The 2021 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.

2021 Buick Envision Avenir 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
Just purchased this wonderful midnight moon blue Envision Avenir 3 weeks ago. It has the whisper beige interior which I love. The small SUV is so Buick. Rides like a dream. So quiet. Many Avenir tech features. Get ready to learn if this is your first technological featured vehicle. Very easy. Looked at all trim levels. Avenir is the best! Did not go with AWD. Didn't feel living in … Florida was necessary but is another feature
Everything is at eye level. HUD for the first time is terrific. Love the high definition rear view mirror camera! Only option not offered is power folding side mirrors. Odd. Had it on my last vehicle and truly missed. Love the toggle lift up and push down gears on console. Spacious. Excellent interior trim in my opinion; not overboard. Has many luxury features without the price tag. Don't let the inline turbo 4 cylinder fool you. Great gas mileage so far and plenty of power. Take a look and consider Buick! You will not be disappointed. 100% made in China and imported to US. Odd again but not your father's Buick.
Next Generation Envision

2021 Buick Envision Preferred 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
Purchased a 2021 Envision for my daughter. Preferred trim in Summit White with the Sport Touring Package and Comfort And Convenience Package. Highly recommend the Comfort package. You get a lot of amenities for the money. Vehicle looks very modern. We test drove the new Ford Bronco and a Chevy Blazer. The Envision is far more superior. Very smooth and quiet ride with the 20 inch wheels. … Dash layout is impressive with the display screen angled toward the driver. Seats are comfortable. The standard safety features are awesome. Glad there is a switch to turn off the engine stop start feature. Visibility is good. Plenty of engine power. The problem at this time is finding what you want due to the shortage of new vehicles available for purchase. I had to drive over 500 miles to purchase the vehicle. Highly recommend the 2021 Envision.
Update: We have owned the vehicle in our family for just over three years. It has held up well. Other than routine oil changes, the battery has been replaced and we purchased a new set of tires a few months ago. Just over 56,000 miles driven thus far. One issue that has been a concern involves the black sport trim on the outside of the vehicle. Since the vehicle has the Sport Touring Package, there are quite a few of the glossy black panels on the vehicle. The outside coating on the doors around the windows on both the driver and passenger doors has peeled off. I consulted a local body shop owner and was told it is common for this to happen because the black appliqué panels do not have any clear coat on them and the peeling is caused by UV rays. It looks pretty bad in that it takes off the black gloss shine. You might keep this in mind if you are looking at buying an Envision with the Sport Touring Package.
Phantom Massaging Drivers Seat

2021 Buick Envision Avenir 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
I replaced my 2017 Buick Envision Essence in May 2021 with a 2021 Buick Envision Avner. I enjoyed all the new technology found in this vehicle. The ride is relatively quiet, however there is some road noise which can be attributed to the 20 inch Continental tires. Just recently, the massage function on the driver's seat has a mind of it's own. It will inflate on its own and there is … no way to turn it off. I have had it to two dealerships and one thought they had solved the issue. As I was leaving the dealership lot, it again inflated on its own. I have taken it on a trip and it inflates and deflates for 25 minutes and then shuts down. When I stop and restart the vehicle, so does the inflator. I will be making another appointment at the dealership, but will also call GM Customer Service looking for a remedy. This is not acceptable for the money I paid for this trim level..

2021 Buick Envision Avenir 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
I love my new car. i downsized from an Enclave and the smaller size is so much better for me. easier to handle easier to drive. Has enough power and is very comfortable. Love all the added features especially the large navigation screen so easy to see and control. Still have lots to learn to love it even more
