Why New 2027 Buicks May Be Harder to Find at

Good news if you're shopping for a new Buick or GMC in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount, Lakeville, or anywhere else around the south Twin Cities metro: 2026 inventory is strong right here on our lot. GM's 2027 lineup is also taking shape, with a couple of Buick's compact crossovers seeing some changes, while GMC's crossovers and Buick'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 inventory in Apple Valley right now.

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 on our lot 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 model 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. On the GMC side, the 2027 Acadia also began production July 20 with only minor updates, and the 2027 Terrain started its changeover on June 1. All four are moving through a normal, on-schedule changeover.

The good news: our 2026 inventory is strong across the board. The Enclave, Envision, Encore GX, and Envista are all well stocked here, and GMC's Terrain and Acadia are arriving steadily too. Whether you want three row space, a compact crossover, or something in between, there's a wide selection of 2026 models ready to test drive and drive home today, each backed by full factory warranty coverage. Shoppers from Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount, Lakeville, and Savage already make the short trip here regularly, and there's no need to wait on 2027 plans still being finalized when the 2026 lineup already has what most shoppers are looking for.

With 2026 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.
