EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a 2026 Buick Enclave Avenir – the flagship of the fleet.
This Buick gets the Avenir name from a classy 2016 concept car that was called a “glimpse into the future.” That future a few years later is a distinctive mid-size all-wheel-drive crossover with a redesigned-for-2026 face with wide grill, slick LED lights and a sleek look.
Inside, it has three adult-size rows of leather in its long wheelbase, heated and cooled up front, with a long display screeen for all infotainment needs. The 16-speaker Bose audio system, plus wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto, and HD radio. The center row reclines and slides – and there’s room in back for luggage along with 6 to 7 folks. And its turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine has 328 hp – quick and fairly fuel-efficient, if a bit snarly.
