The 2024 Buick Envista Avenir Combines A Sleek Design With Affordable Pricing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2024
- With new cars continuing to get more expensive every year, the 2024 #BuickEnvista is a refreshing new entry-level SUV that starts at well under $25,000 brand new. The new #Envista takes design cues from the stunning Wild Cat EV Concept from a few years ago and puts it on an affordable premium small SUV. Even the fully loaded #EnvistaAvenir checks in at around $30k and gives buyers a vehicle that feels like it should cost thousands more.

Honestly, it doesn't look bad. We need new cars to be under 30k
Amen to that
Should be under 20k with that pathetic engine..
@@HowItFailed- i agree. Those tiny pathetically weak engines are outdated with today's tech.
As tested 45k 😂
@@mannykings5 Don't forget dealer markup 🙄
What an attractive car. So glad Buick is stepping up its game. It looks good.
Not with that engine
Buick has stepped up there game around 2017, it's just no one was paying attention. All sporty and or elegant looking Buicks: 2018+ Regal Sportback (actually an Opel), 2018+ Enclave, 2017+ Lacrosse, etc. These are highly competitive from a looks perspective. They also have potent v6s and 4 cyclinder turbos.
@@LiquidSm0kefor $23k thats a steal. Clearly its not a sports car, and thats fine
@LiquidSm0ke don't knock it till you drive it... these aren't your grandpa's 3 cylinders.

What an NPC thing to say.
Just bought this car and I love it!
Well duh.. you just bought it
Do you still love it 7 months later?
Love this journalist … he is very captivating the way he presents himself. Poised, confident, humorous, and passionate about his work!
Yeah, I think he's one of the best on You Tube.
@@dtna Agree. This is mainly the only channel I watch for auto news.
Rainbow flag belongs to God
He has a severe case of Trump derangement syndrome 😮
Agreed! He is definitely my bible on all things auto. I am only interested in SUV models and he gets access to all of 'em including lux models like the Maserati Lavante. His delivery on all of the details for these vehicles and comparisons is like an amalgamation of Wikipedia, Google, and back-in-the-day Encyclopedia Britannica. The dude just knows his facts between models and upgrades from previous years. It's outstanding! I've tried giving other auto channels a try, but they aren't reliable, consistent, or coherent like Redline. You can tell the automakers respect Redline too bc he's invited to their locations and given vehicles to test sometimes for a whole week! PLUS he can give honest comments and negative critiques too about what he thinks an auto is lacking. I enjoy his full commentary and reviews! #BigFan
Imagine how cool it would be if it got a 3800 V6 under the hood. Those engines were built to last.
Holy crap you said it
G-d how hadn’t I thought of this?
No they don't ask any Traverse owner 🤒
@@southshore0007 That was the 3.6 liter V6 that had problems, not the 3.8 liter. I will never understand why GM axed the 3800 when it was already solidly reliable and had decent fuel efficiency for being a V6.
1.2 L, what a joke. Yeah 3800 was a good motor
Buick will sell a ton of these. Very nice looking and finally something affordable that doesn’t look cheap.
3 cylinder turbo, throw away after 80k miles 🤡
not meant to be kept for that long lol@@lawsonjames1639
@@lawsonjames1639the thousands of vehicles with the same engine that have 100k miles online care to differ. 🤡 stop thinking you know what you're talking about
With this powertrain? I doubt it!! I personally would never put my hard earned dollars on a 3 cylinder 137 hp vehicle 🤷🏼♂️
A hit American compact car…pinch me I’m dreaming.
That engine takes care of it for me, NO DICE!
I just picked up my Envista Avenir today. I love it!!!
Ordered mine black on black. Need to wait for mine.
Honestly, the outside is stunning. Completely surprised at how nice it looks.
I may have misjudged the Envista's styling. I absolutely love it! One of Buick's best designs ever! Yes an expensively "hot" version is definitely needed though, that has a much more plush interior
Buick has had some sharp looking cars over the last 5 years or so, some duds, but some truly underappreciated vehicles. I still think a satin metallic Buick enclave last gen is quite elegant and sporty looking. As far as power, they have cars on both spectrums... 2018/2019 buick lacrosse v6 is an extremely potent fwd sedan and the 2018+ Enclave is quite peppy even if mellow. Then you have vehicles like this and some of their smaller crossover and they are absolute snails...
@@bmshaven when I was really little American luxury was top tier, but quickly got overtaken by the German and Japanese imports. The Riviera was the last real design from Buick that I could somewhat appreciate, only that car was front wheel drive.
