Buick Enclave Cargo Space: Fit for Every Trip

Families choosing a three-row midsize SUV require an adaptable cabin that can pivot from passenger duty to hauling cargo at a moment’s notice. How much utility can you pack into the Buick Enclave? The Buick Enclave is a three-row midsize SUV built to carry a full house and its belongings without asking you to choose between passengers and gear. Cargo room scales with how you use the seats, so the same vehicle that seats seven for a school run can swallow a road trip’s worth of luggage minutes later. Here’s how much the Enclave holds in each configuration, and the features that make loading it effortless.

How Much Cargo Space Does the Buick Enclave Have?

Cargo capacity in the Enclave depends entirely on how many seats are folded, and even at its smallest, the space is generous for the class. With all three rows upright, you still have room for a full grocery haul or several suitcases behind the third row. Drop the rearmost row, and the hold grows enough for a family’s road-trip luggage.

Fold both rear rows and the Enclave opens up into a cavernous, flat-floored bay that ranks among the most spacious in the midsize three-row segment. Only a handful of rivals come close to that maximum figure, and most trail it outright. The numbers below show what you can expect in each of the three main seating arrangements, from everyday errands to a full cargo run.

• Behind the third row: 22.9 cubic feet
• Behind the second row: 57.1 cubic feet
• Maximum, both rear rows folded: 97.5 cubic feet

Cargo Room Behind Each Row

With all seven seats in use, the 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row easily handles a week’s worth of groceries, a stroller, or the bags for a weekend away, all without disturbing a single passenger.

Folding the third row expands the hold to 57.1 cubic feet, which is the sweet spot for most families: enough for luggage, sports equipment, or a big-box store run with the second row still available for riders. When you need to move something large, folding both rear rows clears the full 97.5 cubic feet and leaves a level floor from the liftgate forward. Access stays easy at every stage, so stepping up from a quick errand to a major haul takes only a few seconds.

Cargo Features That Add Everyday Versatility

Raw volume only tells part of the story. The Enclave pairs its numbers with thoughtful hardware that makes loading and unloading painless, whether your hands are full or you are working in a tight garage.

A hands-free liftgate opens with a wave of your foot, the load floor sits flat and low for sliding heavy items in, and clever storage tucks smaller belongings out of sight. Available upgrades add even more flexibility for families who use every cubic foot. The standout cargo features are:

• Standard AutoSense hands-free power liftgate
• Flat load floor when the rear rows are lowered
• Removable underfloor storage compartment
• Left-side cargo bin for small items
• Available power-folding second- and third-row seats
• Available cargo-area cover with the Cargo package

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much cargo space does the Buick Enclave have?

A: The Enclave offers 22.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row with all seats in use. Folding the third row increases that to 57.1 cubic feet, and folding both the second and third rows opens the maximum to 97.5 cubic feet. That maximum ranks among the most cargo room available in the midsize three-row class.

Q: Does the Buick Enclave have a hands-free liftgate?

A: Yes. Every Enclave comes with a standard AutoSense power liftgate, which lets you open the rear hatch hands-free with a simple kicking motion under the bumper, handy when your arms are loaded with bags.

Q: Do the second- and third-row seats fold flat?

A: They do. Both rear rows fold down to create a flat load floor for larger items, and available power-folding seats let you drop them at the touch of a button rather than folding them by hand. The level floor makes it easy to slide in long or bulky loads.
