A Design That Honors Historic Streets and Modern Arts
The 2027 Buick Enclave wears a refined exterior that fits naturally alongside Lancaster’s blend of preserved 18th-century architecture and a growing contemporary arts scene. Its sculpted body stretches 207.6 inches in overall length, stands 71 inches tall, and spans 79.6 inches wide — proportions that give it a commanding road presence without feeling oversized in tighter downtown environments.
Across the trims covered here, the exterior character changes meaningfully:
- The Preferred wears chrome and bright trim around the side windows, on the bumpers, and along the body sides — a classically upscale treatment that suits the Enclave’s near-luxury positioning.
- The Sport Touring takes a different direction, replacing that chrome with black window trim and black roof rails for a more contemporary, assertive look that reads well against both historic brick streetscapes and modern glass-and-steel settings.
- The Avenir adds a panoramic roof with an electrically operated sunshade as standard equipment, while the Preferred offers a sunroof as an available option.
- All trims ride on alloy wheels — 20-inch units on the Preferred and Sport Touring, stepping up to 22-inch alloys on the Avenir — and the Avenir and Sport Touring trim levels can be optioned with 22-inch PVD Bright Chrome or High Gloss Black dealer-installed wheels for added visual distinction.
- Six exterior colors are available across the lineup: Ebony Twilight Metallic, Cherry Red Tintcoat, Moonstone Gray Metallic, Iridescent White Tricoat Pearl, Emerald Green Metallic, and Blue Onyx. The metallic and tricoat finishes photograph beautifully against Lancaster’s historic downtown backdrop.

How Capable is the 2027 Buick Enclave?
Every 2027 Buick Enclave is powered by the same turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine producing 327 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque. That output is substantial for a family crossover of this size, delivering confident acceleration for merging onto highway ramps and maintaining comfortable speed on the gently rolling roads that connect Lancaster’s urban core to the surrounding farmland.
The key difference across the trim lineup is transmission and drivetrain. Front-wheel drive trims pair the engine with an automatic 8-speed transmission, while AWD trims use the Hydra-Matic automatic with AWD engagement. The Hydra-Matic on AWD models also features a manual mode, giving drivers more direct control when desired.
For most Lancaster-area driving — city streets, school runs, weekend trips to Amish country — the front-wheel drive configuration handles the region’s flat-to-gently-rolling terrain with ease. The AWD variants add traction confidence during wet Pennsylvania winters or on unpaved rural lanes, and the added curb weight of AWD models (4,733 lbs versus 4,537 lbs on FWD) reflects the drivetrain hardware rather than any meaningful loss of agility.
The suspension uses an independent strut setup at the front and a multi-link independent rear — a configuration that keeps the ride composed over Lancaster’s mix of city pavement and country roads without feeling stiff on longer highway stretches.
Keeping your Enclave running at its best is straightforward when you use genuine OEM parts through Jack Giambalvo Buick GMC’s parts department, ensuring every service maintains the factory specifications that make this drivetrain as reliable as it is capable.
How Spacious is the 2027 Buick Enclave?
The 2027 Buick Enclave seats seven passengers across all trims in a 2+2+3 configuration — two bucket seats up front, two captain’s chairs in the second row, and a split-bench third row accommodating three. That layout makes it genuinely practical for multigenerational family outings, school carpools, or packing in the full household for a weekend scenic drive.
Front headroom measures 41.2 inches with the panoramic roof equipped (Avenir), and front legroom reaches 44.3 inches — both generous figures that allow taller drivers to settle in without compromise. Second-row passengers enjoy 41.5 inches of legroom and 38.2 inches of headroom, while third-row occupants get 32.1 inches of legroom and 38.5 inches of headroom — workable for children and shorter adults on trips of reasonable length.
Shoulder room is equally accommodating: 62.2 inches up front, 62.1 inches in the second row, and 57.8 inches in the third row — numbers that mean three adults across the third bench won’t feel squeezed on a drive out to the countryside.
Cargo space behind the third row measures about 23 cu ft — enough for a full haul from Lancaster Central Market, sports bags, or a weekend’s worth of luggage. Fold everything flat and that figure expands to about 97.5 cu ft, turning the Enclave into a genuinely versatile hauler for larger loads.
Interior trim quality steps up meaningfully across the lineup. The Preferred uses leatherette seating in Ebony or Sandstone, while the Avenir upgrades to quilted and perforated leather-appointed seats available in Ebony or Cool Gray with contrasting interior accents. All trims feature woodgrain and alloy interior trim on the instrument panel, doors, and center console, along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Three-zone automatic climate control is standard across the lineup, with rear controls and secondary ventilation outlets serving second-row passengers.

