All-New 2024 Buick Envision review // Does this change your view of Buick?

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2024 Buick Envision compact, premium SUV. Right off the top we have to say, I can’t believe the long list of standard features the 2024 Buick Envision gets in Canada. They include, a 30” diagonal screen with Google built-in, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a wireless charger, head-up display, 9-speaker Bose sound system, heated front seats, 8-way power driver’s seat, 6-way manual passenger seat, driver seat memory with side mirrors, perforated leatherette upholstery, a heated steering wheel and a hands-free power liftgate.
In the US, some of these features are not standard like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a hands-free power liftgate. They are available for $1,850 USD in the Comfort and Convenience package.
We are driving the top trim 2024 Buick Envision Avenir and the interior is beautiful, the trim and the quality of materials used is excellent. The only negative is the piano black at the centre console.
This 2024 Buick Envision comes with a suite of driver assist technology and safety features including, blind zone steering assist, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, forward collision alert and rear cross traffic braking. Super Cruise is not available on the Envision.
The 2024 Buick Envision is powered by a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder with a 9-speed automatic transmission, 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. of torque, standard AWD.
In Canada, the 2024 Buick Envision Preferred model starts at $45,633 CAD, Sport Touring $47,833 CAD and
Avenir $53,733 CAD (MSRP).
In the US, 2024 Buick Envision Preferred $37,295 USD, Sport Touring $39,795 USD and Avenir $48,395 USD.
You can add the panoramic sunroof for $1,725 CAD/$1,495 USD on the two base models and it comes standard on the top trim.
Fuel economy, the 2024 Buick Envision gets 10.8L/100 km, 22 MPG city and 8.3L/100 km, 28 MPG highway. The start/stop function on the Envision is fantastic, I can’t believe how smooth it is.

I agree with you both. This is a home run by Buick. It looks great, is packed with features people want (in the base trim, with extras available if wanted) and is well priced (relatively in the market). Factor in plenty of dealership access (small towns, etc), a decent reliability record and you've got yourself a winner. Some may be hesitant as it's made in China, but they've been making some decent cars for a few years now.

Your review of the Envision was wonderful. It helped seal the deal for me and today I picked up an Avenir here in Rhode Island. Very nice ride!

Thank you Motormouth for this review - this review and the 2021 review of this model is what sold us in the end! We bought the 2023 version Essence trim ST with Tech 1 package and pano sunroof recently at a substantial discount vs. 2024, as it was still brand new on the dealer's lot. Sure, it doesn't have the latest big screen and no wireless charging, and the front styling is different, but that's it. Otherwise, it is the same car. We love how quiet it is - quiet tuning is real! It's like your car was a giant noise-isolating earphone, that's the best way I can describe it. We also love how little body roll it has and that we are now up to date with the "almost" latest technology. It's a bargain money-wise compared to the Cadillac XT4 (made on the same platform), which has fewer dealers, and you must go to a Cadillac service centre for all your services. Some people will not like that it's made in China and are afraid of the quality... Phones, TV, Computers are all made there, it just depends on the factory it's made at. It's the same car made for the Chinese market from the same factory; it's more expensive to buy there. And to anyone saying it's not "quite as luxurious"as (insert Audi, Land Rover etc etc) - it's an elevated interior for sure - maybe not AS luxurious but you are saving about 10 - 15K compared to those other brands and you will save in the long run as this is a much more reliable car.

Buick is about the brand I can think of in the automotive industry without media cheerleaders. It’s great to see someone cheerleading for a brand that deserves it, but never gets it.

I have had 2 Buicks in my lifetime and both were well built, fun and good looking and nice values! Way to for a fantastic review and hats off to Buick for another solid choice!

[TalismanPHX]

Very handsome and elegant Buick. The interior is especially well-done on the Avenir trim.

My dad has a 2022 envision avenir he loves it! He was between an XT4, envision, x1 and some others.

We just purchased a 2024 envision preferred in cinnabar metallic we added the comfort and convenience package, but what a great car so well built your review did play in to my decision but after test drive and seeing one and driving I was sold.

I am retired and maybe a Buick is an old man’s car, but I do love driving this car it is such a nice quite driving car I think it is a lot of bang for the buck.

In our envision the heated seats and heated steering wheel turn on and off automatically depending on it if cold, that must be part of the comfort and convenience package?

Thank you for your great review! I recently bought a Buick Envision Sport Touring model. I absolutely love this vehicle!!

[blackbikerboots]

You guys are just awesome! Greetings from Winnipeg

[luvtechLynn]

Thank you both…this was exactly what I wanted to hear! I went to the Buick dealer just to look at it in person. I was amazed at the base Preferred trim with the comfort and convenience package. That would be everything I needed plus the pano roof. Where I live, I would have to order the car with the pano roof because the base trims at the dealership don’t have them. I’m not ready yet but when I am, the Envision is #1 on my list. Thank you again for your enthusiastic review about this particular SUV!

[nickrudick]

I ordered a '25 ST with the red interior and I am so excited

[OFOFBORG]

Not bad vehicle! Very stylish in both exterior and interior. I remember a few years ago, I drove once and it’s felt narrow. Is it wider now? Great show Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻

[jeckellstallworth]

Hey there, Zac and Andrea. Thank you for the quality content that you provide for us. It truly helps us to make an informative and wise decision when purchasing a vehicle. 😊🎉

Family had several Buicks including a 70 LaSabre 455, with the legendary 455 engine. Very fast

Many people have mentioned concerns about Chinese production. In fact, if it is the same brand or product under the same standard, the quality of American products is not necessarily better than that of Chinese products! The low-quality Chinese products that people usually blame are just the cheapest goods purchased from China by our local dealers (they also have high-quality high-end goods) in order to get the biggest profit! Similarly, on Envision, some people complain about the materials and design, which are all standards set by GM, and China is just a contract manufacturer.

Wow
What a great review as always
Just like the Buick you guys are easy to watch.

[scottmcalister]

Great review as always. I've been loyal to Japanese vehicles but my 2019 Mazda CX5 is starting to cost me money in repairs. Buick has hit it out of the park with the Envision. The ST trim in white with the garnet leather interior is a knockout. Buick has definitely given me something to think about.

[war_hammer]

I have a 22, ton of extra tech that makes my driving, parking much easier. It does have an annoying turbo whistle kittle sound that the dealer ignored me on that I just deal with. Wish it was a hybrid for the fuel economy but it is what it is.

The small redesign is something I wish I had i think it's a great improvement.

[notfound.....]

Looks really nice!! Will be looking at this one. ✅️ 🇨🇦
