The overview
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.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
