Trim Comparison
2027 Buick Enclave Trims Hot Springs AR
Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir: same engine in every one, and what changes is comfort, materials and audio. Here is exactly what each trim adds.
Three trims separate the 2027 Buick Enclave lineup, from $46,600 to $63,300, and the spread between them is a $16,700 swing entirely in comfort and materials, not power. Every trim runs the identical 328-hp turbocharged engine and the identical 5,000-lb standard tow rating; nothing about capability changes as you move up.

Below is every trim on its own, the full side-by-side matrix, the most-asked trim comparisons, and a step-up table showing exactly what each rung of the ladder buys.

Common 2027 Enclave Trim Comparisons
Preferred vs. Sport Touring
$3,500 separates them, and it buys presence, not performance: gloss-black exterior trim, machine-finish wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel and perforated leatherette in place of plain leatherette. The engine, drivetrain, towing rating and safety suite are identical. Buyers who want the lowest cost into an Enclave stay on Preferred; buyers who want a sportier look for a manageable step up move to Sport Touring.
Sport Touring vs. Avenir
$13,200 separates them, and it buys a completely different cabin: quilted and perforated leather instead of leatherette, massaging and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, one-touch power-folding third-row seats and the upgraded 16-speaker Bose Performance system, none of which Sport Touring offers at any price. Stay on Sport Touring if the sportier look is what you are after; move to Avenir if you want the Enclave's cabin to read as genuine luxury.
Preferred vs. Avenir
The full $16,700 spread, and it is the comparison most cross-shoppers actually make once they have decided on the Enclave itself. Preferred gets you into a real three-row Buick with the full safety suite and the same 30-inch screen as Avenir. Avenir adds the materials, the massaging seats and the second- and third-row comfort features that turn a family hauler into the vehicle grandparents ask to ride in.
The Enclave Value Verdict and Step-Up Guide
Preferred sells in the biggest numbers because it gives up so little: the complete safety suite, and the identical 30-inch screen Avenir gets, thousands of dollars lower. Sport Touring is for the buyer who wants a sportier look without moving all the way up. Avenir is for the buyer who wants the cabin itself to feel like the flagship it is. Every trim here earns its place.
| Step | Price Difference | What It Adds |
|---|---|---|
| Preferred to Sport Touring | +$3,500 | Gloss-black trim, machine-finish wheels, flat-bottom wheel, perforated leatherette |
| Sport Touring to Avenir | +$13,200 | Quilted leather, massaging/ventilated seats, heated 2nd row, power-folding 3rd row, 16-speaker Bose |
| Preferred to Avenir direct | +$16,700 | Everything above, in one step |
