The 2022 Buick Enclave packs minivan-like space into a sleek and stylish SUV body. The Enclave provides the luxury, high-tech features, cargo space, and passenger seating that drivers need at a price that is affordable. A premium luxury three-row midsize SUV, the Enclave offers generous standard features and a high-end cabin environment that provides comfort, tranquillity, and performance for drivers in Canada.
Buick's largest SUV received a styling refresh for the 2022 model year, including an upscale exterior redesign and multiple advanced technology features. For those that have not seen a Buick in a decade or more, the automaker's name might conjure visions of boat-like sedans and vehicles driven by elderly neighbours. However, that is no longer the case. Buick's styling rivals other luxury automakers, and the mid-size Enclave and its modern look stand out from the crowd.
The 2022 Buick Enclave is available in three trim levels in Toronto and Canada: Essence, Premium, and Avenir. While features vary between models, each Enclave comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, leather-appointed first- and second-row seating, a heated steering wheel, a hands-free power liftgate, Buick Driver Confidence Plus technologies, and more.
The 2022 Buick Enclave is a premium, luxury, three-row mid-size SUV, and the update for the 2022 model year keeps it looking fresh. The curvy body lines of the Enclave are similar to the previous model year, but they are enhanced for a more definitive look. The Enclave also features a restyled front grille and bumpers, along with the addition of sleek LED headlights and taillights. New wheel designs are also available on the 2022 model, including exclusive 20-inch aluminum wheels with a pearl nickel finish for the top-level Avenir trim.
In its mid-cycle redesign, the 2022 Buick Enclave improved its cabin appearance in addition to its exterior design. A new center console features a brand-new push-button gear selector, which gives the cabin a more streamlined look. Every Buick Enclave offers seating capacity for up to seven passengers, making it an ideal family vehicle, and leather-appointed seating for the first two rows.
A few interior features differ by trim level. The Premium trim level adds in ventilated and massaging front seats, which are incredibly relaxing, as well as heated second-row seats. The Avenir adds a power moonroof and rear fixed skylight with a rear power sunshade.
The 2022 Buick Enclave is a mid-size SUV that has dimensions slightly larger than its competitors, but this is no cause for alarm. The Enclave features a 3.6-litre V6 engine under the hood that delivers 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque to more-than-adequately power the SUV in the city and on the highway. It pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission that is available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
The Enclave offers a well-damped suspension that delivers a luxurious ride that glides over bumpy asphalt with ease. The steering is crisp, and drivers will always feel confident and in control behind the wheel of the Enclave. The SUV also provides 2,267 kg of towing capability for those that want to make the best use of the Enclave's power.
Every 2022 Buick Enclave model comes standard with high-tech features for both enjoyment and safety. Nestled into the dashboard is the Enclave's standard 8.0-inch IntelliLink touchscreen infotainment system that is user-friendly and rendered with crisp graphics and an abundance of features. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard, as is a Wi-Fi hotspot. The standard audio system is clear, but there is an available Bose premium 10-speaker audio system available.
In terms of safety, the Enclave comes with Buick Driver Confidence Plus, which includes:
• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Following Distance Indicator
• Forward Collision Alert
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• IntelliBeam automatic high beams
• Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Rear Park Assist
The Enclave has a similar name to its smaller sibling, the Encore, but they are two very different vehicles. The 2022 Buick Encore is half the price of the Enclave, but it is significantly smaller and has fewer standard features. Here is a comparison between the two SUVs, showing the main differences between the Enclave and the Encore:
It is easy to see why the 2022 Buick Enclave is enjoyed by drivers and passengers alike. It is a premium mid-size SUV that has few direct competitors, as it is more upscale than mainstream SUVs but less expensive than luxury offerings. It offers useable space for seven passengers and plenty of standard features that make commutes, vacations, and daily errands more enjoyable.
