Every Buick SUV Model Explained — Envista, Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave at Linus Buick GMC

All New Vehicles

Four Buick SUV models, four completely different value propositions — the Envista, Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave exist side by side in the lineup without significant overlap, which makes the choice clearer than expected once the specs are laid out. At Linus Buick GMC in Vero Beach, all four Buick SUV models are represented for Treasure Coast buyers from Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, and Melbourne — spanning a price range from the mid-$20s to over $55,000.

This guide covers each model’s engine, drivetrain, seating configuration, and trim structure so buyers can arrive at the dealership knowing which direction they’re heading. Buick’s QuietTuning cabin refinement is a consistent thread across all four models, but the differences in power, size, and capability are meaningful enough to drive the decision entirely.

Buick Envista — The Entry-Level Buick SUV Model

The Envista is Buick’s smallest and most affordable SUV. A turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine delivers 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque through a 6-speed automatic, driving the front wheels only — the Envista does not offer AWD in the North American market. Three trims are available: Preferred, Sport Touring, and the premium Avenir. Every trim includes an 11-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and with 42 cubic feet of cargo capacity when the rear seat is folded, it handles daily carry without issue.

At Linus Buick GMC, the 2026 Envista Sport Touring is in stock starting at $29,029. Browse the current Buick inventory at Linus Automotive to check availability and pricing before visiting.

Buick Encore GX — Compact Size with Available AWD

The Encore GX adds one capability the Envista doesn’t offer: all-wheel drive. Two engine configurations are available — a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder (137 hp, 162 lb-ft) paired with a CVT for FWD models, and a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder producing 155 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque paired with a 9-speed automatic in both FWD and AWD configurations. The AWD version is the practical choice for buyers who want a compact footprint without sacrificing traction on wet roads or mixed terrain.

Three trim levels — Preferred, ST, and Avenir — run from well-equipped entry to near-premium. The Encore GX occupies the space between the Envista and Envision on both price and feature count, making it the right call when compact dimensions matter but FWD-only is a limitation.

Buick Envision — Mid-Size Buick SUV with Turbocharged Four-Cylinder Power

The Envision is where the Buick SUV lineup makes a clear powertrain jump. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder produces 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque — paired with a 9-speed automatic — in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations. On a 109.4-inch wheelbase, it accommodates five passengers in a noticeably more spacious cabin than either the Envista or Encore GX.

Four trim levels are available — Preferred, Essence, Avenir, and a base configuration — covering a range from competently equipped to premium. The Avenir trim delivers Buick’s most thorough refinement package before crossing into Enclave territory: full leather, advanced driver assistance technology, and the brand’s full QuietTuning acoustic treatment. For buyers who need a mid-size footprint with genuine two-row versatility and meaningfully more power, the Envision is the logical step up.

Buick Enclave — The Full-Size Three-Row Buick SUV Model

The Enclave stands apart from every other Buick SUV model in three ways: it’s the only three-row vehicle in the lineup, it carries the most powerful engine, and it earned IIHS Top Safety Pick+ recognition — the first Buick ever to achieve that distinction. A turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder delivers 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic. At 207.6 inches in length on a 120.9-inch wheelbase, the Enclave accommodates up to seven passengers across three rows.

Interior technology is also in a different class: a 30-inch ultra-wide display spans both the instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen, and Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is available — capabilities that don’t appear anywhere else in the Buick lineup. Trims are Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir. At Linus Buick GMC in Vero Beach, the 2026 Enclave is in stock: Preferred starts at $48,395 and Sport Touring at $46,627. For buyers who regularly carry full passenger loads or prioritize premium safety technology, the Enclave delivers the most complete package in the Buick SUV range.

Which Buick SUV Model Is Right for You? — Find All Four at Linus Buick GMC

The four Buick SUV models break down clearly by use case:

Envista: Compact, FWD, lowest price point — the right call for urban driving and daily commuting where a small footprint and easy parking matter most.
Encore GX: Compact with available AWD — adds traction capability without growing the vehicle’s footprint or price significantly.
Envision: Mid-size, 228 hp, FWD or AWD — the right balance of passenger space, power, and drivetrain flexibility for most buyers.
Enclave: Full-size, three-row, 328 hp, IIHS Top Safety Pick+ — the choice when passenger count, maximum power, or advanced technology leads the decision.
