2021 Buick Enclave

 

The 2021 Buick Enclave gas mileage is nothing short of impressive for a midsize three-row SUV. With the standard 3.6L V6 engine and front-wheel drive, the Enclave manages to surpass its competitors at an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city/26 mpg highway while still churning out 310 hp! Thomasville, GA drivers who opt for all-wheel drive will see slightly lower Buick Enclave fuel economy specs, but not by much. Dale Earnhardt Jr Buick GMC has the full story on the new Buick Enclave gas mileage and performance, below.

If you thought you’d have to sacrifice power for efficiency in the Buick Enclave, think again! The strong 3.6L V6 engine lends itself to a fun and energetic driving experience in Crawfordville, achieving 310 hp at 6,800 RPM and 266 lb-ft of torque at 2,800 RPM. What’s more, the Enclave rounds out your experience behind the wheel with several drive-enhancing performance features, including:

  • 5-link rear suspension 
  • Disc brakes
  • StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System
  • Electronic Precision Shift System

Drivers who choose all-wheel drive with their Buick Enclave will also get a Traction Select System, which enables them to switch between different drive modes to accommodate tricky conditions like rain, sleet, and snow. 

Can the Buick Enclave Tow? 

Not only is the Enclave engine strong enough to support leading fuel economy specs and uncompromising road performance, but it also supports a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds! That’s when the Enclave is equipped with a Trailering Package with a hitch and heavy-duty cooling system—without this equipment, the Enclave can tow 1,500 pounds.
