The 2025 Buick Envista is a surprisingly stylish and affordable small SUV. It offers generous passenger room and a slick-looking interior. A small cargo area and the lack of available all-wheel drive are drawbacks, but overall the Envista appeals to buyers who want something that's small yet still feels grown-up.Read full review

Small cargo area

Overview

The Buick Envista is one of the most interesting vehicles the brand has released in years. OK, so maybe that's a low bar considering the unmemorable likes of Buicks such as the Regal and Cascada. But we mean it when we say the Envista is a compelling subcompact SUV. Its sleek and sporty styling will certainly catch your eye, yet it's also big on value. It's plenty comfortable, has easy-to-use tech features, and beats many of its competitors on price.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 Buick Envista Preferred 4dr SUV (1.2L 3cyl Turbo 6A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $2.96 per gallon for regular unleaded in Minnesota.}

Edmunds spotlight: Sloping roof costs you cargo space

The Envista is a stylish SUV, but that comes at a price. Its 20.7 cubic feet of cargo space is 4 to 5 cubes less than what some other rival crossover SUVs, such as the Honda HR-V, can hold. This won't be a big deal for commuting. But if you are making frequent runs to Costco or need a family-oriented SUV, the Envista probably isn't the best choice.

Competitors to consider

You should consider the Chevrolet Trax. It's mechanically related to the Envista and similarly priced but offers more cargo space. Looking for something sportier? Check out the Mazda CX-30, which has sharper handling and more power. The Volkswagen Taos has a nicer interior, so it's worth a look if interior design is important to you. Read our test team's Expert Rating below to learn more about how the 2025 Envista stacks up.

edmunds TESTED

We drove the 2025 Buick Envista on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Driving experience

8.1/10

How does the Buick Envista drive? Despite the Envista's small three-cylinder engine, it manages to feel plenty peppy around town and while merging up to highway speeds. At our test track, the Envista accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 8.8 seconds. That's a bit quicker than average for an extra-small SUV. The Envista's transmission is generally responsive and smooth-shifting.

In our testing, the Envista stopped from 60 mph in a fairly average 125 feet, but we liked its firm-feeling pedal around town and found it was easy to control the brakes for smooth stops. The Buick's handling was a pleasant surprise. Body roll is well controlled, and the Envista proved to be somewhat eager on some of our favorite on- and off-ramps.

Comfort

8.1/10

How comfortable is the Buick Envista? Despite the Envista's small size, there's plenty of passenger room front and back. The Buick's sleek styling does reduce headroom compared to its more conventionally styled twin, the Chevy Trax, but it's not to the point of making you feel claustrophobic.

The Envista's climate system has easy-to-use physical buttons and air vents for rear passengers. The cabin cools quickly, and as a bonus, the heated seats and steering wheel are also quite effective.

Wind and road noise levels are also higher than we'd expect from a Buick, but it wasn't so loud as to interfere with conversation. The diminutive three-cylinder engine has a distinctive sound but is well isolated and quieter than some rival four-cylinders.

In-cabin tech

9/10

How’s the tech? The Envista lacks a built-in navigation system and voice commands. Still, it's easy to connect your smartphone's apps through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, both of which work wirelessly. We had zero issues with either wired or wireless connection, something you can't say for every vehicle with wireless smartphone connectivity. And there are four USB ports for charging (two type-A, two type-C) spread across both rows.

Storage & cargo

7/10

How’s storage and cargo? Though the Envista is very similar to the Chevy Trax, the Buick's swoopy styling eats into its practicality. Where the Trax offers 25.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity, the Envista offers only 20.7 cubes. That means it also trails the Volkswagen Taos by some margin. That said, the Envista can hold more than a week's worth of groceries without a problem, and its rear seats can be folded for larger items. Inside, the Envista offers front passengers plenty of storage options for personal items, but rear passengers will have to make do with only door pocket storage. There isn't even a center armrest for the back seat.

Value

7.6/10

Is the Buick Envista a good value? The Buick Envista is well built and has the look and build quality of a considerably more expensive crossover. It is a good value in the segment, though interior materials are a mixed bag, as with all of these tiny SUVs. The only other real knock against the Envista's value is the lack of available all-wheel drive.

Warranties are fairly standard, with three years/36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper and five years/60,000 miles of powertrain coverage. But the Envista steps ahead of some of its competition with six years/70,000 miles of roadside assistance and one year of free maintenance.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

MPG

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Envista will get 30 mpg in combined city/highway driving. During our time with the Envista, we saw fuel economy reach nearly 36 mpg on open roads on one tank as well as numbers in the low 20s during some particularly bad traffic. Overall, we think the Envista will have no problem matching its EPA figures.

X factor

8/10

Sophistication isn't usually associated with vehicles in the Envista's price range. Yet this little Buick fully delivers with distinctive, luxury-like styling and an enjoyable driving demeanor. This is a little crossover SUV that you'll be proud to park in your driveway.

Which Envista does Edmunds recommend?

Almost all of the equipment that is standard on the top-level Avenir trim is available à la carte on the base model. That's why the base Preferred trim is our choice in the Envista lineup. Buyers can pick and choose the options and packages that are important to them and save significantly compared to opting for a higher trim level.

