2026-10-05
Buick offers a lineup of award-winning all-wheel drive crossovers and SUVs, having been awarded by J.D. Power as #1 for Dependability among Mass Market Brands for two years in a row. Buick offerssmall, compact, and mid-size models in the well-equipped Preferred, athletic-inspired Sport Touring, and luxurious Avenir trims. Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave buyers can all enjoy the benefits of AWD.
The small Encore GX is the most-affordable all-wheel drive Buick, with an MSRP of $28,5001 for the AWD Preferred model.
All-wheel drive is standard equipment on the compact Envision.
Each trim level of the three-row mid-sized Enclave also offers all-wheel drive as an option.
All-wheel drive Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave models automatically distribute engine torque to all four wheels when the car’s computers detect wheelspin, but otherwise remain two-wheel drive. That way the driver gets the efficiency of front-wheel drive when there’s no need to power all four wheels, while also reaping the traction benefits all-wheel drive can provide in slippery conditions like rain, snow, or mud.
