I wouldn’t change anything on it, it’s perfect.Who ever designed this Buick Envision deserves a raise.

I wish you did a night drive with the Envision. The dash is really nice at night and it has ambient lighting on the dash and the doors that you can't see in daylight that is really nice. Also, at night when you get close to the car, it lights up to greet you and at the rear end, it projects a "Bat signal" light on the ground to show you where to place your foot for the hands free power lift gate function....really cool. I miss my Lesabre that I recently retired, but I'm loving my Envision.

The Avenir is mostly a luxury trim package for the interior. The Sport package, ST, on the Essence trim level is like a black optics package for the exterior. I wish they would allow to combine the two because I want the look of the ST exterior with the luxury of the Avenir interior.

Buick builds their vehicles to go 300, 000 miles without any major issues. My 2005 Century went 253, 000 miles and no issues. Thank you Joe for reviewing the Envision.

This video’s only been out for 8 minutes and you’ve got over 21 comments - Raiti’s Rides is the TRUTH.

I agree with Joe! That Buick logo needs to be changed. Something more sportier that can entice the young buyers to purchase.

The fact that I watched a review on a Buick all the way through is proof of one of two things; #1- I'm really old, or #2; Buick is making cars someone in this country might actually want. Thanks Joe!

Buick is coming up for sure, a lot of competition out there though.

We went from 5 years with Mercedes to GM. We leased a 2019 Cadillac XT4 AWD sport pre pandemic. It was fully loaded with every option. The lease ended last month. We ended up leasing a 2022 Envision AWD Avenir. It was over 5k less MSRP. This car blows the XT4 out of the water with the interior. Ours has the rear mirror camera and a off-road mode and the armrest is comfortable. The weird this once you spend time in this car you will never want to drive anything without the infotainment angled at the driver. Great car at a great price.

I hope this SUV sells well! Solid review as always Joe!

[michaeltolsdorf]

What a beautiful dashboard design. Great work Buick. I will be heading down to my local Buick dealer for my Envision. Look at that thick leather steering wheel. Awesome suv.

[CarNut]

This is a great value vehicle that looks great. I hope that it is enough to bring Buick back into popularity in the US. People are sleeping on Buick here!! (Always have been a Buick fan boy for some reason)

[BertoJim]

Wow this compact SUV from Buick is looking sweet! The body style looks similar to some porche SUVs, especially from the back. The interior is beautiful. Buick did a good job with this new 2021.

Never in my day would I ever see a Buick that I would consider buying 👍🏼🙌🏼

[RickMentore]

The forward extending entertainment panel makes the featureless passenger deck look small. But yea, some stitching would have been nice!

[tedunguent]

Great review as usual, Joe. Really nice car even with the fake exhaust. The camera work was really good and seeing the road from the drivers point of view is a great angle. It's easy to like a premium/luxury car with every option. Especially if it's good looking inside and out.

Buicks are definitely not an “embarrassing” car to drive anymore. This things nice.

[michaelwillis]

I love it!!! I wish they would bring back the regal though. I test drove a 2020 regal and absolutely loved it. I didn’t buy it that day because I wanted to look around. Didn’t drive anything else that made me fall in love like the regal did. Went back to my dealership and it was gone. There wasn’t anymore left on the lot or in the surrounding area. I was disappointed. Buick’s are great vehicles. I will be test driving this envision because it looks amazing!!! I am 28 by the way. I don’t think Buick’s are “Old people” vehicles anymore!

[malindabroyles]

I have a 17 Envision. And yes the stitching on the dash makes a bigger statement. And there's blue led lights there with a soft center console. Not sure why they skimped there. Its my first buick. My 12th car though, but I Iove it.

[asianguru]

I owned 2 Acuras right now and one of those vehicles is an MDX. I saw a Buick Avenir at a store parking lot and I was stunned that it was a Buick. I never ever in my mind would ever consider buying a Buick. I might just go get of these used vehicle one day. I like this Avenir! Good video.
