Used 2021 Buick Enclave Essence

CARFAX 1-OWNER VEHICLE, LOCAL TRADE, The 2021 Buick Enclave Essence is a mid-size three-row SUV that sits near the top of the value-for-money ladder. It combines roomy, flexible seating and cargo space with a comfortable, quiet ride and a well-equipped, upscale cabin while avoiding some of the price and complexity of luxury-brand SUVs. It offers a strong balance for families or anyone needing space and practicality but wanting a bit more refinement. Powertrain & Driving Dynamics Under the hood, the Enclave Essence uses a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Edmunds +2 CarsDirect +2 You are not getting a sports car but instead a composed, steady performer: enough power for merging or highway passing without excessive effort. The ride is smooth and refined, helped by an independent suspension setup, and the cabin remains notably quiet even over longer drives. Drive layout is front-wheel drive by default, but all-wheel drive is available (and many Essence trims carry it), which can help in slippery or wet conditions. Handling favors comfort over sportiness corners are handled with composure rather than sharp steering making it more about relaxed family transport than spirited driving. Interior, Comfort & Practicality The Enclave Essence seats up to seven across three rows second-row captains chairs plus a third-row bench or six depending on configuration. You get generous legroom for second-row riders (and reasonable for the third row), and the cargo space is flexible: with seats up theres reasonable cargo behind the third row; fold third (or second + third) rows when needed and you have plenty of space for large items or luggage. Inside, the Essence trim upgrades from cloth to perforated leather upholstery, adding a more premium feel. The cabin materials and design emphasize comfort and quietness soft-touch surfaces, solid build quality, and thoughtful design reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a relaxed, almost luxury-car-like ambiance. Amenities include an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), Bluetooth®, USB inputs, and more suitable for modern connectivity needs. Tri-zone climate controls (including rear-seat vents) and heated front seats come standard, helping ensure comfort for all passengers. Moving up to Essence brings useful safety and convenience upgrades beyond the base: you get a blind-spot monitoring system, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane change alert/side blind-zone alert, which add useful situational awareness when merging or reversing. Other convenience touches: remote keyless entry and start, power liftgate (on many configs), power-adjustable front seats, power windows/mirrors, multi-zone climate control, and SiriusXM satellite radio.
