The Three SUVs: Interior Space & Dimensions
Depending on the number of people you plan on moving around, one of these Buick SUVs may stand out from the other two. The subcompact Encore and the compact Envision each seat up to five people across two rows of seats, while the midsize 2018 Buick Enclave can accommodate seven riders across three rows. Each ride comes standard with cloth seats, though leather upholstery is available.
And just how roomy are all those seats? We’ll break it down for you:
Encore
Row 1 Legroom (inches)
: 40.82
Row 2 Legroom (inches)
: 35.75
Row 3 Legroom (inches)
: N/A
Envision
Row 1 Legroom (inches)
: 40.90
Row 2 Legroom (inches)
: 37.50
Row 3 Legroom (inches)
: N/A
Enclave
Row 1 Legroom (inches)
: 41.20
Row 2 Legroom (inches)
: 38.90
Row 3 Legroom (inches)
: 33.50
Each Buick SUV earns the distinction of providing enough legroom for adults to sit comfortably across all rows—although the tallest will undoubtedly prefer the front seats, and on long rides, the third row in the Enclave is best suited for kids.
What about cargo space? With rear seats folded, the Encore maxes out at 48.4 cubic feet, and the 2018 Buick Envision has room for 57.3 cubic feet—both good sizes for luggage or camping gear. The Enclave has a cavernous 97.6 cubic feet, ideal for moving furniture, plus a standard hands-free power liftgate for easy access when your hands are full!
