The Buick Envista is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by General Motors and marketed under the Buick brand since 2022. It shares the GM VSS-F platform with the Chevrolet Trax (marketed as the Seeker in China).

Unveiled for the Chinese market in August 2022,[1] GM introduced the Envista in April 2023 in the United States and Canada.[2] The Envista is manufactured in Changwon, South Korea by GM Korea and in China by SAIC-GM.

Overview

In China, the Envista is equipped with the GM small gasoline engine (LYX), a turbocharged 1.5-liter gasoline straight-four engine that produces 181 horsepower (135 kW) and 183 pound-feet (248 N⋅m) of torque paired with a continuously variable transmission.

In the North American market, the Envista is powered by the GM E-Turbo engine (LIH), a turbocharged 1.2-liter gasoline straight-three engine rated at 136 horsepower (101 kW) and 162 pound-feet (220 N⋅m) of torque mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.[3] The Envista is offered in three trim levels: Preferred, Sport Touring (ST) and Avenir, each with front-wheel drive.[4]

Front suspension uses McPherson struts and rear suspension uses a compound crank semi-independent twist beam (or torsion beam) rear suspension with a Watts linkage standard on the Avenir trim and available on ST.[4]

The interior of the Envista features a single panel combining an 8-inch screen for driver instruments and an 11-inch infotainment screen. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are offered, as well as over-the-air updates and a surround-sound audio system.[2] The front door panels and dashboard feature stitched elements, and the Avenir and ST trim levels feature embroidered head restraints logos.[4]

Black 18-inch alloy wheels are standard on the ST trim, with 19-inch wheels available. Bright gray 19-inch alloy wheels are standard on the Avenir.[4]

The Envista has an EPA listed passenger volume of 97.5 cu ft (2.76 m3) and maximum cargo volume of 20.7 cu ft (0.59 m3) behind the rear seat and 42 cu ft (1.2 m3) with the rear seat folded.[4]