Got two Envistas, get rear suspension upgrade

LA city slicker, 01/16/2024

2024 Buick Envista Sport Touring 4dr SUV (1.2L 3cyl Turbo 6A)

We got two Envistas. One was an ST with CQ I and CQ II packages. Another was a rare no-option Avenir because optioned-out Avenirs get closer to other makers' superior offerings; every $1k increase greatly changes the value proposition. Overall, these cars provide more than their price point should offer, but there are no miracles in terms of what you get for the money. Our ST has the … base torsion beam rear suspension with 225 mm section width Goodyear Assurance tires on 18" rims. The Avenir has 19" rims on wide for its weight 245 mm section width tires Continental ProContact TX tires plus the rear suspension is a Watts linkage setup (still not fully independent). You may think the taller sidewalls of the base ST tire setup would ride better. Not at all. The ST rides well on the highway, but on the bumpy Los Angeles city roads at lower speeds, the ride is mediocre, especially on rippled pavement, tar strips, road reflectors, and speed bump half-rounds. I'm almost clenching my teeth if I see bumps coming up. The low-speed city-road ride on my '95 Trans Am, '98 Trans Am, and '15 1LT Corvette was better. The Avenir, by contrast, rides like a gem. It feels as comfortable or more so than my '10 Audi A5, '13 Cadillac ATS (praised for its ride/handling tuning), '19 Genesis G70, and mother's '22 BMW X3. All the video and press reviews miss this. One can get the same wheel/suspension/tire setup as the Avenir in the ST through the Experience Buick Package (EBP) that also gets you a tiny moonroof. The Preferred can theoretically get the EBP with arguably nicest looking rims (although 18", not 19" like ST-EBP or Avenir), but it doesn't seem like Buick produces any in reality. Dealers also don't want to custom order this overseas built car. Speaking of production, Buick is hardly making any of these yet. As of writing, there are no Avenirs or STs between 200-300+ miles from downtown LA. At the same time, word is getting around on these cars' overall appeal that it's much harder to get deals if you can buy one than in summer/early fall. As a result, some dealers are listing lightly used Envistas for up to thousands more than MSRP. The motor is much quieter than the '21 Encore GX 1.2L I3 we had and it's as refined as the best four-cylinders in its class. Some magazine reviews say this motor is more refined than NA 4-cylinder rivals that don't benefit from turbo muffling. Whatever sound comes through is more pleasant than a typical 4-cylinder. This I3 has some complex timbre of an 80s V6 American family sedan. Since these are driven around parking-lot-like LA streets, the available acceleration is good enough. A snappy 0-45 mph is all we need and it delivers. But if you drive hilly areas at higher speeds with multiple passengers, you may need to look elsewhere or shell out more $. Motor Trend got 8.5-sec. 0-60 mph on an 18" tired Trax; as good as "quick" sports sedans in the early 1990s. Maybe our ST would be close to that. 0-60 mph is 9.3-9.4 sec. for Envistas with larger 19" rim/tire. Fuel economy is good and doesn't underperform EPA's rating. Some online got up to 42 mpg highway. Consumer Reports gets 31 mpg combined on their Trax. Noise-level wise, both cars are quiet up to around 70 mph. Buick's quiet tuning may make this a deal-maker over the Trax. Car and Driver got 68 dBA at 70 mph for their wider tired Avenir, 1 dBA quieter than a Lexus NX. However, unlike many luxury cars we had that get modestly louder to 90+ mph, this Envista gets rapidly louder above 70 mph from primarily tire noise. The seats are reasonably comfortable in the ST for shorter rides, but the seat bottom cushions are a bit short for my 5'10" height, and the padding is minimal/firm. The Avenir's leather front seats are modestly more comfortable. Rear seat room, especially legroom, is a big bright spot. It may be class-leading and I think it's more than the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry rear seat legroom. Interior styling and features are outstanding and punch well above its price point. I don't understand why some reviewers ding the virtual cockpit's excessive bezel on the right side when you can't get a virtual cockpit on virtually anything under $30k. I rather have the artistic shape with bezel than a tiny bezel and a sharp corner. At least the screens are on the bigger or best-in-class range. Fit and finish is excellent too. The flat-bottomed steering wheel is a nice bonus that Buick didn't have to put in, but they did. You don't feel like you're in a bargain penalty box. The radio is OK and tolerable if you have a good source (e.g., Tidal high resolution and bit rate through wired connection). Hard and virtual controls are excellent. The wireless charger, however, seems to be useless. The exterior styling is good too, and can be excellent depending on your tastes and options. It looks like a MB GLE Coupe from the rear and distantly like a Lamborghini Urus from the front. This car is long for its price class, and rivals look dinky by comparison. Trunk space is excellent. The sloping back window cuts into the height, but at 20.7 cubic feet of space with rear seats up, that's still 0.1 cubic fee more than a Ford Crown Victoria. TRIMS/OPTIONS TO GET: If you drive on bumpy roads at lower speeds, get any trim with the EBP option or Avenir. If you want sweet spot value, a Preferred or ST with CQ I and II give stuff you can't match anywhere else (incl. Trax) for the $. Preferred with no option or color only option is good if you want the cheapest virtual cockpit car that looks good.

We were looking for a commuter car with good mileage in the 20k range. Sadly, we were unhappy with the offerings… so dealer showed us an Envista. Pretty amazing car…. Just what we needed. It is comfortable enough for our needs. We call it a “two hour car”… meaning no trip over two hours due to seating position and small seats. Only complaint is that the engineers decided that it …

Finally, I'm back in a Buick after 10 years and I love it! The ride is excellent. It has many safety features I didn't know existed. As a senior citizen, I do feel safer. The interior feels very luxurious. We like the screen features; it was fairly easy to get used to. I purchased an Ocean Blue Metallic Envista; no other color would do. I'm receiving a lot of looks and compliments on it. …
