2027 Enclave Features Review in Akron, OH

2027 Buick Enclave

Three Rows of Comfort: The 2027 Buick Enclave in Akron, OH

The 2027 Buick Enclave brings three-row space to the comfort-focused end of Buick's SUV lineup. It gives households, carpools, and traveling groups a cabin built around quieter conversations, flexible seating, and technology that reduces daily effort. For shoppers researching the 2027 Buick Enclave in Akron, OH, VanDevere Buick is a starting point for comparing its three trims:

  • Preferred
  • Sport Touring
  • Avenir

The Preferred emphasizes everyday comfort, the Sport Touring adds darker styling, and the Avenir layers in leather-appointed seating and additional amenities. All share one turbocharged engine, so choosing a trim is more about the experience inside than chasing a different powertrain. Explore the 2027 Buick Enclave at VanDevere Buick in Akron, OH, and schedule a test drive to experience its spacious interior, refined comfort, and advanced features firsthand.

Interior Specs and Features

QuietTuning® with Active Noise Cancellation gives the Enclave’s cabin a distinctly Buick priority: keeping noise from dominating the trip. Second-row captain’s chairs create individual seating spaces, while the right-side Pitch Slide seat helps passengers reach the third row.

Interior Dimensions

  • Seating capacity: Seven in a 2-2-3 arrangement
  • Cargo behind the third row: 22.9 cubic feet
  • Cargo with the third row folded: 57.1 cubic feet
  • Cargo with both rear rows folded: 97.5 cubic feet
  • Legroom, first/second/third rows: 44.29/41.46/32.13 inches
  • Headroom with the sunroof, first/second/third rows: 41.18/38.19/38.54 inches

Keep all three rows upright for passenger duty, or fold the third row when luggage takes priority. Folding both rear rows opens space for bulkier purchases without changing vehicles.

Interior Highlights

  • Preferred and Sport Touring upholstery: Leatherette and perforated leatherette, respectively
  • Avenir upholstery: Quilted and perforated leather-appointed seats
  • Standard comfort: Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and tri-zone automatic climate control
  • Avenir seating: Ventilated and massaging front seats, plus heated second-row outboard seats
  • Folding-seat upgrades: One-touch flat-folding second-row seats and a power-folding third row, standard on the Avenir and available through the Power Package on the other trims
  • Everyday utility: Underfloor rear cargo storage and LATCH child-restraint anchors and tethers

Separate climate settings let front and rear passengers adjust their surroundings. The folding-seat upgrades are worth comparing if your week regularly switches between carrying people and loading equipment.

Exterior Design

The Enclave pairs a broad grille and long roofline with trim-specific finishes. The Sport Touring uses a high-gloss black grille, moldings, and roof rails; the Avenir takes a more detailed approach with animated lighting and bright exterior accents.

Exterior Dimensions

  • Overall length: 207.6 inches
  • Width: 79.6 inches at the body; 87.87 inches with mirrors
  • Overall height: 70.98 inches
  • Wheelbase: 120.93 inches

Check garage depth and mirror clearance before bringing home a three-row SUV. These measurements are more useful for that decision than judging its size from photographs.

Exterior Highlights

  • Preferred wheels: 20-inch alloys with Medium Android Finish
  • Sport Touring wheels: 20-inch alloys with High Gloss Black and Machine Finish
  • Avenir wheels: 22-inch alloys with Avenir Pearl Nickel Finish
  • Standard convenience: AutoSense hands-free power programmable liftgate and heated, power-folding outside mirrors
  • Avenir roof: Standard panoramic power sunroof; available on other trims with required equipment

The power liftgate reduces effort during loading, while folding mirrors help when parking beside another vehicle in a narrow garage. Compare wheel choices alongside appearance preferences during a test drive.

Exterior Paint Options

  • Iridescent White Tricoat
  • Summit White
  • Ebony Twilight Metallic
  • Stone Metallic
  • Cherry Red Tintcoat
  • Moonstone Gray Metallic
  • Emerald Green Metallic
  • Blue Onyx

Summit White is unavailable on the Avenir, Stone Metallic is limited to the Sport Touring, and Blue Onyx is limited to the Avenir. Emerald Green Metallic is unavailable on the Sport Touring. Additional paint charges vary by color and trim.