@@jasonknowledge8824 No question Buick got lost in the shuffle; however, they are not all boring and / or slow vehicles. In a sense, I would rather own a Buick since not everyone and their brother has them, at least near me. Buick is also BARELY 'near luxury'...they can't compete in the space they want to be in. They can do quiet and comfortable, but struggle a bit with everything else. I remember Hollywood Squares giving away Buicks...made me want one lol...

I brought mine last week. Love my car!
Me too !
Jeez...at least put a 4 cylinder engine in that thing.
Why, the 3 cylinder sounds so much better and there isn’t any performance advantage.
@@jacksteel7296 I think the issue with 3 cylinders that most people don't realize is that they have to work much harder than a 4 cylinder would in this car. It won't last as long compared to a 4 cylinder. And because they have to work harder than a 4 cylinder, the gas mileage isn't much better, if any better at all and it's louder and less refined.
Why complain when people aren't buying these for speed
Higher number of cylinder doesn't mean better though or else all cars with 12 cyclyder is better than 8 or 8 is better than 6 or 5 better than 4 or 4 better than 3 etc. Motorcycle with 1 cylinder can last forever with proper maintaining and there are CBR with over million miles original.
Only good thing bout this car is the transmission made by aisin/Toyota
Never thought about a Buick, until now. Nice job Buick. 💯😌
I'm really interested in that body style. Despite all the marketing speak, the long and thin proportions make it look less like a "coupified SUV" and more a lifted fastback sedan or a compact station wagon.
We are a young family and the first things I noticed are the rear legroom and storage. This car looks like it will easily accommodate rear facing and upright car seats and the trunk will fit our stroller. I like that there are cupholders in the back - this is an unfortunate miss on the new Trax. The plastics are actually a positive for me because they are so easy to wipe down. It is nice to see Buick is branding more of a family car.
I wish Buick would allow different ways to trim up their vehicles. I want the exterior look and design of the ST trim and the more luxury interior design of the Avenir trim. After years of having them separated, Acura finally allowed getting both the A Spec and Advanced packages together. Buick needs to follow suit.
Just bought mine two weeks ago black interior black exterior and I’m loving it🖤🖤🤗
I live in a place with real winter and I don’t have a rear wiper and I’ve never noticed until this video. I scrap my rear window before driving and I’ve never had any issues driving in the snow!
Many newly designed cross overs, hatche backs, and mini uts have stepped away from "upright rear glass", as those definitely need wipers. Slanted rear glass effectively helps to make rear windows more aero dynamic, less likely to build up road splash back grime, eliminating need for wipers. A rear defroster is best for iced rear glass as you never needed wipers on a sedan.
I looked at one today and there a great small SUV. Interior is comfortable and stylish. Nice line's.
Nice-looking! I think this might be the best color I’ve seen this car in so far (and I’ve been watching it)! I must say, though: I question the idea of putting chrome on the rear bumper. The ST trim might be better for this reason.
Buick has been doing great things for many years now. 👍🇺🇸👍
I just bought one today. I love it.
This host is great. I really love this car. I love my current car, a Buick Verano, too, but I think this will be my next car.
I wish I had seen this before I bought my new Camry! I like this
Ordered mine back on black Avenir. Have to wait for it.
I like the idea that they're selling a nice looking, well-equipped car for a really good price, and with a regular automatic too and not a CVT! I just wish the ST trim at least got a bigger engine. Maybe the 1.5T that the Chinese model gets.
Wait, you were in my home city recently? Dang that's awesome. Hope you enjoyed your time in Detroit.
I will say the no rear wiper is a BIG miss for me. Here in MI we use our wipers a lot, especially in the winter months.
a traditional torque convertyer automatic is nice, a 6 speed is a little disappointing in 2023 though. i'm sure with an 8 speed you could shave a little off the 0-60 and eek out an mpg or two. would also like to see a premium audio.
Wow, this actually looks nice!!! And the price, and my lord! Refreshing
Buick nailed the exterior styling and the mechanical design does seem to makes sense on paper. Looks like they are trying to go after the Mazda CX30 but a comparable CX30 with AWD seems to be at or near the same price point as the Envista Avenir. Does the car at least have a winter mode traction control system?
I just got the 2024 trax activ, pretty happy so far.
Love it. I’m looking for a new SUV. Love the style and the price. I know these are going to fly off the dealership parking lots!
Good review and not immediately dismissing it because it's a Buick
Reminds me of an X4 from the side & Infiniti Q55 in the rear. I like the sport back design
I like the new logo. Pretty sharp
Nice to see you driving around Ann Arbor MI
Great video and review. Does it have a cameras on the side view mirrors? I don’t think I noticed any. 🥴
Great video and info. thanx
I'd still go with an LS Trax just to get the analog gauges. Nothing I hate more than having a TV screen for a gauge cluster.
