2014 Buick Enclave: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2014 Buick Enclave is the addition of forward collision alert and lane departure warning. Otherwise, this is a light equipment update following the larger 2013 refresh, with no material changes to the V6, six-speed automatic, body structure, or overall design.
About the 2014 Buick Enclave
1st generation (2008-2017), second model year after the 2013 refresh.
Buick positioned the Enclave as a three-row family SUV with a quieter, more upscale feel than a mainstream people-mover. The marketing centers on first-class comfort in every row, a hushed cabin, flexible cargo space, and easy-to-use technology rather than sporty driving. For most shoppers, the Enclave’s main draw is simple: it offers adult-friendly third-row room and road-trip usefulness, but with softer styling and a more polished interior atmosphere than most large crossovers.
The 2014 Enclave is a quiet, roomy three-row SUV with seven-passenger seating and second-row captain’s chairs. Convenience covers the family basics with a power liftgate, remote start, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen, while Leather adds a richer cabin and Premium brings heated and cooled front seats, Bose audio, and more driver-assistance equipment.

2014 Buick Enclave
(26 reviews)
“The Buick is luxury and classy. Bigger inside than it seems. Lots of bells and whistles. Reliable. Moderately priced.”
“The Buick Enclave is very comfortable to drive and is very roomy for SUV camping. I wish I had gotten the AWD for moderate off-the-road camping. To this day I have had no mechanical problems. I have owned It for a little over a year and so far it has proved to be dependable.”
