NHTSA // CRASH-TESTED
2023 Buick Enclave
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Buick Enclave is a three-row midsize SUV pitched squarely at families who want near-luxury comfort without a premium-brand price tag. Competing against the likes of the Ford Explorer and Kia Telluride, the Enclave has been a quiet staple of GM's lineup since its second generation arrived in 2018. It seats up to seven and leans heavily on a refined, upscale cabin experience as its core identity.
The 2023 Buick Enclave earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 87 out of 100, an strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. Both frontal and side crash protection reached the full 5 stars. No vehicle recalls are on file for this model year.
