​​Buick Rated Top Mass-Market Brand in Latest J. D. Power Vehicle Dependability Survey​

Buick has been known for exceptional quality for decades. That special feeling you get when you take the wheel of one comes from careful build quality, careful attention to detail, and the utmost reliability found on every Encore GX, Envista, Envision, and Enclave. For the second year in a row, Buick is the top-rated Mass Market brand on J. D. Power’s U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study.

In its 37th year, this study measures vehicle quality throughout the ownership experience. The vehicles must be three years old, 2023 model year in this case. The study’s outcome focuses on how quality plays an important role in creating the best experience for a brand’s customers from the time they take delivery of their vehicle and beyond. This year’s study was based on 33,268 respondents.

In the 2026 study, Buick was not only the top brand among mass-market nameplates but also had vehicles ranked within the top three of their respective categories. Among Upper Midsize SUVs, the Enclave was at the top of its class. The Envision was rated second place among Compact SUVs, while the Encore GX came in third among Small SUVs. For the entire study, the Buick brand came in second overall among all nameplates. They achieved the same result for 2025.

What makes a Buick dependable? It is about the experience of owning one. Buick owners demand more – quality, luxury, drivability, space, and satisfaction after every drive. The 2026 Enclave exemplifies that. Our three-row SUV delivers space for up to seven, along with an expansive cargo area when you need it. You are surrounded by the latest in technology, including Super Cruise, which combines the ease of driving with an emphasis on keeping you and everyone on board safe.

In the 2026 Encore GX, there is a feeling every time you drive one of how much you can pour into a small SUV. The technology package makes you think you’ve spent a fortune. Yet it offers the most value of any vehicle in its size class, along with great efficiency with up to a rated 31 MPG on the highway.

When it comes to feeling special in a compact SUV, the 2026 Envision exemplifies that to a tee. It is “inspired luxury”, combined with comfort for up to five people. The Envision offers a hushed experience thanks to Quiet Tuning and Active Noise Cancellation – an experience that makes it truly a Buick.
