GM Authority (opens in a new tab) says the 2015 Enclave follows the 2014 refresh with changes led by the 6.5-inch IntelliLink system becoming standard on the 1SN Premium equipment groups, plus four new colors: Crimson Red Tintcoat, Dark Chocolate Metallic, Midnight Amethyst Metallic and Dark Sapphire Blue Metallic. MotorTrend (opens in a new tab) adds a heated wood steering wheel on Leather and Premium models and a new Dark Plum interior color.

Carvana (opens in a new tab) notes it stays part of the first generation with the design introduced by the 2013 refresh. Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) lists city and highway ratings of 16/22 to 17/24 mpg and used prices from $8,125 for the Convenience to $10,150 for the Premium at a dealer.

NHTSA lists five recall campaigns for the 2015 Enclave. 15V044000 covers Goodyear Fortera HL tires on early-built 2015 Enclaves, Traverses and Acadias that may experience tread cracking, with the tires replaced free. 21V246000 covers side curtain air bags that may not be properly attached, and 21V782000, 22V246000 and 23V334000 each cover a driver's air bag inflator that may explode during deployment, with dealers replacing the driver's air bag module.

Owners have filed 171 complaints, led by air bags with 105, electrical system with 14, unknown or other with 13, and engine and steering with 12 each. CarComplaints (opens in a new tab) and CarBuzz (opens in a new tab) break them down, and Consumer Reports (opens in a new tab) rates the year less reliable than other cars of its model year.

EPA rates the 2015 Enclave at 18 to 19 mpg combined and $3,300 to $3,450 a year in fuel. Its GM siblings, the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, list 19 at $3,300, the Ford Explorer 18 to 23 at $2,700 to $3,450, and the Toyota Highlander 20 to 28 at $2,250 to $3,100. The Highlander and Explorer cost less to run.
