I like the fact that you don’t see one on every corner you turn. Buick is a sweet spot of premium feel, unique design, and comfort. It’s a really good looking suv.

I have a 21 Envision, I like it a lot. You don't see them everywhere, but it's very comfortable especially for long 2+ hour trips, and I like the look and features like wireless carplay that GM is gonna be killing off slowly.

I just bought a 2023 Envision. Went on a 3 hour trip about a week ago. Smooth responsive powerful comfortable are just a few descriptors I would use. In my opinion, this car doesn't look like I should be the owner. I'm retired but the look and styling seems like a very young person should be the driver. It's not a traditional type Buick, not a squishy riding LaSabre it's sporty. Mine has the sun roof. I like to think of as being a convertible. Time will tell how it holds up but it seems a lot better vehicle than my old Sonata. So yea, I guess old guys buy these because they look young and sporty. Mine has an off road mode... incredible!

Ben, they also may not sell too well because the Envision is triple China: Engine, Transmission and Final Assembly are all 100% China. Since Buick's Encore is from Korea, that only leaves the Enclave as Buick's only "American" model.

Hey Ben I grew up on Buicks never told you before but huge car and truck lover this was first car learned now a huge Nissan and Buick fan. Miss the Buick sedans like the SUVS from Buick just give me a sedan again like Roadmaster or Lacrosse.

Buick is one of those brands that I am curious how they are still in business. It seems around every 500-1000 cars I see on The road, 1 of them is a Buick. I see more old Buicks than new.

I also just realized, I haven't seen an advertisement from Buick in a hot minute 💀

Thank you, good review. I've been looking at the 2023 Buick Envision Avenir for the pass week and finally decided to purchase one. The only regret I have is the missing Blind Spot Indicator due to the chip shortage. The Buick Envision kinda looks like my current vehicle on steroids which is a 2020 MB CLA250 with the AMG appearance package. I love my CLA but we have recently purchased some e-Bikes. and need a hitch bike carrier. Actually, we were out biking 2 weeks ago on a bike path that passed in front of a Buick car dealership were the Envision made me do a double-take look, literally. I was so impressed by its appearance that I took a few pictures to remember which model it was and to check it out online. Buick was never on my radar screen, I was thinking of purchasing a new MB GLA but the Buick Envision Avenir styling at it price point is an irresistible SUV.

I love Buick. I just wish they had huge cars and station wagons.

I’d wish they bring back the sedans. Buick is only selling the SUVs in the US. The updated Verano and Regal look really nice, its a shame they only sell it in Europe and Asia now.

My everyday Buick SUV! Good review Ben.

[matthehonestcarguy]

These are really beautiful cars, definitely underestimated 😍

[miamars]

The very first car I ever dreamed of owning was the Buick Rendezvous. So spacious, comfy smooth like butter to drive and I loved the interior and exterior design. I haven't been impressed by Buick since then but 16 years ago..

[markcoopers]

Now if they just sort of squished the proportions down, lowered the ride height, sloped the rear glass to meet a trunk instead of the Sedan, it needs to be a sedan.

Why Buick isn't making sedans but the Chevy Malibu still exists, I can't figure out.

[markovwms]

Needs to at least have a sunroof as standard if there gonna be considered “premium”

[lostundgefunden]

it doesn't have all tacky outside front and rear end fake plastic flare and space age circus lighting that Kia's, Nissan's and Hyundai's have. Resembles the new Mazdas and is one step behind a Rover in looks.

[DrewEmc]

Left and right grill parking sensors look like a good spot to install some fog lights

[joseyjr]

Great camera. Better than other car brands.

[lesley]

GM should have dumped Buick and emphasized Pontiac brand. Never would I contemplate buying a Buick.

Good review Ben.. The Envision is the sibling to the Chevrolet Blazer @ Cadillac XT4. Lot of consumers purchase those units.
Buick has a marketing @ demographic priblem, definitely not a styling or quality problem. As to where it's produced ?? It's a Global market that all manufacturers take part in. Something we all have to live with in today's world.
