2023 Buick Envision

Envision yourself here!

Style, power, technology and more are found within the Buick Envision for 2023, a vehicle that inspires confidence in each and every drive! Starting at $34,745 and presented with great curb appeal, the Envision this year is all about ride quality coupled with sharp, exterior design, intuitive infotainment system and a quiet interior. Holding its own when it comes to luxury, this compact SUV, presented with two new colors this year, is well worth a second look!

Here’s more….

A look within!

A striking, modern style is found here, with the trims especially notable when it comes to interior on this year’s Envision. The top-level Avenir compares quite nicely to the likes of the Q5, X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-class. And, while the Preferred and Essence models come chock full of standard features that are sure to please, the Avenir is presented with luxurious touches such as quilted leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats and a massaging driver’s seat.

A driver-centric cockpit is realized in this year’s Envision, made clear in the angled instrument panel and center display, pointed directly at the driver. Electronic Precision Shift helps keep the cockpit clutter-free, while also allowing for additional storage.

In terms of cargo space, there is a little less this year compared to previous models, holding 21 carry-on cases with its rear seat folded flat, compared to 26 in the old model. The 60/40 split rear seats also make for a wide range of cargo and passenger configurations.

Also inside is available heated steering wheel and seats, air quality indicator and soft-touch premium materials. Drivers also have the option for upgrading their seating assignment with available ventilated driver and front passenger seats.

An available panoramic moonroof and an intuitive center console with dual-winged cover as well as advanced air tilter technology round out the amenities within!

Exterior look!

Drivers remain first and foremost in mind when it comes to exterior design, starting with welcoming lights available in premium LEDs at front and rear. Aerodynamic lines define this year’s Envision, giving it a very aggressive, eye-catching look. Wheel choices range from standard 18 inch to available 20-inch wheels with premium finishes to give that personal touch. The Sport Touring trim is especially sleek, complete with an aggressive, sporty look, exclusive ST grill and logo on the head restraints and front carpeted floor mats, Alloy Sport Pedals, bold red stitching throughout and dark 20-inch aluminum wheels.

How it’s powered!

Just one engine under hood is the choice when powering the Envision and is a 228-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. This engine pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel drive presented as standard. However, consumers do have the option of choosing all-wheel drive on any of the Envision’s three trim levels. Reviewers have indicated that this engine gives an OK ride, not terribly quick. At the test track, it climbed from 0-60 mph in

what is considered an unimpressive 7.3 seconds. Also, in the area of suspension, it is set up to maximize ride comfort yet minimize driving engagement.

Stay connected!

In what is its base trim — the Preferred — the Envision is presented with an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, with the Essence and Avenir models having a 10.2-inch unit. Standard is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, both with wireless connectivity, as well as a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. There is also SiriusXM satellite radio, a six-speaker stereo and an active noise-cancellation system. Those opting for the Essence trim enjoy the sounds from a seven-speaker stereo with the ability to upgrade to a nine-speaker Bose setup through the selection of the Technology package.

Also available in the area of cutting-edge and convenient technology is the available Amazon Alexa Built-In, wireless smartphone charging and Head-Up Display. There is hands-free texting capability to access numerous available apps, and up to 10 devices can be paired, including up to two actively paired smartphones for incoming hands-free calls.

Safest drive!

The Envision for 2023 is chock full of driver-assistance features, many of which come standard, although more advanced features are optional. These top safety features include: standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection; standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist and available adaptive cruise control. Those wishing to review the Envision’s crash-test results can visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety websites.

Doing its best to mimic today’s leading compact luxury SUVs, the Envision for 2023 has plenty of highs, including curb appeal, a reasonable starting price and a very nice ride quality. With intuitive infotainment and a sharp exterior design, “Envision” yourself, here and test drive yours today!
