2023 Buick Envision Avenir - REVIEW and POV DRIVE - NICEST SUV Under $50k

In this video I review the 2023 Buick Envision Avenir... I was pleasantly surprised by how premium both the interior felt, and how the exterior styling was just that much nicer with some of the paint matching the Avenir trim gives you. One thing that's very nice about the Avenir is that, unlike the Germans, when you select this trim level - it comes LOADED.. Which is very nice. I also like how it's actually priced fairly for what you get. Is the Envision the right compact SUV for you? Watch this video and decide that for yourself...

Buick Envision

[MSgtRandyR]

I bought a 2022 Envision Avenir 2WD new last August. Almost 7000 miles on it to date and the car has been PERFECT. No issues as others have commented. Absolutely an amazing vehicle that does give Cadillac a run for its money. My commute is both freeway and city driving 49 miles each day, and my info screen shows an average MPG (combined) of 29.2 MPG....NICE!

This is absolutely the best review of this vehicle I have seen. I just bought an Envision and learned a couple things about it I didn't know watching this video. Great job. Oh and you are right, this car provides tremendous value for the money spent and it's very peppy for a four banger. I accidentally spun the tires during a hot take off yesterday. It made me smile.

I guess this is the most detailed tour to the Envision on Youtube. Thank you so much! You did an awesome job!

I absolutely love this vehicle. Test drove a mazda cx-5 because everyone said it was luxe for less, but it didnt compete. Thr cockpit is super spacious and plush. Feels like your sitting on a lazy boy sofa. And the panoramic sunroof makes it feel open and airy. I cant wait til mine gets here.

Another great review . . I bought a 2021 version of this car at the end of the model year and LOVE it. I sold my 2016 CT6 because it rode too firmly for me and it was hard for me to get out of it with my health issues. My Envision rides much better than the CT6. I test drove MANY other SUV's before I bought my Avenir, but liked it the best. I've watched all of your reviews of the Yukon and think I'll test drive one of them to see if one of them will be my next vehicle. ( I have probably watched THIRTY different YouTube vehicle "reviewers" over the past couple of years and you do a very good job . . all of yours are predictable, meaning you start at the front and go around, the same way every time, just like the guys who have been doing this a lot longer than you - don't change a thing !!! )

We're looking at purchasing a used '23 Avenir. This review was a great help to us in making a decision to buy. Thanks!

Just purchased a 2023 envision Avenir last night. This video was so informative. Thank you and you did a great job going over the vehicle.

What an amazing review--so detailed and exactly what I needed to know. I'm checking out a 2023 Avenir tomorrow! I drove LaCrosse (two for a total of 13 years) and NEVER had a hiccup but unfortunately got rust thanks to all the salt here on roads in PA. May the Envision Avenir be at least 75% of what my LaCrosses were. Thanks again.

1:30. Great video. I purchased a 23 Envision Avenir 3 months ago. It's a great vehicle. The only draw backs in my opinion is the lack of turn signals on the side mirrors, no place to set my cell phone on the door pulls as it's just a hole for your hand and finally no place to put sunglasses.

Very nice review.
Something not mentioned is the crash prevention visual, audio and tactile alerts.
My fav is the way my driver seat jiggles as one method of alert. It's a GM thing and one of the major reasons I selected Buick over Acura.
Also a power lumbar is part of Avenir package.

Hi, Paul, first and foremost I've seen a lot of reviews but I've never seen a car review above 20 minutes this review is 36 minutes you gave a full detailed review which is awesome this Avenir looks upscale and also grey and blue is my favourite colour in this car there are many spaces we can put the miscellaneous item in that space I like an interior whisper beige w/ Sonny accent seats l l like that one however I heard Booz sound before very soft sound I do not doubt to this car whatsoever main thing I like this Buick centre lovo it's kind gun bullet thanks for making this review.

[jimbopsvidz]

Thank you for this review. I was in the process of buying a GMC Canyon AT4 yesterday but after watching this I had to give the Envision a try first. They only had one blue one on the lot, an Avenir AWD. I drove it home and I really liked it, and so did my wife - probably just because it's blue.
I ended up choosing the Envision, so now I'm a stereotypical 61 year old with a Buick.
Until the turbo kicks in, that is.

I am waiting for my 2023 Envision Avenir AWD. After test driving a few other SUV the Avenir was the best option for the price. I was told that the Avenir will now be shipping the side blind zone and cross traffic option and the lumbar support in the seats. I figured it will be worth the wait. This review also made up my mind in waiting and not choosing another vehicle.

Bought my 2023 Avenir one month ago and simply love it! Great vehicle! Thanks for your review!

[danielmiedema]

I have an Xt5 and I can't see how this compares to a caddy with its fake exhaust, 4 cylinder engine compared to my 6 cylinder. Doesn't this have the kick feature or the remote control for the tailgate? Even my door handles light up

[jaycatania]

Love this color. I was going back and forth between the CX-5 and the Envision, but your review sold me. Thanks. Not sure I can afford the Avenir. We’ll see. That is one, sweet ride.

[johnwayne]

I have a 2022 Black on Black Avenir AWD. One thing that doesn't get much attention, is the night driving. The headlights on the Avenier are stupidly bright. I sometimes feel sorry for incoming traffic. After i got the recall update to dim the DRL at night, I no longer get flashed thinking i had my brights on.

[terryouderkirkful]

Thank you, excellent 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. To be honest, 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.

My 91 year old father just got the essence premier so we got out of the dealer late and it was dark so I said I’ll drive home, it rides like a caddy it is whisper quiet inside I was comfortable driving it within 5 to 10 minutes .Buick is a underrated vehicle it’s not your fathers Buick anymore it is a smart man’s caddy without the problems, everything you mentioned in the review is true, this was a pleasure to drive and your relaxed and comfortable driving. I told the salesman I was too young to drive a Buick, boy was I wrong.

I just purchased the Avenir model(avenier is French for “future”) Like the future of Buick. Fortunately mine does have the blind spot monitoring and the rear cross traffic alert. I chose Cinnabar metallic red paint and the Whisper Beige Leather seats. Very excited. Traded in a 2016 GMC Terrain SLT, which I liked, but the transmission went out at 49, 000 miles. Bummer. Anyway I now have a great big smile of anticipation.😎
