The 2025 Buick Enclave comes with a brand-new 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque-a powerful setup paired with a smooth nine-speed automatic transmission. This engine significantly outperforms the 2025 Toyota Highlander (265 hp / 310 lb-ft) and the 2025 Kia Telluride (291 hp / 262 lb-ft). The Enclave also offers available all-wheel drive with driver-selectable modes for snow, sport, and trailer duty, so you get both power and adaptability for any condition.
