Used 2022 Buick Enclave for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2022 Buick Enclave cost?

Prices have softened 14.53% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 66 listings available, which suggests a modest amount of inventory for shoppers to compare.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave a good car?

Yes — you’re looking at a 4.7/5 user-rated SUV with an expert rating of 7/10. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Form and function.

User feedback repeatedly points to a quiet, smooth ride, a spacious interior, and a comfortable, luxurious feel. Those strengths line up well with the Enclave’s role as a three-row family SUV, especially if you want a more premium everyday experience.

The main trade-offs are poor fuel economy and weaker value for money, and the expert review also notes that the price can feel steep for what you get. Even so, the Enclave’s refreshed styling and added standard safety tech make it a stronger fit if you prioritise comfort, space, and a more upscale feel over bargain pricing.

The market shows 45.5% good or great deals, which is a healthy sign if you’re shopping carefully.

Is the 2022 Buick Enclave reliable?

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

User feedback highlights that the Enclave feels dependable, comfortable, and well suited to long-term use, with many owners praising its quiet ride and strong safety features. The expert review also describes Buick’s powertrain and cabin experience as drama-free and premium, which supports the impression of a vehicle you can count on.

The cost-effectiveness notes also point to reasonable long-term running costs for the brand, which helps ownership confidence. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that fuel use and repair costs may be less friendly than the comfort and refinement suggest.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Essence, Premium, and Avenir trims all build on the Enclave’s refreshed styling, but the Avenir stands out with its unique grille, fascias, body-coloured lowers, taillamps, and 20-inch wheel design. The base trim is discontinued for 2022, and the higher trims add more upscale cabin materials and comfort features.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.6-litre V6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission, 310 horsepower, and standard all-wheel drive in Canada. The setup is described as smooth, quiet, and surprisingly responsive for a large three-row SUV.
• 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 trim 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 the larger 8-inch reconfigurable driver display is also reserved for those trims.
• 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. In 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 if you want the Enclave’s core strengths without stretching to the pricier trims. You still get the standard safety tech, the 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, and the same smooth V6 powertrain.
• Premium: This is the smart step-up 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 upscale version, with the most distinctive exterior treatment, richer interior details, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and the most complete equipment list. It suits you best if you want the Enclave to feel as premium as possible.

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

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

It looks like a buyer-friendly market, especially if you’re comparing listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 45.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 66 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.53% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $36,581 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 $36,903 CAD sits slightly below last year's $43,178 CAD.

That drop suggests the market has become more favourable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may face more price pressure than owners did a year ago. If you buy now, you’re entering at a lower average price point than last year, which can help soften depreciation risk. The Enclave’s strong comfort and family-friendly appeal should still support demand, especially among shoppers who value a quiet, spacious three-row SUV.

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-star ratings for rollover resistance. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave it the highest-possible Good ratings in all but one crash test, with an Acceptable result 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. You also get a Safety Alert driver’s seat, a rear-seat reminder system, and an HD reversing camera.

Premium trim adds enhanced automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, head-up display, and rear pedestrian alert. The main caveat is the Acceptable IIHS side-impact result, which is worth keeping in mind if crash performance is a 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:

• 45.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.53% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings a welcome freshening, standard driver-assistance tech, and wireless smartphone integration.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $31,983 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $36,903 CAD average.
• It is easy to like and especially upscale in top trim.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped, more up-to-date Enclave, the 2022 is the stronger pick. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2021 is the more affordable route and still delivers the Enclave’s core comfort and space.
