2026 Enclave : Upgrades, Technology, Features and More!
The 2026 Buick Enclave returns with confident steps. Although the redesign launched in 2025, Buick has polished the model heading into 2026. With a refined interior, bold technological upgrades, and competitive performance, this SUV feels fresher than ever. Here’s a closer look from trims to features to help you see whether the Enclave fits your next ride.
What’s New for 2026
Because the Enclave got a full redesign in 2025, the changes for 2026 are modest but smart. Buick adds two new exterior paint colours, Iridescent White and Stone Metallic. Also, the Avenir trim now offers a dual-tone Cool Gray and Mocha interior option and adds a rear-view camera mirror as standard. These tweaks keep the model fresh without altering the core that drivers loved in 2025.
Infotainment & Tech: Big Screen, Big Presence
One of the standout features of the 2026 Enclave is the ultrawide 30-inch diagonal premium display that spans navigation, media, and driver info. Buick also equips the model with Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance on Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir trims. On the higher end, Avenir benefits from HD Surround Vision, ambient lighting, and massaging seats. Connectivity includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and multiple USB ports throughout.
Exterior Design: Elegance Meets Sport
The 2026 model retains its bold, upscale styling with tweaks that sharpen its visual appeal. The row of crisp body lines, paired with updated grille elements, gives it a more assertive road presence. The Sport Touring (ST) trim features gloss black accents, a high-gloss black grille surround, and unique 20-inch wheels. The Avenir trim rides on exclusive 22-inch alloy wheels with a Pearl Nickel finish and adds luxury lighting and design touches to elevate the exterior. A panoramic sunroof is available to let in more light and open up the cabin feel.
Interior Comfort & Cargo Space
Inside, the Enclave is generous. It seats up to seven passengers, with premium materials and thoughtful touches throughout. Cargo space is competitive, and the third row folds down when needed. On the Avenir trim, you get heated second-row outboard seats, one-touch flat-folding/sliding second row, and power 60/40 power-folding third row. Comfort is amplified by ambient lighting, heated steering wheel, and the option for massaging front seats (on higher trims).
Engine, Performance & Efficiency
Under the hood, every 2026 Enclave uses a 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD) for all trims. Fuel economy is rated at 11.1 L/100 km combined. The Enclave’s ride is tuned for comfort, not sport, it’s described as sophisticated, composed, and calm on Canadian roads. If you opt for the optional Trailering package, towing capability is strengthened (with certain configurations).
Safety & Driver-Assist Features
Safety is a strong focus. The Enclave offers Front Pedestrian Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Keep Assist. In Avenir, HD Surround Vision and a rear view camera mirror boost visibility further. Many trims also include Adaptive Cruise Control with automatic braking and driver attention assist. The design’s safety also benefits from the robust structure carried forward from the 2025 redesign, which already had impressive safety credentials.

Why the 2026 Enclave Holds Its Ground
Because the major redesign happened in 2025, many features remain the same in 2026 which isn’t a drawback when the foundation is strong. The ultrawide digital display, suite of driver assists, refined styling, and powertrain all offer a compelling combination. The minor updates (new colours, dual-tone interior options) polish what’s already excellent. For buyers in and around Ottawa or the province of Ontario, the Enclave offers elegance and comfort that matches both urban drives and weekend escapes.
