There are plenty of premium compact crossover SUVs out there on the streets and highways of Sudbury, Lively, Chelmsford, Azilda, Val Caron, and Hanmer, and now there’s another in the seductive shape of the all-new 2024 Buick Envista. The Envista delivers in every area discerning shoppers would expect from a Buick, but not everything about this all-new model is what you might expect. It looks sensational, and the interior is as high-tech and premium as it should be, but the impressively affordable price will likely be a pleasant surprise.
The all-new 2024 Buick Envista aspires to revolutionize what a premium vehicle can be in the small SUV sector, creating a package where innovation and design intersect to deliver an exciting new addition to this competitive area of the market. The Envista gives the world of crossover vehicles a new point of view with its attractive appearance, generous storage capacity, and proportions ideal for the urban environment.
The Envista is a high-quality premium crossover that comes in at a price much more reasonable than some might expect, and this was done on purpose so that it might appeal to a wide variety of customers. The Envista looks to attract those transitioning from sedan ownership to SUV ownership, young professionals, and small families looking for a vehicle that combines the practicality of an SUV with the nimbleness and sportiness that are more commonly associated with a sedan. The Envista provides outstanding value for a highly competitive starting price while maintaining high levels of quality and sophistication.
The Wildcat EV concept inspired Buick’s new design language, and one of the distinguishing characteristics of the 2024 Envista is that it has adopted this language. This stunning contemporary design language is characterized by a low-profile silhouette, a forward-leaning nose, and a sleek, detailed grille design that proudly displays the new Buick logo. The Envista emanates sculptural beauty, with robust fender forms and a flowing waistline that exudes a sense of fluid motion. Despite its undeniable modernity, the Envista also draws inspiration from vehicles that are part of Buick’s past. The trademark wing lighting appears in both the headlamps and the taillamps, but it’s presented here in a more streamlined and precise form. Thanks to the large windows, the cabin is flooded with natural light, providing a welcoming and roomy interior that maximizes legroom and gives more space than any other small SUV that Buick has produced in the past.
The engine compartment of the Envista is home to a modern, sophisticated, and economical propulsion system. The powertrain comprises a 1.2-litre turbo engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The Envista delivers a lively and responsive driving experience thanks to its 136 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque, which exclusively goes through that six-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels. There’s no AWD version of the Envista because it’s not essential for a vehicle like this, and it helps Buick deliver a premium SUV at a great price and combined fuel economy of 7.8 L/100 km.
The Envista comes in three trim levels: Preferred, Sport Touring (ST), and Avenir. The Avenir trim is likely to be a firm favourite as it comes standard with a Watts Link suspension system, which provides a higher level of stability and makes for a more refined and quiet driving experience.
There’s plenty to like about how the 2024 Buick Envista looks and drives, but it’s also big on safety. The Envista comes standard with the Buick Driver Confidence package, including Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and IntelliBeam auto high-beams. Optional safety tech includes Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert to enhance driver awareness and peace of mind.
