The Envision has a lot going for it. It is comfortable, has controls that are intuitive and easy to use, has sufficient power, quiet, smooth gearbox, plenty of space, and lots of useful tech (power liftgate, blindside assist, rear cross traffic alert, heated steering, remote start, to name a few). All trims come with at least HID headlamps, which makes night driving much better than with halogens. The external design is understated, but by no means unsightly. I can understand why this vehicle doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Edmunds criticism is that this vehicle is too pricey to be a normal SUV, but not luxury enough. For certain segment of buyers, it hits a sweet spot of not too pricey (or as luxurious) as Lexus and Audi, but much more put together than non-luxury SUVs. Unfortunately for Buick, I haven’t seen an Envision on the road where we live (other than us), and that is quite Ok with us. There are plenty of Encores and Enclaves, but don’t see many Envisions out there. If you want to go full luxury and has the budget for it, skip the Envision, but if you near-luxury with a fair price that falls in line with where they position this vehicle, it could be the right call for you. As a daily driver, this car does almost everything very well.

I previously owned a large SUV and it was more than I needed. This car is so easy to drive and good on gas. It has all the safety features. I wish I had seen this Buick before I bought my 3 row large SUV. I hope to drive it for a long time.

Bought the car on price point edmunds apparently made a mistake on my “private offer” and doubled one of the rebates and dealer honored that deal saved an extra $2750. So print the offer if it looks good. Like the car it’s quiet and rides well my only real dislike is that its built in China but so is most everything else.

Seems nice at first but be warned...THIS CAR WAS MADE IN CHINA WITH 95% CHINESE PARTS. If you like paying a premium price for Walmart quality, go for it. Just be sure to get the extended warranty - you will need it.
