2026 Buick Envision

The second-generation Envision is positioned between the tiny Encore GX and the larger, three-row Enclave. It's a pleasant if unexciting luxury compact SUV that comes typically priced in the low $40,000s. It uses a responsive powertrain combination of a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired to a nine-speed automatic, but fuel economy isn't stellar at 23 mpg overall. Both front- and all-wheel drive are available. The Envision rides smoothly and is quiet, although the larger, 20-inch tires that come on the top Avenir trim compromise ride comfort. Handling isn't particularly nimble but it’s very secure. The infotainment screen is easy to use but the push-pull gear selector setup is annoying because it's hard to operate without looking down. A refresh for 2024 included standard all-wheel drive and a new infotainment system and column-mounted gear selector. The Envision comes standard with FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, and RCTW.

About Buick

Buick’s line of two- and three-row SUVs are worth considering for shoppers looking for a nicer interior than in a Chevrolet or Ford without the luxury prices of a Cadillac, Lincoln, Lexus, or Acura. Options within Buick’s lineup start with the Envista, which is unusually sized between a large sedan and a subcompact SUV. The largest options include the three-row Enclave. Some of Buick’s models have earned Consumer Reports recommendations for having intuitive infotainment systems and quiet, pleasant interiors. Among U.S. car companies, Buick also ranks high in our new car reliability ratings. Some recent models also made our lists of recommended used cars.
