Buick Enclave Performance Overview
Buick’s three-row Enclave has been tracked across 15 verified tests spanning 2008 to 2026, showing a steady shift from slower full-size crossover pace to quicker modern family-hauler performance. The first generation (2008–2017) used naturally aspirated gasoline V6 power, with output rising from 275 to 288 hp. Early results were modest: the 2008 CXL needed 9.0 seconds to reach 60 mph, while the slowest recorded example, a 2008 CXL, ran 9.2 seconds. By 2011, the CXL-2 improved to 8.4 seconds, and the first generation’s best came with the 2016 Premium at 7.9 seconds.
The second generation, introduced for 2018, brought a clear step forward. Initially still naturally aspirated and later expanded to include turbocharged gasoline power, it has covered a 310–328 hp range and lowered the model’s average substantially. The 2018 Avenir cut 0-60 to 6.6 seconds, and the current benchmark remains the 2022 Avenir’s 6.5-second run, which also produced the Enclave’s quickest quarter-mile at 15.0 seconds at 94 mph. Today, the Enclave sits as a gasoline-only model with tested second-generation trims including Sport Touring, Essence ST, and Avenir, operating in the mid-6- to low-7-second range.