If you compare the trax highest trim and this envista avenir, which one is a better buy?
Great review as usual..
Looks like Buick is back. Great look and affordable price 🙂
Handsome car to my eyes and a very good value. I think Buick also has a longer warranty than does Chevy, Honda, etc. I think Buick has a winner here, something badly needwd.
Unfortunately Buick reduced their warranty to 3yr/36,000 miles bumper to bumper and 5yr/60,000 miles power train in 2021.
@@jeffmorse645 Thanks, I did not know that.
@@DSRQ1 It's a shame, isn't it?
@@jeffmorse645 Good luck getting the dealer & GM to honor the warranty
Did you just upgrade your videos to 4K? The Vids look great in this video!
Looks really nice and affordable.
The bigger engine from the trailblazer and awd would make this car better for me. Love the looks.
I just built my dream Envista for 27k.... its insane.. looks like a Uras and cheap... this is what company's need to do.
It looks nice. The only thing I need is an automatic trans, sunroof and navigation.
I like the external looks of this. A compact SUV with a sporty coupe vibe like the Mazda CX-30. Seems to have more rear seat room than the CX-30 though, but shares a less usable cargo area due to the sloping tailgate . Comparing similar trim levels, I would definitely opt for the KIA Seltos which is better in every way,. Also the 2024 Hyundai Kona blows this away.
No rear wiper on this is absolutely ridiculous, as well as no air vents in the rear seat. Not to mention it’s not AWD which is especially important to those of us that live in snowy regions. It may be slightly cheaper than the competition, but you sacrifice some pretty important features.
beautiful styling
If you watch enough of Sofyan's vids you learn the difference between a "Relllaativvvely solid-sounding thunk" and a "Nice solid-sounding thunk"
If you're impressed, then I'm impressed. That it has a multilink rear suspension is a nice surprise!!
Good review , not a big fan of Buick but this model is clean
They should have put the bigger engine from the Trax in it but still nice design for sure agree bout the rear wiper.. snow they are forgetting
Saw an actual Envista on the road for the first time today. Almost the size of my Accord. Unfortunately, the driver appears to not care that it’s a 3-cylinder and floored it after crossing the intersection weaving in and out of traffic. Orange ST version.
It honestly looks really good. I see a mix of venza x4 glc coupe
I’m actually really impressed! And that 0-60 is with a considerable amount of wheel spin. Well done, Buick!
0-60 9.2 seconds is nothing to brag about.
😅😂😅😂😅🤡🤡🤡
My new Toyota Prius Limited AWD edition 0-60 7.0 seconds and 55 mpg, and Toyota quality and reliability.
@@lawsonjames1639 Many thousands more though .That's not the Envista's target audience. Buick ranks near the top in reliability now. As for power, it's more about torque, and how it's delivered.
@@phw2274 yes, my Prius was $2,000 over invoice but very hard to find a Limited AWD in Guardian Grey. Buick ranks 3.5/5 and 13th out of 32 manufacturers. Toyota is 4.0/5 and 8th out of 32 manufacturers. This little 1.3 3 cylinder turbo will have a life span of 80-100k miles, those little turbocharged engines run hot and heat up all the components. I own a cherry Honda S2000 AP1 and this is why I haven't put a turbo or supercharger on it, it'll wear out the motor.
30 grand, hard plastic door tops, no rear ac vents, no led interior lighting, 9.2 seconds 0 to 60....cheap 3 cylinder engine...etc...etc...imagine what the bare bones model must be like !
I have not seen bezels that big on a screen since the iPhone 4. This vehicle is typical GM. They spent all the money trying to produce stylish vehicle, and then just threw a bunch of crap at it to make it hit a price point. The interior plastics are absolutely pathetically cheap. The infotainment/gauge cluster screen is laughable. Small displacement engine is going to be highly stressed, causing increased wear and shorter life expectancy. Considering this vehicle, as tested, is nearly $32,000, there are many better options out there. You can get a CX5, CX30 or HRV and be much better off.
@@aaronbaird9444 If you think the interior plastics on this thing are bad, wait until you sit in a Corolla Cross.
@@scrungycat407 I agree - I test drove a Corolla Cross yesterday and the interior materials didn't seem much different from this - I haven't sat in one of these yet since my local dealer said they didn't have any in stock today but I'm holding out until they get one since I love the styling and want to see if it's nice in person, but I definitely wont be buying the $30k model like this one if I do pull the trigger... This seems like a good value at under $25k but not $30k.
