2025 Buick Enclave ST Interior, Dimensions, MSRP
2025 Buick Enclave ST Interior, Dimensions, MSRP – Despite all the unpleasantries associated with aging – chiropractor visits, reading glasses, and hearing aids, for example – there are some pluses, too. For instance, maturity can make us more practical, eschewing the trivialities of fashion for a greater appreciation of sensible attire.
Cargo shorts and white New Balance sneakers are useful and comfortable, oozing the same sort of sensibility that helps one appreciate the 2025 Buick Enclave ST. It’s a machine that’s not going to earn a coveted spot beside the valet stand, but it’s practical, and does exactly what’s expected of it. Finished in entry-level Essence trim, it also manages to remain simple yet stuffed with features.
2025 Buick Enclave ST Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior and Interior
Although the Essence trim is the base model in the Enclave ST lineup, its equipment feels far above entry-level. Notable features include the dual panel power sunroof, enhanced audio system, onboard navigation, and standard heated front seats and steering wheel with leather trim. However, it’s evident that expenses were minimized by limiting the power actuation of the sunshade to the back section. In addition to six separate USB charging points, three-zone climate control, and second-row captain’s chairs guarantee that passengers beyond the front row are as well-cared for.
2025 Buick Enclave ST Specs
Even though the Enclave ST has received some updates for 2025, the layout of its controls still feel like they’re aging, albeit gracefully. Too many automotive designers strive for slick cockpit designs at the expense of functionality. The Enclave ST’s eight-inch touchscreen is small compared to those spanning 10- or even 12 inches or more these days. The trouble is, those large screens often supplant physical buttons for many controls, requiring frustratingly complex, multi-step operation of what should be simple tasks.
By comparison, Buick’s system is refreshingly simple. Navigating through the menus is straightforward, and an owner won’t need to study the manual to figure out how to warm up the interior or switch on the seat heaters. For 2025, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity has been added, as well as wireless charging; and while oftentimes the lack of hard-wiring into the system can result in slow responses or glitching, the Enclave ST’s system operated smoothly.
Engine and Performance
With 310 hp, the Buick’s 3.6L V6 rates among the most powerful in its class. It’s a class that overwhelmingly favours V6s of a similar size, with most of them putting out between 270 and 290 hp, and torque figures around the 260–270 lb-ft range, like the Enclave ST’s 266.
It’s enough power to get the big Buick up and cruising quickly, but many motorists have grown to enjoy the immediacy and low-end responsiveness of smaller turbocharged engines these days, against which the normally aspirated Buick V6 feels somewhat sluggish pulling away from a standstill. Once up to speed, it’s a smooth engine that cruises beautifully on the highway, and offers ample passing power, and, for the most part, the nine-speed automatic transmissiondoes its thing seamlessly, too.
2025 Buick Enclave ST Fuel Economy
At 2,072 kg (4,568 lb), the Enclave ST is among the heavier cruisers in its class, which contributes to a fuel consumption level that’s thirstier than most of its rivals. Its city rating of 13.6 L/100 km is particularly high in the class, but it’s competitive with most on the highway at 9.6 L/100 km. The Buick’s overall combined rate of 11.8 L/100 km is 1.5 L more than a V6-powered Toyota Highlander or the Ford Explorer and its turbocharged four-cylinder. Fortunately, the Enclave ST only requests regular unleaded fuel, and with a class-leading 83-L fuel tank, it has good range between fills. 2025 Buick Enclave ST Interior
2025 Buick Enclave ST Safety Features
The Enclave ST comes with a generous list of standard safety features that starts with seven airbags, as well as blind spot monitoring and lane-keeping assist, plus rear traffic detection and automated braking. When optioned with adaptive cruise control, the Enclave ST also receives an enhanced automated braking system, plus a 3D camera view around the vehicle when parking.
Buick has added a standard rear seat monitoring system, and a Teen Driver mode that lets parents set various parameters (like speed or volume limits) associated with one of the key fobs, and track the driving habits of those using that key. 2025 Buick Enclave ST Interior
2025 Buick Enclave ST Price and Release Date
Starting at just over $50,000, the Enclave ST Essence is highly competitive in the mainstream three-row SUV class, but then all the major players are priced within a thousand or two of this, depending on the trim specified. Still, a similarly equipped Highlander Limited or award-winning Kia Telluride undercut the Buick by a couple of grand, and arguably offer as much practicality, refinement, and features, plus more contemporary designs. 2025 Buick Enclave ST Interior
With a brand that still tends to appeal to an older demographic, many younger buyers shopping the three-row SUV segment may not have Buick on their radar. The 2025 Enclave ST Essence offers solid value and decent usability, making it at least worthy of a look. And for buyers simply wanting an SUV with classic styling and controls that don’t require a computer engineering degree, Buick’s Enclave ST may just be the top choice.