What Technology Does the 2027 Enclave Have?
The 2027 Buick Enclave centers its technology experience around a 30-inch panoramic display that spans from the driver instrument cluster through the center infotainment screen — a single sweeping screen architecture that keeps navigation, media, and vehicle information in one cohesive visual field. The infotainment portion is touch-controlled and includes an 8-inch navigation display with satellite view, internet-connected traffic data, and map updates covered for 96 months.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard across all trims, so Lancaster families can connect their phones without hunting for a cable during the school drop-off rush.
- Google built-in voice assistant support is also standard, allowing hands-free control of navigation, music, and communications.
- Bluetooth connectivity and a wireless charging pad round out the connectivity picture for front-seat occupants.
- USB charging is distributed thoughtfully throughout the cabin: 2 ports up front, 2 in the second row, and 2 in the third row — meaning every passenger has access to power on longer drives.
- A 12V outlet in the cargo area adds flexibility for accessories.
- The OnStar telematics system is standard across all trims, with a 36-month subscription included at the base level.
- Avenir buyers gain access to OnStar One with the available Super Cruise Package, which extends the telematics subscription to 96 months and unlocks hands-free highway driving capability.
- The embedded Wi-Fi hotspot connects up to the vehicle’s SIM card, and a 36-month data subscription is included on Avenir trims.
- SiriusXM satellite radio comes with a 3-month trial subscription standard across all trims, with an optional 3-year subscription available for buyers who want to extend coverage.
- The Avenir’s 16-speaker Bose audio system with subwoofer is a meaningful step up from the 12-speaker Bose system on Preferred and Sport Touring trims — both are capable, but the Avenir’s setup delivers noticeably richer sound for music enthusiasts.
- A head-up display is standard on the Avenir, and available via the Power Package on Preferred, Preferred AWD, Sport Touring, and Sport Touring AWD trims.
- Traffic sign recognition is also included in the Super Cruise Package on trims where that option is available.
Safety Built for Protecting Your Family on City and Country Roads
Every 2027 Buick Enclave across the Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir lineup comes equipped with a comprehensive set of standard active and passive safety features that protect all three rows of passengers. The airbag count stands at 7 total, covering front driver and passenger airbags, front and rear side airbags, and side curtain airbags that extend across all three rows — meaningful protection for the third-row passengers who are often children.
All three-point seatbelts are standard throughout, including a center 3-point belt in the third row. Front seatbelts include pre-tensioners and height adjustment for both driver and passenger positions. LATCH child-seat anchors are also standard.
The active safety suite is consistent across all trims and includes:
- Forward Collision Alert — activates from as low as 5 mph, providing visual and acoustic warnings and automatic emergency braking at low speeds
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) — radar-based detection of crossing traffic when reversing, particularly useful in busy parking areas
- Side Blind Zone Alert — monitors adjacent lanes and alerts the driver to vehicles in blind spots
- Lane Departure Warning — provides steering correction inputs when the vehicle drifts without a turn signal
The parking assistance system is thorough: HD Surround Vision provides a 360-degree camera view with front and rear sensors, and Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist adds audio cues when approaching obstacles. All trims also include guidance display overlays for both front and rear parking maneuvers.
The Avenir and Avenir AWD carry one additional distinction in the safety data: millimeter-wave distance and object sensing technology that is not present on the Preferred or Sport Touring trims. The Super Cruise Package, available on all trims, adds driver monitoring, full automated parking capability (perpendicular, parallel, and exit), and the level-2 partial automation highway driving system — raising the Enclave’s driver-assistance ceiling considerably for buyers who cover long highway miles.
NHTSA crash test results confirm the Enclave’s structural integrity: a 5-star overall rating, 5-star frontal crash rating, 5-star side impact rating, and a 4-star rollover rating.

Frequently Asked Questions from Buyers About the 2027 Buick Enclave
Q: Is the 2027 Buick Enclave a good fit for a family that needs seven seats regularly?
Yes — the Enclave is designed around genuine seven-passenger utility, not just a technical seat count. The 2+2+3 configuration puts captain’s chairs in the second row and a split bench in the third, with 32.1 inches of third-row legroom and 38.5 inches of headroom. That’s workable for children and shorter adults on regular trips. All three rows include 3-point seatbelts and LATCH anchors are standard. For families doing school carpools, market runs, or weekend drives, the Enclave handles those scenarios with real comfort across all three rows.
Q: What is the fuel economy difference between FWD and AWD trims?
The difference is meaningful over time. Front-wheel drive trims — Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir — return 20 city / 27 highway / 23 combined MPG. The AWD versions of those same trims drop to 19 city / 24 highway / 21 combined MPG. For a family covering 15,000 miles annually, that 2 MPG combined difference adds up to a noticeable fuel cost gap over the course of a year. Buyers who don’t regularly encounter slippery conditions may find the FWD trims deliver the better value proposition.
Q: Does the 2027 Enclave offer hands-free highway driving?
Yes, but it’s not standard — it requires the Super Cruise Package, which is available on all trims. The Super Cruise system is a level-2 partial automation system that handles steering, braking, and acceleration on mapped highway sections while monitoring driver attention. It also includes automated parking capability for perpendicular, parallel, and exit maneuvers, plus traffic sign recognition and intelligent speed assistance. It’s one of the most capable driver-assistance systems available in this segment.
Q: How does the Sport Touring differ from the Preferred beyond the exterior styling?
The Sport Touring and Preferred share the same powertrain, seating, cargo space, and core safety suite. The Sport Touring’s most visible distinction is its black exterior trim package — black window surrounds, black roof rails, and a sportier overall appearance versus the chrome and bright trim on the Preferred. Both trims start with the same base feature content and have access to the same Power Package and Super Cruise Package upgrades. The Sport Touring is positioned above the Preferred is essentially a style premium for buyers who prefer the darker, more contemporary exterior treatment.
