If all-wheel drive is on your must-have list, begin your Buick search with the right models. For 2026, the Buick Envision includes AWD as standard equipment, while Encore GX and Enclave offer it as an option. The 2026 Envista is front-wheel drive only. At Circle Buick GMC in Highland, Indiana, that distinction can help you narrow your choices before comparing colors, trims and individual vehicles. For buyers in Highland and nearby Merrillville, the useful question is which Buick gives you the drivetrain, passenger space and everyday fit you want. Start with the comparison below, then view current new Buick inventory at Circle. 2026 Buick AWD and FWD choices at a glance 2026 Buick model Drivetrain choices Seating Envista FWD only Up to five Encore GX Standard FWD; available AWD Up to five Envision Standard AWD Up to five Enclave Standard FWD; available AWD Up to seven These choices describe the 2026 model lineup. Check the model year and equipment of each vehicle you are considering, especially when comparing new and pre-owned Buicks. Need a smaller Buick with AWD? Start with Encore GX The Buick Encore GX is a useful starting point when you want a smaller SUV and AWD is a requirement. Buick offers AWD across the 2026 Encore GX trim range, so the decision does not automatically require choosing the highest trim. Ask Circle to identify AWD examples first. Then compare the features you will use: seat adjustments, cabin storage, visibility and room for your regular passengers. Keeping drivetrain separate from appearance prevents a favorite color or wheel design from distracting you from a required feature. Want standard AWD or a third row? Include the Buick Envision when standard AWD and a five-passenger layout match your plans. If you need three rows, compare Buick Enclave vehicles equipped with available AWD. Make the passenger decision with your normal week in mind. How many seats stay occupied? Who needs access to the rear row? What must fit behind the seats when everyone is aboard? Bring those questions to the vehicle itself instead of choosing solely from exterior photographs. Where does Envista fit? The 2026 Buick Envista belongs on your list when front-wheel drive meets your requirements. Choosing its Sport Touring or Avenir trim does not add AWD. If you are undecided, tell Circle what prompted your AWD search. That gives the team a useful starting point for a comparison. If AWD is non-negotiable, say so at the beginning and focus your visit on vehicles that meet that requirement. Make the next step a vehicle decision Choose one or two stock numbers and send a short message with your seating needs, required drivetrain and purchase timing. For example: “I need an AWD Buick with five seats. I’m comparing these two vehicles and would like to come in today.” That gives Circle something specific to confirm and helps your visit move toward a purchase. If you are replacing your current vehicle, you can also start your trade appraisal before arriving. Ready to buy your Buick? Come in today.
