2025 Buick Envision

Price Range: $36,500 - $46,200

The 2025 Buick Envision is an average small SUV in nearly every metric. This latest-generation model is certainly an improvement over the previous one, but it doesn't really stand out against the likes of an Acura RDX, BMW X3 or Volvo XC60.Read full review

2025 Buick Envision Review

by Dan Frio

Smooth ride over bumps
Pleasing number of premium features for the price

Smaller-than-average cargo area

Part of the second Envision generation introduced for 2021

Overview

Hear us out: The 2025 Buick Envision might be one Buick's coolest designs since the Grand National of the 1980s. While we duck to avoid projectiles aimed at us, consider the Envision's shark-nosed front end, bold black grille, wide rear fenders and stubby back end. It looks stylish, streaky (especially in red), and positively Italian. Dashing style isn't the only thing the Envision has going for it, though. It's also comfortable, fuel-efficient and supremely quiet. In 40 years, we don't envision the Envision trading for three times its original price (and sometimes six figures) like the Grand National, but for a modern small SUV, it's an attractive pick.

Edmunds spotlight: Style backed up by substance

Style being the finicky, subjective measure that it is, what else does the Envision offer to compete in a cutthroat class of compact SUVs? For one, all-wheel drive comes standard for a lower price than most of the luxury alternatives. The Envision also comes with a bunch of helpful driver assist features and an expansive 30-inch dash display that combines a digital gauge cluster and the infotainment touchscreen. The Buick also has a smooth ride and impressively quiet cabin.

Competitors to consider

Buick has long explored the sweet spot between mainstream and entry-level luxury, and the Envision remains on-brand. It's priced higher than mainstream choices like the Mazda CX-50 or Volkswagen Tiguan, but even in its top Avenir trim, it rings in at less than luxury alternatives like the BMW X3 or Volvo XC60 and nearly the same as the Lexus NX. But while the Envision is packed with plenty of upscale features, it still lacks the polish, especially inside the cabin, and cachet of the European and Japanese brands. Read our Expert Rating below to see if the Envision appeals to your luxury sensibilities.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict

Average

7.4

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Envision drive? Mat the gas and the Envision reaches 60 mph in 7.7 seconds, which is decently quick for a small SUV. From the driver's seat, it doesn't feel that quick, which could be a bonus for those who prefer quiet confidence over theater. The gas pedal is immediately and pleasingly responsive. The brakes are also better than average. Emergency stopping distances are short, and the vehicle remains composed and controllable. The pedal feel is reassuring.

The handling, even with some notable body roll, is decent. The Envision is not an SUV to have fun with, but it feels confident at sensible speeds.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Envision? The front seats have enough adjustments for most drivers to find a preferred seating position. But the bottom seat cushion is a bit short for taller passengers. The padding is on the firm side and can create some hard spots after a few hours. The massage functions are weak compared to premium luxury versions, but they're a welcome relief when you start feeling those hard spots.

The ride quality is praiseworthy. It's biased toward softness and smooths over many imperfections that other SUVs ride more harshly on. Helping matters is a very quiet cabin that effectively eliminates most wind and road noise.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The interior design has a clean, understated look. Buick pleasingly canted the center dash section toward the driver to make it easier to reach. The push/pull button gear selector is more intuitive than alternatives from other carmakers, and it doesn't take up too much space on the center console.

The interior space is average for the class, which means taller passengers will likely feel cramped on a long trip. Outward visibility is helped by sensibly sized roof pillars and crisp resolution in the available surround-view camera system. Overall, there's not much to complain about, but also there's not much to praise.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard, which means you don't need to use a USB cord to integrate your phone with the touchscreen. Unfortunately, Apple CarPlay with the wireless connection was very slow to respond in our testing, so we had to resort to using the USB cable instead. The Envision's native voice command system is OK, but it doesn't recognize natural speech commands.

The available 10-inch touchscreen looks sharp. But Buick's decision to put the infotainment controller knob right next to the screen is puzzling. You have to reach to the dashboard to use the touchscreen anyway, so why put them together? Locating the controller on the center console where your hand typically rests would have made more sense.

The Envision's driver aids such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance are well tuned and operate smoothly. We never experienced any false alarms. Audio quality from the Bose system degrades at higher volumes, and the bass lacks punch. At moderate volume, the quality is decent but not impressive for an upgraded system.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? With 25.2 cubic feet of cargo space, the Envision cargo area is well below what the typical small SUV offers. Buick hasn't added any clever storage bins or shelves, but there are some hooks that you can use to secure grocery bags. The liftover height is about average, and the available hands-free hatch function works well.

Interior storage is adequate, with moderately sized door pockets, cupholders and center armrest bin. The wireless charging pad can help keep your phone in place. Got kids? Installing a large rear-facing infant seat will likely impinge on front seat space, but the car seat anchors are easy to find and access.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the front-wheel-drive Envision will get 26 mpg in combined city/highway driving, which is pretty decent considering the power the turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes. We observed 28.8 mpg on our 115-mile highway-heavy evaluation route, confirming that the estimates are realistic.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Envision a good value? The Envision occupies an odd space: one that's a cut above your standard small SUV in interior materials quality and exterior appearance, but at a hefty premium. You might cross-shop it across both luxury and non-luxury segments, but ultimately it's not as good a value as a mainstream SUV or as luxurious as a top European small SUV.

Warranty coverage is typical for the class, but Buick's roadside assistance coverage is an excellent six years/70,000 miles. That's better than much of the competition. The first scheduled maintenance visit is also complimentary, a small but nice perk.

Wildcard

7/10

The Envision proves itself capable in terms of performance and comfort, but it isn't really outstanding in any given area. You can view it as a bargain luxury SUV or a nicer mainstream SUV, but we think it commands a buyer with very specific wants and it's not something that will appeal to the masses.

The Envision represents a step in the right direction for Buick. It's attractively designed and has an understated class. It makes a statement without saying much.

Which Envision does Edmunds recommend?

Since the Envision's base price falls closer to economy compact SUVs, we'd say go all the way and opt for the fully loaded Avenir. Luxury touches like massaging driver's seat, ventilated front seats, quilted leather and adaptive suspension make it a premium SUV that's still more affordable than traditional luxury stalwarts like the BMW X3 or Volvo XC60.

2023 Buick Envision Essence 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

Purchased ours 4 months ago and just positive things to say about it so far. The 10.2 inch screen is user friendly and uncomplicated and we like how it is angles toward the driver. Very clear and wide screen backup camera. Our salesman said it didn't have a Nav system, but it actually has Buick Maps + as long as you continue the Onstar Connected Services Subscription. The turbo seems …
