To get things started, I saw a few of the Buicks introduced in 2024 and have been truly impressed with their new vision going forward into this year, and beyond. This all-new 2025 Buick Enclave Avenir combines luxury, cutting-edge technology, and evident priority to futuristic styling shows this automaker is not holding back. Categorized in the midsize SUV segment, anyone driving or riding in this new automobile will proudly notice the head turning the Avenir generates followed by the wonderment Buick used in past ad campaigns. Yes, it is a Buick!
Under the hood, the Avenir flexes a 2.5-liter turbo engine with 8-speed transmission that maxes out at 328 horsepower and 326 lb.-ft. of torque and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The power is more than adequate, while still delivering a decent 27 miles per gallon on highway excursions.
Inside, I was welcomed by multicolor ambient interior lighting I could customize, which would lead to literally highlighting the spacious seven-passenger cabin. The seats -- presented in cool gray leather -- come heated and ventilated, plus the front row gets four-way lumbar support and massage options. The steering wheel also comes with a heated option, plus tri-zone automatic climate control. More pampering includes wireless charging, and a 16-speaker Bose audio system complete with stainless-steel grilles inside the doors.
Tech gets a thumbs up as well, with Wi-Fi, wireless charging, and numerous safety features. The HD Surround vision, traffic sign recognition, driver attention assist, enhanced intersection automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, rear pedestrian alert, blind zone steering assist, a rear camera washer, and OnStar collectively boost confidence for those behind the wheel. The optional Super Cruise Package ($3,730) is truly a game-changer, introducing hands-free driving assistance, enhanced automatic parking, and a rear camera mirror.
With its premium features, family-friendly amenities, and state-of-the-art safety system, the 2025 Enclave Avenir is undoubtedly a standout in its class. For those seeking a midsize SUV that blends luxury and practicality, the Enclave Avenir is one of the brilliant highlights of Buick's promising future.
