Finding the right family SUV isn't just about size, it's about having enough seating for everyone, room for all the gear, the tech to keep kids entertained, and safety features that give parents real peace of mind. Buick's SUV lineup delivers all of that in a premium package that doesn't ask you to pay luxury-brand prices. Whether you're hauling kids to soccer practice in Kennewick or loading up for a family road trip over the Cascades, there's a best Buick SUV for your family's needs. Here's how each model stacks up. Buick Encore GX Best for Small Families Compact SUV Seats 5 Available in FWD or AWD Max Cargo: 50.2 cu ft Fuel Economy: 29/31 (FWD) Towing: Up to 1,000 lbs. The Encore GX is the most compact and fuel-efficient option in the Buick family lineup and it's a surprisingly capable family vehicle for smaller households. Its 40/60 split-folding rear seats and available flat-folding front passenger seatback give you up to 50.2 cu ft of cargo space when you need it. It's nimble enough to navigate busy Tri-Cities parking lots, easy on gas for everyday commutes, and still offers the refined Buick interior quality families appreciate. Standard Buick Driver Confidence safety suite including automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard Available AWD for Eastern Washington winters Best fuel economy in the Buick lineup making it perfect for daily family errands Best for: Couples, small families, or parents with one or two younger children who want a premium compact SUV at an efficient price point.

The Buick Envision hits the sweet spot for families who need more room than a compact but don't yet need three rows. It's notably roomier than the Encore GX, especially in the second row, where teenagers or taller passengers will be far more comfortable and its cargo area is generous enough for strollers, sports gear, and grocery runs. AWD comes standard on every Envision trim, which is a meaningful advantage for Tri-Cities families dealing with Eastern Washington's variable winter roads. AWD standard on all trims — no upsell required for all-weather capability 30" ultrawide diagonal display with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Available massaging driver's seat and heated rear seats — great for long family drives HD Surround Vision and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking standard Available panoramic moonroof and Bose® 9-speaker audio Best for: Families of up to five who want a refined, well-equipped SUV with standard AWD and more interior room than a compact without stepping up to a three-row.

Three rows of seating — two front seats, two second-row captain's chairs, and a three-person third-row bench means room for up to seven, with surprisingly livable space in all three rows. 97.5 cu ft max cargo space: the largest in the Buick lineup by a wide margin Up to 5,000 lbs. towing: boat, camper, or utility trailer capable Available Super Cruise® hands-free driving technology for highway commutes 30" ultrawide diagonal infotainment display and Bose® 12-speaker audio standard Tri-zone climate control: Front, mid, and rear climate keeps everyone comfortable HD Surround Vision for confident maneuvering in crowded parking lots Available ambient interior lighting and panoramic moonroof IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award (vehicles built after January 2025) Best for: Growing families, carpools, road trips, and anyone who regularly needs to seat six or seven passengers with room left for gear. The Buick Enclave family SUV is the definitive choice for larger Tri-Cities households. Not sure which Buick is right for your family? Here's a quick guide: go with the Encore GX for a compact, fuel-efficient family daily driver. Choose the Envision if you need more rear-seat room and want AWD standard. Step up to the Enclave when three rows, maximum cargo, and towing capability are the priority. Our Buick dealer team in the Tri-Cities is happy to walk you through all three side by side.

Fuel economy is one of the first things buyers ask about — and for good reason. Whether you're commuting across the Tri-Cities, making runs out to the Yakima Valley, or hitting the highway for a weekend trip, getting more miles per gallon means more money in your pocket. The good news: the 2026 Buick SUV lineup is impressively efficient across the board. Here's how each model stacks up, ranked from best to most fuel-thirsty. FWD vs. AWD: On models where both drivetrains are available, FWD typically delivers slightly better fuel economy than AWD — usually 1–3 MPG combined. If you don't frequently encounter ice or off-road terrain, FWD can be the more efficient choice. All fuel economy figures below are EPA estimates for 2025 models. 1. Buick Envista — Best Gas Mileage Subcompact SUV  ·  FWD only 30 MPG Combined28 City  /  32 Hwy The Envista is Buick's most fuel-efficient SUV and the most affordable entry point in the lineup. It's FWD only, which actually works in its favor for gas mileage — and makes it a great option for Tri-Cities drivers who do mostly city and highway driving. Sleek, stylish, and easy to park. 🔗 View 2025 Buick Envista on fueleconomy.gov 2.
