2026 Buick Enclave in Georgetown, TX at Don Hewlett Buick
2026 Model Year · Preferred Trim
Enclave Preferred
Buick's three-row family SUV, built for Georgetown drivers who want seven-passenger room, a genuinely quiet cabin, and a 30-inch ultrawide display - all starting with the well-equipped Preferred trim.
The Smart Starting Point
In The Enclave Lineup
The 2026 Buick Enclave comes in three trims - Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir - all sharing the same 2.5L turbocharged engine, 8-speed automatic, and 5,000-lb towing capacity. Preferred is the trim most reviewers point to as the value pick: it already includes the 30-inch ultrawide display, 20-inch wheels, second-row captain's chairs, heated front seats, and tri-zone climate control most buyers assume they'd have to pay extra for.
Front-wheel drive is standard on every Enclave trim, with all-wheel drive available across the board for roughly $2,000 more. That means a Preferred buyer isn't locked out of AWD - they simply aren't paying for it unless they want it.

Trims, Pricing & MPG
How Preferred Compares
Across The Enclave Lineup
All three 2026 Enclave trims share the same 2.5L turbocharged engine and 8-speed automatic. Pricing and MPG below reflect front-wheel-drive configuration; adding available all-wheel drive raises MSRP by roughly $2,000 per trim and slightly lowers highway/combined MPG.
Starting MSRP shown excludes destination, taxes, title, license, dealer fees, and options. Enclave Preferred sits roughly $3,500 below Sport Touring and about $13,600 below Avenir at MSRP - a gap driven mainly by wheel design, interior materials, and audio/comfort upgrades rather than a different engine. Published pricing and EPA figures vary somewhat by source and change over the model year; contact Don Hewlett Buick for exact pricing and current window-sticker MPG on in-stock units.

| Preferred | $48,395 | 20 / 25 / 22 | Baseline trim - 30-in. ultrawide display, 20-in. chrome-look wheels, Bose 12-speaker audio, tri-zone climate, heated front seats, second-row captain's chairs, standard Trailering Package. |
| Sport Touring | $51,895 | 20 / 25 / 22 | Adds a black mesh grille, 20-in. gloss-black wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and dark-themed interior accents for a sportier look at the same core capability. |
| Avenir | $61,995 | 20 / 24 / 21 (AWD standard content) | Adds 22-in. Pearl Nickel wheels, quilted leather-appointed seating, ventilated/massaging front seats, heated second-row seats, a 16-speaker Bose Performance system, and a panoramic moonroof. |
