Does the Buick Enclave qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Buick Enclave is built and what it means for your loan interest.

PASS — assembled in the USA
The Buick Enclave qualifies on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
The Enclave is Buick's US-built model — it comes from GM's Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant in Michigan, sharing the line with the Chevrolet Traverse. The Enclave passes the OBBBA final-assembly test, which sets it apart from most of Buick's imported lineup.
Where the Buick Enclave is assembled
| Assembly plant | Location | Assembly test |
|---|---|---|
| Lansing Delta Township Assembly | Lansing, MI | ✓ United States |
Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly PASS is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Is the Buick Enclave made in the USA?
Yes. The Enclave is assembled at Lansing Delta Township Assembly in Lansing, Michigan, a US final-assembly point, so it meets the assembly test.
Are other Buicks US-built?
Mostly not. The Envision is imported from China, and the Envista and Encore GX come from South Korea. The Enclave is the US-assembled one.
Does the Avenir trim change the answer?
No. Avenir is a trim level, not a different plant — all Enclaves are Michigan-built. Decode the VIN if you want confirmation on your specific vehicle.
