All New Vehicles

The 2027 Buick Enclave is the largest and most sophisticated SUV in the Buick lineup, and it has landed here in Vero Beach. Three trims carry the badge: Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir. They share a platform, a cabin layout and a screen, so the question worth answering is not what the Enclave is. It is what moving up a trim actually buys you. Here is the breakdown, feature by verified feature.

What every 2027 Buick Enclave gives you

Start with what does not change across the lineup, because it is most of the vehicle.

Every Enclave is a three-row mid-size SUV seating up to seven, with second-row captain’s chairs and up to 97.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. Front-wheel-drive models carry an EPA-estimated 20 MPG city and 25 MPG highway.

Inside, an ultrawide 30-inch diagonal display runs the instrument cluster and touchscreen together. It carries Google built-in with Google Gemini, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. QuietTuning with Active Noise Cancellation works on road noise, and the Autosense power liftgate opens on its own when the key fob sits within three feet of the rear for three seconds.

The third row is the reason most families are here

Three rows are common. A third row adults can actually use is not.

The 60/40 split power-folding third-row bench comes standard on Avenir and is available on Preferred and Sport Touring. Available one-touch flat-folding and sliding second-row seats put activation switches on the seat sides, the seatbacks and in the cargo area, so you can drop a row without walking around the vehicle.

That matters more than a cargo number on a spec sheet. A school run and an airport pickup ask the seats to do different things, and one person can reconfigure it in seconds.

Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir in the 2027 Buick Enclave lineup

Here is where the three trims genuinely part ways.

Preferred is the entry point and carries the Bose 12-speaker premium audio system as standard. Sport Touring keeps that audio and adds its own exterior treatment, with High-Gloss Black accents on the grille surround, the inserts and the mirror caps.

Avenir sits at the top. It swaps in Bose 16-speaker performance audio, adds heated and ventilated front seats with a rolling massage feature at three intensity levels, and heats the second-row outboard seats. It also brings 22-inch alloy wheels in a Pearl Nickel finish and an exclusive exterior lighting animation that greets you on approach.

Super Cruise and the driver assistance stack

This is the single largest functional difference between the trims.

Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is standard on Avenir with a 3-year OnStar One plan, and available on Preferred and Sport Touring with the same plan. On compatible roads it handles the steering, and Lane Change On Demand can perform a single lane change when conditions allow. It does not work while trailering.

Available Driver Attention Assist watches for drowsiness. If it detects the driver has fallen asleep, it can slow the vehicle to a stop in its lane and call an OnStar Advisor. Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking operates between 5 and 50 mph, and Blind Zone Steering Assist rounds it out.

The honest version is that the choice is narrower than the brochure suggests. If the third row is occasional, Preferred covers it. If you want the same vehicle with a darker exterior signature, Sport Touring is that and little more. If long drives are routine, Avenir earns its place.
