2025 Buick Enclave


Listen Later

CR is testing the 2025 Buick Enclave Sport Touring, the new luxury 3-row SUV from GM positioned just below Cadillac. Built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, the new Enclave aims to combine upscale comfort with family-friendly practicality. But does it deliver real value in a crowded segment? And how does it stack up against competitors like the Toyota Highlander, Grand Highlander, and the Honda Pilot? We also answer viewer questions about niche tire sizes on some Toyota and Lexus vehicles (like the Prius and Crown Signia), and is it worth keeping a 2009 Toyota Highlander with over 250k miles, or is it time to find a replacement?
