Used 2022 Buick Enclave for Sale nearOttawa, ON

How much does the 2022 Buick Enclave cost?

Prices have softened 14.70% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 75 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Buick Enclave earns a 4.7/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Form and function.

User feedback repeatedly points to a smooth and quiet ride, a spacious interior, and a comfortable, luxurious feel. Reviewers also highlight its strong safety features and long-term dependability, which supports confidence if you want a family-focused SUV you can count on.

The trade-offs are clear: the Enclave is viewed as poor value for money, and fuel consumption is a common complaint. That matters most if you want a three-row SUV that prioritises low running costs over comfort and refinement.

For shoppers who want a roomy, comfortable, well-equipped three-row SUV with a refreshed look and updated technology, the Enclave fits the brief well. With 38.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, there are still some attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers describe the Enclave as reliable, dependable, and comfortable to live with over time, with several noting its trouble-free feel and strong long-term appeal. The powertrain is presented as a solid, confidence-inspiring setup, and the cabin’s quiet, premium character reinforces that impression.

Buick also notes that long-term running costs should be pretty reasonable, which helps the Enclave’s ownership case. For used buyers, the main risk is that repair costs and fuel use may still weigh on your budget if the vehicle has been poorly maintained.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Buick Enclave?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Enclave comes in Essence, Premium, and Avenir trims, with the discontinued base Preferred trim no longer part of the 2022 lineup. Essence is the value play because it brings the refreshed styling and the newly standard safety tech, while Premium adds more convenience and driver-assistance equipment. Avenir is the most upscale choice, with unique exterior treatment, upgraded interior trim, and more comfort features.
• Powertrain: You get one setup: a 3.6-litre V6 with a nine-speed automatic and standard AWD. It is rated at 310 horsepower and is tuned for smooth, responsive everyday driving rather than sporty character.
• Safety package: Buick Driver Confidence Plus is standard on all trims and includes automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane-change alert with blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, rear park assist, following-distance indicator, and automatic high-beam headlights. Premium adds enhanced automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, head-up display, and rear pedestrian alert.
• Infotainment: Essence gets an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless phone charging. Premium and Avenir add navigation, while Premium and Avenir also get a larger 8-inch reconfigurable driver information display.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada rates it at 13.6 L/100 km in city driving, 9.6 L/100 km on the highway, and 11.8 L/100 km combined. During testing, it averaged 11.6 L/100 km in mixed driving.

Which 2022 Buick Enclave trim should I buy?

The 2022 Buick Enclave is offered in 3 trim levels: Essence, Premium, Avenir.

Here's the short version:

• Essence: This is the best-value choice because it gives you the refreshed design, standard AWD, the 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, and the full Buick Driver Confidence Plus safety suite. If you want the Enclave’s core strengths without stretching for extras, this is the trim to target.
• Premium: This is the step-up trim if you want more convenience and safety tech. It adds navigation, the larger reconfigurable driver display, the 10-speaker Bose audio system, and extra driver-assistance features such as adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera.
• Avenir: This is the most luxurious version, with unique exterior styling, upgraded interior trim and stitching, climate-controlled front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and the available Technology package content that adds premium ride hardware and more advanced camera features. It suits you best if comfort and presentation matter most.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, but Premium and Avenir bring the most advanced available driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Buick Enclave?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 38.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 75 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.70% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $36,578 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Buick Enclave's resale value?

The current average of $36,612 CAD sits slightly below last year's $42,923 CAD.

That price drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can make the Enclave more appealing to used buyers today. For a future seller, it also means you may face a softer resale environment if prices continue to normalise from last year’s higher level.

Even so, the Enclave’s comfort-focused appeal and refreshed 2022 updates should help it stay relevant with family buyers. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave safe?

The 2022 Buick Enclave earns a five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA and four out of five stars for rollover resistance. It also received the highest-possible "Good" ratings in all but one IIHS crash test, where it scored "Acceptable" in the updated side-impact test.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Buick Driver Confidence Plus is standard on all trims and includes automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane-change alert with blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, rear park assist, following-distance indicator, and automatic high-beam headlights. Premium adds enhanced automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, head-up display, and rear pedestrian alert.

The main caveat is that the IIHS side-impact result is not as strong as the rest of the crash-test record, so that is worth keeping in mind if safety is your top priority.

Should I buy a 2022 Buick Enclave or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 38.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.70% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 brings a freshened design, updated cabin tech, and standard driver-assistance equipment.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $32,209 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $36,612 CAD average.
• It is a roomy, quiet, upscale-feeling three-row SUV.

The bottom line: Choose the 2022 if you want the updated styling, improved technology, and stronger safety equipment. If your priority is saving money and you can live without the refresh, the 2021 remains the lower-cost alternative.
