- Quiet interior at highway speeds
- Smooth ride over bumps
- Pleasing number of premium features for the price
Cons
- Interior materials fall short of luxury expectations
- Smaller-than-average cargo area
What's new
- No major changes for 2022
- Part of the second Envision generation introduced for 2021
Situated between the smaller Encore GX and the larger three-row Enclave, the 2022 Buick Envision is a small luxury SUV that offers a fair number of features at a competitive price. Buick gave the Envision a much-needed redesign for 2021 so this year's model is effectively unchanged.
The small luxury SUV segment is a crowded and competitive one. The Mercedes-Benz GLC and Volvo XC60 lead the way with their European refinement, while Acura's RDX offers excellent handling and a comfortable interior. If you want to keep costs down, Mazda's near-luxury CX-5 can be loaded up for thousands less than the aforementioned luxury brands. Overall, we think Buick's Envision is a competent SUV but it'll be worth your while to shop around. Read our Expert Rating below for our complete breakdown of its biggest hits and misses.

The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.
7.4 /10
The Buick Envision is an average small SUV in nearly every metric. This new-generation model is certainly an improvement over the prior one, but it doesn't really stand out against the likes of an Acura RDX, BMW X3 or Volvo XC60.

Buick Envision vs. the competition
2022 Buick Envision
2021 Acura RDX
Buick Envision vs. Acura RDX
The Acura RDX offers a very appealing mix of comfort, performance and features. It has more power than the Envision and results in quicker acceleration. The RDX is more entertaining to drive around turns too. In the Buick's favor are an easier-to-use infotainment system and higher fuel economy.
Buick Envision vs. Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class
The Mercedes-Benz GLC didn't make it to the top spot in our small luxury SUV rankings by accident. From performance to comfort and style, the GLC has a wide array of strengths that make it very appealing as a daily driver. The Envision does hold advantages with a larger cargo capacity as well as a lower price.
Buick Envision vs. Mazda CX-5
The Mazda CX-5 might not be classified as a luxury SUV but that doesn't mean it offers anything less than a premium look and feel. If you're willing to tolerate a slightly firm ride, the top-of-the-line CX-5 is less expensive than the Envision, is quicker from 0 to 60 mph, has more rear legroom, and offers a larger cargo capacity than the Buick.
