Our Opinion - 2025 Buick Envision Review Buick wants you to think of it as a luxury brand competitor, but the small 2025 Envision SUV shows that its products are still very new. After a redesign last year that included a better interior and a front end based on the Wildcat concept car, the Envision now looks like it fits with the Buick Encore GX and Envista SUVs. A luxury car like the Envision must have a form that is attractive, flowing, tautly shaped, and almost unique. The Mercedes-Benz GLC-class, the Audi Q5, the BMW X3, and the Cadillac XT5 all come in the same kind of package. Also, the Buick’s four-cylinder turbocharged engine makes power, just like the engines of its rivals. Yes, the ride is smooth, as you’d expect from a Buick. The Envision looks up-to-date, has good-looking numbers, and costs a lot less than similar well-known luxury SUVs. Even in the premium Avenir trim, it falls short of luxury expectations due to subpar materials, less-than-ideal performance, and more interior noise compared to other cars in its class. What's New? The 2025 look of the Envision hasn’t changed since it was revised for the 2024 model year. Pros and Cons Pros Packed with great features. Comfortable seating. Reliable brakes. Cons Gravelly, clunky powertrain. Rivals feature more refined cabins. AWD is not standard. Engine, Transmission, and Performance A 360-degree outdoor camera system, automatic high-beam headlamps, and adaptive cruise control with lane-centering capability are just a few of the driver-assistance features that come standard on Buick cars.The following are important safety features: Typical automated emergency braking recognizes people. Lane-keeping assistance and standards lane departure warning. adaptive cruise control with lane-centering functionality is standard. Internal and External Cargo Capacity Even though it costs a lot, the Envision’s mid-range Sport Touring model comes with a lot of nice extras that you can choose to add. The only thing that isn’t normal is the leather seats. Even though the instrument panel looks futuristic and has a big 30-inch touchscreen with a nice mid-century modern shape, the environment inside is just fine, not great. The interior is spacious for a small SUV, but without the Avenir option, it lacks a stylish design. However, the Envision still stands out compared to its German competitors. The Avenir, on the other hand, has a massage function for the driver’s seat, heated and cooled front seats, and quilted leather on the inside. Also, the Envision is surprisingly useful for an SUV; in our tests, the back seats could be folded flat to make room for 21 carry-on bags. Fuel Economy and Actual MPG The EPA rates the Envision at 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, which is good for a small SUV. We’ll add the results to this story as soon as we can test the new Envision on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route. Infotainment and Connectivity If you want to connect, Envision will not let you down. They all have active noise cancellation, a nine-speaker Bose stereo, four USB ports, a SiriusXM satellite radio, in-dash navigation, a head-up display, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto that work wirelessly, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The big 30-inch touchscreen that holds the entertainment system and the driver’s gauges is what really draws people to it, though. Range, Charging, and Battery Life At our test track, the Buick took 7.3 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph, which wasn’t very impressive. However, most buyers should be happy with how well it performs on the road. Price and How to Choose The Avenir has many nice features, but we like the Sport Touring version better because it has a good number of standard features, like a blackout exterior design, without being too many. The Comfort and Convenience Package comes with a hands-free power liftgate, automatic climate control for two zones, an air quality indicator, automatic air recirculation, a universal home key, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats for the driver and front passenger.
