2023 Buick Envision
Overview
The 2023 Buick Envision is the smaller of the marque’s growing lineup of crossover SUVs, slotting between the subcompact Encore GX and the larger Enclave. The Envision earned itself a comprehensive redesign for 2021, giving avid fans and interested buyers all-new styling inside and out and a host of new, innovative features. The Envision’s shape is more assertive than before, making it stand out even more from other offerings in its segment.
The Perfect Ride For…
Anyone who wants a compact crossover SUV without giving up the luxuries. The 2023 Buick Envision’s elegant styling lets you know upfront of its premium intentions. The eye-catching exterior is equally matched by a rich and surprisingly roomy interior with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and tri-zone climate control available in the upper trim range. You’ll find the 2023 Envision in your choice of base, Preferred, Essence, and Avenir trims. The top-tier Avenir gives you perforated leather-trimmed seats, among the numerous upgrades to be expected of the luxury trim.
Drive and Handling
A turbocharged 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine is on offer, currently rated at 230 horsepower, and paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for smooth performance. The EPA recently rated the motor’s fuel economy at 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway when equipped with optional all-wheel drive. Frugal drivers at the pump can rejoice now that the 2.0-liter mill, unlike its predecessor, takes regular unleaded instead of premium.
Choose between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive on all trims save for the base model. The Avenir trim features an exclusive twin-clutch version of the SUV’s all-wheel drive system, which should give it improved traction and stability under a variety of road and weather conditions.
Key Features
Automatic Parking Assist
The Buick Envision’s Automatic Parking Assist feature takes the hassle out of maneuvering into and out of parking spaces. With the help of front and rear parking sensors, the Automatic Parking Assist feature can detect open parking spaces and automatically steer, brake, and shift as the vehicle moves into its new parking spot at very low speeds.
Touch Screen Infotainment System
Tech-savvy buyers can upgrade from the Envision’s standard 8-inch touch screen display to a larger 10-inch unit. It’s the first one of its type in any Buick vehicle and it’ll make a welcome addition for those who could use the extra real estate. Support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard, so you can take full advantage of your favorite smartphone apps as well as a plethora of in-vehicle apps, from Amazon Alexa to Spotify and Pandora.
Alternative Options
The new Envision is slated between the smaller Buick Encore and the larger Buick Enclave. If you're a city driver who needs more maneuverability, take a look at the Buick Encore. Small but luxurious, the Encore packs a punch. For those who need space for the whole family, the Enclave is the perfect option.
