Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

No significant changes for 2021.

Pros
Generous cargo and passenger room
Quiet and smooth ride
Plenty of standard features
Lots of device charging solutions

Cons
Many advanced safety features only available on top trim levels
Pricier than non-luxury rivals, but cabin materials aren't much nicer
Thirstier than V6-powered competitors

The 2021 Buick Enclave is the smoother, smothering three-row crossover in GM’s stable.

Pros
Great look
Comfortable ride
Good touchscreen
Handsome interior

Cons
Automatic braking not available on all models
Limited body colors on base version
Spendy Avenir
Not very fuel-efficient

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Buick's three-row family SUV rolls over to 2021 with only a few tweaks. Premium and Avenir models now come standard with power-adjustable lumbar support for the front seats and a massage feature, while the air ionizer is no longer available. Those two top models also receive a formerly optional package of driver-assistance features—including automated emergency braking and lane-keeping assist—as standard.

Pros
Upscale exterior styling,
plenty of tech features are standard,
large cargo bay.

Cons
Down-market interior materials,
no standard driver-assists on lower trims,
V-6 engine isn't particularly efficient.

Pros
Roomy interior with comfortable seating
Lots of cargo space
Easy to get in and out
Quiet at highway speeds

Cons
Inconsistent power delivery due to CVT automatic
Disappointing real-world fuel economy
Adaptive steering feels overly light and artificial

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Large cargo area
Sumptuous and spacious cabin
Low base price

Cons
Crude transmission operation
Distracting infotainment system

By: 
usnews.com

The 2022 QX50 adds more standard features and updated visual options. Every model now comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Infiniti's suite of driver assists. The latter includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist. Along with a newly available appearance package, select trim levels receive interior enhancements.

Pros
Handsome on the outside and the inside,
lots of room for people and cargo,
very comfy front seats.

Cons
Innovative engine has ordinary traits,
transmission contributes to noisiness,
unintuitive infotainment layout.
