Navigation costs start from $795-$1540 depending on the trim level and, as on the GMC Acadia, all-wheel drive is a $2000 option.The Enclave’s seven-passenger layout has been replaced with an eight-seat arrangement, which is a no-cost option.

The 2013 Buick Enclave full-size crossover’s base price may be about $2000 higher than the 2012 Enclave, but it remains about $2000 below the Buick’s prime competitor: the 2013 Infiniti JX. Just a day after the 2013 GMC Acadia was priced at $34,875, the new Buick reveals that its revised style comes at a price: $39,270 including $825 for destination.
“The original Enclave was a catalyst for the Buick, defining the brand’s high standards of design and refinement,” said Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick Marketing. “The new 2013 model takes another step forward with a bolder look and advanced technologies.”
The long list of uprgrades on the new 2013 model, will definitely increase the ratio of crowd turning out for this new 2013 Buick Enclave, and as such the prices have been slashed, which states that the new model for the year 2013 has taken an another step forward to bring out a standard three-row seat luxury crossover to the masses.
