Why New 2027 Buicks May Be Harder to Find

Good news if you’re shopping for a new Buick at any Kunes Auto Group location: 2026 inventory is strong across our dealerships in Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota. Buick’s 2027 lineup is also taking shape, with a couple of compact crossovers seeing some changes, while the brand’s larger models are moving through a typical, on-schedule changeover. Here’s a quick look at what’s changing for 2027, and why there’s plenty to love about 2026 Buick inventory at Kunes in the meantime.

Two of Buick’s compact crossovers are getting streamlined for 2027. The Encore GX is moving to a single, more powerful 155 horsepower engine and a tighter color and trim lineup for the new model year. The Envision wrapped up 2026 production in late August, and GM hasn’t shared a 2027 start date yet, which simply means a 2026 Envision is the surest bet if you want one soon. Neither change has been called an official shortage, just a simpler, more focused lineup for 2027.

Not every Buick is seeing the same disruption. The 2027 Buick Enclave began regular production on July 20 with two new paint colors and modest price increases. The 2027 Buick Envista carries over its engine and fuel economy numbers, with production starting around mid-2026. Both are moving through a normal, on-schedule changeover.

The good news: 2026 Buick inventory is strong across the Kunes Auto Group lineup. The Enclave, Envision, Encore GX, and Envista are all well stocked on our lots. Whether you want three row space, a compact crossover, or something in between, there’s a wide selection of 2026 Buick models ready to test drive and drive home today at any Kunes Buick GMC store, each backed by full factory warranty coverage and the same model year support as any new vehicle. There’s no need to wait on 2027 plans still being finalized when the 2026 lineup already has what most shoppers are looking for, often with stronger incentives than you’ll see once 2027 arrives.

With 2026 Buick inventory this strong and incentives still in place, there’s a great case for buying now rather than waiting on 2027 plans that are still coming together.