Power and Performance

The Enclave’s shared powertrain keeps the shopping decision straightforward. Every trim uses turbocharged power, while drivetrain and suspension choices let you tailor traction and ride control to your priorities.

Engines and Powertrains

  • Engine: 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with direct injection and variable valve timing
  • Horsepower: 328 at 5,500 rpm
  • Torque: 326 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm

That output serves the Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir alike. You can choose your preferred cabin finish without sacrificing the lineup’s engine performance.

Transmission and Drivetrain

  • Transmission: Eight-speed automatic
  • Standard drivetrain: Front-wheel drive across all trims
  • Available drivetrain: All-Wheel Drive System with Driver Select across all trims

Available AWD is worth considering for changing northeast Ohio road conditions. It supports traction but does not replace suitable tires, safe speeds, or attentive driving.

Towing, Payload, and Capability

The Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir each have a maximum trailer rating of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped and loaded. The standard Trailering Package includes heavy-duty engine cooling, a trailer hitch, Hitch Guidance, and Hitch View. Passengers, cargo, and optional equipment reduce the trailer weight the vehicle can tow, so check the exact vehicle’s limits against a trailer’s loaded weight before planning a trip.

Driving Experience and Efficiency

  • Preferred and Sport Touring suspension: Performance suspension
  • Avenir suspension: Premium Ride suspension with continuously variable real-time damping
  • Engine management: Automatic Stop/Start with an override

The Avenir’s damping system makes ride control another reason to compare trims in person. Try familiar streets and highway sections rather than evaluating comfort only during a short drive around the block.

Technology Features

The Enclave combines a wide digital interface with controls and connections for passengers throughout the cabin. Its technology story is less about collecting separate screens and more about keeping navigation, entertainment, and everyday vehicle tasks accessible.

Displays and Infotainment

  • Main display: Standard customizable 30-inch diagonal screen
  • Built-in functions: Google built-in featuring Google Gemini, navigation capability, and connected apps
  • Personalization: Driver profiles and Natural Voice Recognition

Profiles help different drivers return to familiar settings, while voice controls provide another way to request information. Connected features depend on applicable service and connectivity requirements.

Connectivity and Convenience

  • Phone integration: Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for compatible phones
  • Charging: Standard wireless phone charging and six USB ports distributed across three rows
  • Audio: Bose® Premium 12-speaker system on the Preferred and Sport Touring; Bose Performance 16-speaker system on the Avenir
  • Power Package displays: Head-Up Display and Rear Camera Mirror, standard on the Avenir and available on the other trims

Rear USB access helps passengers keep devices charged without passing cables forward. The camera mirror offers a different rearward view when passengers or cargo obstruct the conventional mirror.

Safety Review

The Enclave combines collision-alert and braking systems with visibility aids. Driver-assistance features support an attentive driver; they do not replace observation or control, and performance depends on conditions.

Driver-Assistance Technology

  • Standard forward assistance: Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
  • Standard surrounding-traffic assistance: Blind Zone Steering Assist, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking
  • Standard cruise assistance: Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Super Cruise®: Standard on the Avenir and available through the Super Cruise Package on the Preferred and Sport Touring

These systems address different traffic situations, from following vehicles to crossing traffic. Super Cruise permits hands-free assistance only on compatible roads under applicable conditions; driver attention and an active plan or trial are required. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning applies to Preferred and Sport Touring configurations without the Super Cruise Package.

Parking, Visibility, and Vehicle Safety

  • Standard camera coverage: HD Surround Vision
  • Standard rearward assistance: Reverse Automatic Braking and Rear Pedestrian Alert
  • Parking equipment: Rear Park Assist on the Preferred and Sport Touring without the Super Cruise Package; Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist with that package and on the Avenir
  • Camera views and parking assistance: Assess nearby obstacles, but always check the surroundings yourself before maneuvering
