  • Envy! - 2016 Buick Envision

    Smaller 2.0 liter motor has more power but worse gas mileage.

  • Buick lover who needed this size - 2016 Buick Envision
    By -

    this car is proving itself to be a perfect, all around vehicle for me. I have owned the car for 18 months now and am very happy with my choice. but the warranty is great and have owned other Buicks with no problems. I love the way the dash is lower so that the visibility out front is outstandingly clear. The car is very nimble and the steering is better than my previous Buick Enclave. Plenty of punch with this turbo engine, in fact it hardly acts as a four cylinder engine. The technology is greatly upgraded from my previous 2015 Enclave. Extremelythis size is right for us. The interior is of high quality material and well put together as you would expect of a Buick. If I would find anything on the negative side, it would be the price. The price is too close to the larger Enclave and I expected it to be less, but the intro price was compensated to be fair. After 18 months, this is all still true of this vehicle. We love our Envision.

  • I copied my wife! - 2016 Buick Envision
    By -

    My wife picked out the 2016 Envision for herself. We never agree on what to look for in a car. When I went to look at what she was leasing, I was so blown away by the features and quality of the vehicle, 1 week later, I leased one myself! We are a 2 Envision household! The lease value was also a very convincing factor. The monthly lease cost was similar to vehicles with an MSRP $10,000 less than the Envision. For the 2016 introduction in North America, only the Premium and Premium II trim is available. On next years model, when the full line of trim options are available, I doubt this "buyer friendly" lease situation will be available.

  • Fully loaded, looks like a bargain - 2016 Buick Envision
    By -

    We drove, and just ordered, a Premium II with the Driver Confidence package to get the Full-range Adaptive Cruise Control. With the panoramic room, the 49k msrp may look steep. But if youre shopping for a medium-sized luxury SUV/CUV, its unbeatable for what you get. We shopped for Suv/Cuv vehicles in its size range that met our requirements of having full-range acc, blis/cross-traffic, and ventilated or cooled seats. That eliminated Audi & BMW because you cant get one equipped that way. And ran a similarly equipped GLC300 up to over 55k. Compared to the NX, GLC and Discovery Sport, we found: Actually Cooled seats (also on the Discovery), rear seat climate controls, auto-dimming outside mirrors, rain sense wipers that can automatically turn on headlights (which is required in some states; also on Discovery Sport), head-up display (also on NX, $995 on GLC, part of $1800 package on Discovery Sport), passive locking, tire monitor shows actual tire pressures, blind spot detection includes turn signal warning (also on GLC) and closing-vehicle detection (also on Discovery Sport). Topped off with GMs safety alert seat so things like lane departure and parking sensors can rumble the seat instead of beeping.

  • Smooth ride, solid inside and out. - 2016 Buick Envision
    By -

    Update: We are seeing 32 mpg @65 mph for hours on end. Fully loaded the fuel economy drops to a respectable 30 mpg at the same speed. Very impressive in this segment to see a 2.0T 4,000 lbs SUV with AWD get into the 30s. My wife finally got to drive it out of town for business. She doesnt like all the elctrical nannys but boy does it move on the highway. Next up...wintertime driving. Coming from a 2013 and 2014 Cadillac, both of which I still have, the Buick is refreshingly solid and comforting in both riding and driving. We got a used 2016 Premium ll with roof and Driver Confidence. Plenty of head room with the sun roof in all seating positions. The Adaptive Cruise Control along with the self parking feature and lane assist are really neat features. The parking is neat show off feature that this car is very easy to park and see out of. The lane assist will have you bouncing off each side of the lane for miles, which is a little scary at first. The ride quality is refined compared to the stiffer, performance oriented Cadillac. The handling does not take a back seat to the softer suspension that this tracks and takes input better than a rental 2017 Escape we drove 6 hours to pick up the Buick.

  • A Must See and Drive! - 2016 Buick Envision
    By -

    We were trying to downsize from our GMC Acadia. Weve leased an Acadia for over 6 years and our youngest just left for college SO our full size SUV needs changed. We were seriously considering a full size sedan ( Buick Lacrosse or Toyota Avalon) BUT our salesman encouraged us to just take a look at the Envision. We wanted the moon roof and the navigation upgrade. This has a great ride and is fun to drive. Its true we have just taken possession but it fits everything we could ask for in a luxury SUV.

  • Quality luxury! - 2016 Buick Envision
    By -

    I test drove the Acura RDX and Audi Q5 and chose the Premium I AWD 2.0T model of the Buick not only because it had way more technology and safety options for a comparable price but also because the drive, quality and interior design was much better. This car has far exceeded my expectations and in my opinion is going to be a serious competitor in the luxury compact SUV market. The turbo engine is powerful and fun to drive. Loving the interior design and the technology is top notch. The quality inside and out is also top of the line. The lane departure assist and all the other safety features are way above the competition especially for the price point. Buick continues to impress!! Definitely worth a test drive if in the market for a new compact SUV!

  • How much more do you need? - 2016 Buick Envision
    By -

    I am 75 years old. I have had 6 Buick’s, as well as many other brands over the years. All of the Buick’s have had all the options available at the time. This care outshines the others cars by a lot. Have owned the car now 20 months. Have not had a single problem at all. I have the premium 1 model no moonroof. Sticker price 43k. This car was cheaper than the Audi with almost all of the same options. The stop start is not a bother at all. The engine restart in less than a second after your foot off the brake. Merging power and highway passing acceleration is more than enough. Cruising at 75 mph is no strain. The best thing of all is how quiet the interior is. There are active white noise speaker on the base of the exit handles on the ceiling. They nullify almost all of the road noise at ear level. Seats are comfortable. All controls easy to reach. Front and side vision better than the Audi. Gas mileage is dead on to what Buick says.

  • Buik Envision - 2016 Buick Envision

    The front seats are remarkably uncomfortable. I cant imagine how an engineer figured out how to combine a church pew, high school bleecher, and a cheap 1970s lawn chair, but they succeeded. And I dont think the Buick designers ever encountered a switch or knob they didnt like, or wanted to use. The adjectives I would use to describe this car are: squirley, buisy, jittery,. I would opt for a nicely equiped, low mileage pre-owned AWD wagon, maybe a Volvo.
