2021 Buick Envision Review: Pleasant, calm, and comfortable | CarGurus

The most surprising thing about the 2021 Buick Envision is how uneventful it is.

The 2021 Envision isn't dramatic, exhilarating, or even exciting. It's a pretty, quiet, and comfortable crossover set to compete with vehicles from Acura, Lincoln, and even Cadillac. The engine is unobtrusive, the transmission is predictable, and the interior looks and feels nice. Cliff Ayiteh has all the details in this In-Depth Review.

My wife has had one for nearly a year, she loves it. She bought the Essence with a Panoramic roof and plenty of standard safety features. We live in Wisconsin And went with the front wheel drive, she has been through her 1st winter and found no need for all wheel drive. This car feels luxurious and came in under $40, 000. The change in design and now using the Cadillac XT4 platform has made a huge difference. She had a Ford Escape Titanium for 8 1/2 years and loved it but finds the Buick a big upgrade in many ways. We are in it for the smooth and quiet ride and Buick delivers.

Great Review, I'm a big fan of the new Envision, Keep it up Buick & You'll Be Back On The Block Real Soon!

[dantheman]

Had a couple of Buicks back in the day. Always been a fan

I have to agree with Car Gurus and Consumer Reports. This is an exceptional GM vehicle -- a very good value play that turns heads.

I just got a great deal on a 2022 Essence, I've owned BMW and Mercedes. For comfort, tech, and power I'm blown away buy this Buick!

Hey Cliff how's the Jag doing? I went and got an XF's and I love it.

I'm a senior. My retirement is OK, but not fabulous, so I can spend a bit... but I'm budget-conscious. My zoom-zoom days (Peugeot 104ZS, Alfa 147) were great, but they're long gone. Nowadays, I'm more interested in ingress and egress - I'm 6'6", 280 lbs. I want quiet comfort.
So PLEASE talk to me! I bought my current car nine years ago. It was an oddball. It's own manufacturer didn't know what to do with it: the Buick Encore. They marketed it to young couples. It has just 138 HP, so of course it didn't sell to that demographic. On the other hand, it was by far the easiest small car to get into and out of. (I size-tested ALL of them.) So it sold like hotcakes to us empty-nesters.
Please think about demographics. WHO wants a Buick Envision? Not a "prestige" buyer - the three shields don't have the glamor of a three-pointed star. Not a "biggest is best" buyer - the Escalade is there for them. Lots of seniors have gotten over themselves. We want good value, quiet, comfort, easy to get into and out of. The Envision looks like a good candidate.

Buick Envision S VS Volkswagen Tiguan L

I am currently working in China and I want to buy a car. Which car is better between the two? I'm thinking about it. Both models are gasoline. The price of the car is similar.

The ‘Envision S’ I'm trying to buy is not the top version, so the interior is just black. The bright color is so pretty ㅠㅠ I am short of money. And fuel efficiency is not very good. ‘Tiguan’ has a good car, but Volkswagen is said to have turned the invisible parts into cheap ones to make up for the big losses it incurred last time. The interior Envision is stylish and the Tiguan feels neat and well organized. I think they are both pretty.

Please give me some

can you do a full in depth review on lincoln aviator

My 2016 F150 XLT broke down and I bought this car 2021 Buick envision. It is not very spacious when compared to the truck that I had. It’s not very good for people with back problems. This car does have a lot of great features. This car does ride good but when my back hurts it is extremely difficult to find a position to be in while driving to help ease the pain but the heated seat does help some my truck that I had was much better for this new truck drove good. It had a whole lot more space but it did not have all the great features of this car.

can you do a review renge rover velar vs jaguar f pace

[shaesham]

I can dig that interior. Maybe its the white leather but it feels airy.

[edranft]

Wow, that’s a lot of comments! Comes down to a test drive and what you can afford. The parts are probably sourced from several countries like everything else.

[peoniesandroses]

If this is not a luxury then which one would you say is a luxury car?

[lawrenceyy]

I live in Southern California and have never seen one on the road yet. They are rarer than Lambos and Ferraris here haha

[diabeticdoode]

I have a 2020 Envision. I love it, but I think this new one is so much better looking. I agree about badging, Buick still has that “stodgy” image that just isn’t true anymore. Curious to see even the next gen Envision- hope Buick takes it up a couple notches

[chooseymomschoose]

Would somebody please call this man's mother and ask her to dress him?

[samuelchang]

I'm afraid Chinese consumers make no connection between the brand Buick and royalty

[Hi_Its_Chris]

You could have a Mazda CX-5 for at least $10, 000 less and it's more fun to drive and it holds its value MUCH better.

You lost me at "made in China..."
