How it scores for you10 scores
A hushed, roomy compact crossover that trades driving excitement for comfort and value, with decent economy and no crash-test record yet.
Recalled far less often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); none of its 4 recalls were serious. About 3% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,500 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 56% of cars we track.
25.2 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 53% of other SUVs we track.
Roomy rear seat for a compact crossover, though a five-seat two-row layout only.
228-hp 2.0T and 9-speed are smooth and adequate; tuned for calm, not engagement.
Standard touchscreen with wireless CarPlay; 2024 refresh brought a large 30-inch display - solid for the price.
QuietTuning, supple ride, and upscale cabin feel remain the Envision's strongest suit.
Luxury brands like Buick tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 1,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
