Smooth 2019 Envision Preferred

2019 Buick Envision Preferred 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I was looking for a small comfortable SUV with all wheel drive, remote start, good climate control, nice smooth and quiet ride at an affordable price. I found it in the Envision Preferred. So far so good in terms of meeting my needs. Only negatives so far are so/so mileage and how the supports block the side view. I don't drive a great deal so the mileage is not a big issue for me. The care is much quieter than my previous CX5 and the seats and total ride more comfortable. Buick was running a great special which meant the car fit my budget. I even like the bronze color. It is a little different than all the greys out there. Give it a try.

I was all set to buy a Volkswagen Tiguan or Honda CRV. The Envision was not even a consideration. Hubby is a GMC guy so we stopped in a dealer. He told them we wanted to see maybe the Envision and a Terrain. I was "meh" at best. But then I got in the Envision and was so happy. First I drove the FWD Essence it was nice but didn't have the sunroof. So they showed me the AWD Premium turbo and it was all over. I'm short and The visibility good for me, the power seats are amazing for this also. The outside is understated which I actually like but I don't think it photographs well. So definitely see it in person. The inside is totally glorious. So quiet and comfortable. Luxurious without being obnoxious. It is a powerful ride when I need it, too. The way the engine kicks back on in traffic is completely smooth, I don't even notice. Whereas the Tiguan was jerky and started harder. I usually only drive to get where I have to go. But now I'm finding excuses to go drive anywhere. Gas mileage is better than I expected. Anyway, it's the perfect size for my needs. I am not comfortable driving behemoth vehicles. This is roomy but great for city driving & lugging two kids in car seats. I'm beyond thrilled & so glad hubby took me to look at it. I don't think I'll ever be able to have another plain car.

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.

Leased the Envision 2019 preferred model 3 months ago. Overall the well appointed features and a powerful engine when you need it. Reviewers complain about the heating /cooling vents being to low on the dashboard but I like it the way, you don't need to see them you just got to feel them working. The exterior and interior are very stylish and with modern appealing looks. I give Buick an A+ and the fact that the whole vehicle was manufactured in China does not surprise me. Love the SUV.

My wife's previous vehicle was the GMC Acadia. She liked it, but it was just on the edge of being a little too big for her. The Envision is just the right size for her. The turbo and 9 speed really work well together and the shifts are barely detectible. Believe it or not, the mileage on the bigger Acadia was incredible...35 m.p.g. on the road. The Envision with AWD gets 26. But it's worth it because she is so much more comfortable driving it.
