Car doors not appropriate for winter driving
We like the looks of the car and the ride. Cargo space is small. Our biggest complaint is the style of the car doors. The bottom of the doors are open to all elements of the weather. When you open any of the doors in the winter, slush and snow fall out, sometimes on your shoes and slacks, if you are not careful. We contacted Buick about the issue and was told there is nothing they can do to resolve this issue. Even in the summer, the bottom of the doors collect sand and gravel. If we would have known this when we looked at the vehicle, we would not have purchased it. Lesson learned.

Love our 2023 Envision Essence AWD
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 to have plenty of power for merging with freeway traffic. We like how it handles around town, and it is very smooth, comfortable and quiet on the interstate. Sport mode definitely makes it more sporty. I have used that around town a few times. We like how the exterior and interior looks and feels upscale and up to date for its price.

Surprisingly fun to drive
Looked at the sticker and saw that 91% of the vehicle is made in China. The car looks good inside and out looks and feels good driving, Good sound dampening, suppresses road noise well at highway speeds. Trim underneath and around the seat base looks cheaply made but the fact, doors and Leather upper seats get your attention more and feels comfortable. Mirrors side view and rear view seem tiny to me as does the steering wheel. Transmission is a little jerky at times. Fuel economy is okay, not horrible, but having a tough time averaging more than 27 combined, getting 30 mpg at best at 65 mph hwy speed but drops off at higher speeds. Quick and responsive and fun to drive.

Do not buy a 2023 Buick Envision
I purchased the car brand new with 11 miles. From day one, I have had issues. The brakes squeaked from the beginning. I kept being told that I needed to drive it for a while and get the coating worn off the brake pads. It continued and I constantly called the dealership complaining that a brand new car should not have squeaking/squealing brakes. They finally replaced the front brakes at approx 7500 miles. I picked the car up and before I drove it out of the lot, I heard a clunking noise. Took it right back and they said it was the calipers. The squealing continued and they finally replaced the back brakes. At this point the car didn’t even have 8000 miles on it. Once both sets of brakes were replaced the squealing stopped and then I am driving it one day with 10,914 miles on it and I get a notice to have the transmission checked. I thought that ok, it needs to go in for service, and 15 minutes later, the car just stops. Won’t accelerate at all. I live in the mountains and there aren’t shoulders on many of the roads. Thank goodness I was able to coast to a wide spot where I could get off the main road. I have to call for a tow just to get home and then the next day have it towed to the dealership, which is about a 30 min drive from my home. After five days, I am now told that the gear shift push button assembly needs to be replaced. And, the part is back ordered and it could be months before it comes in. I am forced to rent a car again, because mine is in the shop. Nobody know or can tell me when the part might be available. I have had the car for 15 months, it has 10,914 miles on it, has had regular service from the dealer and I am renting a car for who knows how long because they cannot get the part for a car with less than 12K miles on it. I have spent more money renting vehicles why this car has been in the shop than I care to talk about. I will never ever purchase a Buick again! Buyer Beware.
