All trims and versions of the 2021 Buick Enclave include the following active safety system: Forward Collision Alert (FCA) with Front Pedestrian Braking. Optional safety features on the 2021 Buick Enclave which we recommend include Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Side Blind Zone Alert.
