Your safety is also enhanced when choosing the Premium level. While the Essence offers you an HD Rear Vision Camera, you’ll enjoy HD Surround Vision when choosing the Premium version. This option gives you selectable camera views around the entire perimeter of your Enclave, giving you the assistance you need to avoid other vehicles and objects while parking, as well as providing detailed guidelines for added confidence.
Also, while you and your front-seat passenger can enjoy extra warmth on chilly mornings, your passengers can also get this benefit with the 2024 Buick Enclave Premium. In addition, you can recall up to two driver presets for your power seat, outside mirrors, and steering column. Finally, your comfort level is kicked into high gear with the standard four-way power lumbar with massage feature driver and front-passenger seats.
The Buick Enclave Avenir
Last but not least, the top-of-the-line Avenir takes everything great about the first two trim levels and adds features that will make you wonder how you ever lived without your Enclave. These perks start with the standard three years of OnStar Premium, offering additional perks to the base plan, such as the OnStar Guardian app. In addition, the Avenir includes safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, helping you stay with the flow of traffic while maintaining a safe gap between you and the cars in front of you.