Definitely lot of car for the price. Wish it had a 4 cylinder.
it is sticking with the price even with the new labor contract... looks great.
very nice looking car! I would totally get this as my next car, but the engine is a turnoff, should have had the 1.3 in the encore
Problem with the rear wiper blade was motorists complaint when they took their vehicle to a full service automated Car Wash that it got damaged in the Car Wash Spining Brush. Now if the Buick Envista had a brow at the top of the rear window that could conceal a rear wiper beneath, it would prevent the wiper arm being exposed over the rear window. Perhaps if the rear window is treated with rainx on a clear day, it might make it easier to repell rain from the surface of the glass, thus increasing visability. Long ago, I remember some cars had a stylish black vented rear window cover which reduced glare and rain drops; gave the driver increased visabilty. I also saw it on the Lotus Europa. Gave the car an armoured mad max style. Also reduced interior overheating when the car is parked exposed to direct sun light.
14:10 So, it doesn't sound like you're grinding rags up there under the hood when you get on the accelerator?
He never mentioned if the steering was electric or not? I'm an older guy. I can deal with the engine not being that powerful. I don't I don't even care about it not having AWD.. I drive a 2015 Ford Fusion through the snow with no issues, here in Michigan. but no LED lighting in the interior, no exposed exhaust pipes. No lockable glove box. No ambient lighting on their top trim vehicle? those are issues that will stop me from buying it
People complaining about having a 3-cylinder and 137 horsepower like some people don't care about either of those 2
People who know nothing about engines or the mechanicals of an automobile won't care, because they don't understand that a 3 cylinder engine is a bad design, inherently unbalanced, and will work extra hard powering this vehicle, add the turbo which will stress the little mill even more, means the engine will have a short life.
@@johnfranklin5277 i8 and the GR Yaris had a 3-cylinder for a while and it was fine
I was 100% interested in this car until I found out it doesn't come in AWD which to me Is a big deal.. that and maybe another thing or two that kind of made me change my mind but man it's definitely a sexy looking car!! But as they say " looks aren't everything "
Cross shopping this with my 98 Camry. It’s close but I really can’t give up the reliability or fuel economy of the Toyota.
Thanks for great reviews Sofian.
So you got really nice, I would say even premium looking taillights and then under them there are medieval turn signals… 😂
PS: that horn sound is awful. I’m really happy that you’re also showing horn sound in your review. I think your Chanel is the only one doing that.
Is this some kind of joke? Who in their right mind would purchase this Buick Envista with a 3 cylinder,1.2L turbo charged engine that will most likely have a catastrophic engine failure just after the warranty expires. It should be called a Buick Investa where you have keep investing your money to make last for 5 years.
Buick is sticking to the price too. It’s good to see something attractive, and good on gas for 25-31,000$
You're criticizing the rear window. I'm sure it has a rear defroster like all the sedans which should clean rain and snow. Considering sedans don't have rear wipers either and it works fine.
yep…that’s the C8 corvette SUV shell right there 😊
I don’t get the point of going to a 1.2 three cylinder turbo to squeeze only 28mpg (while adding a lot of complicated extra components). I mean a corolla cross gets about the same efficiency with a traditional more reliable 2 liter 4 cylinder… It looks cool though
i know. i like the look but 3 cylinder is not a good design.
I think it’s to make maintenance cheaper, and it’s simply a cost cutting/saving measure. The rest of the world taxes engines based on displacement. It’s the reason you don’t see sports car in asia, Europe, or Latin American like you do in America.
Shit is hard AF. Kinda looks like an urus mixes with a BMW and Aston Martin to me
The exterior is fire! Saw it on the highway and had to look it up. Oh but the interior... it's very underwhelming!! We can appreciate the effort tho Buick. Great price point!
Beautiful Vehicle. If I Were To Get One, I'd Definitely Remove The Buick Lettering Badge. That'd Give It A Way Cleaner Look In The Back
Definitely. Be sure to beautify your cheap peace of shit. Lol
They nailed the looks and seemingly the value quotient. I just don't know if I could handle 9.2 secs to 60 mph, lol.
looks great with plenty of real world performance
I really really need them to drop this with a more powerful engine. It’s looks great.
Very nice design
I can't imagine that this anemic 3 cylinder with 6 speeds can be more efficient and better road mannered than a traditional turbo 1.5/2.0 ltr 4 cylinder with 8-10 speeds...
28 city, 32 highway, 30 combined. Not stellar fuel efficiency
Its A buick in 2023 for $23k. Its hard to find cars this nice for that price
Well duh.... it's also 10k cheaper.
I have owned this car for a couple weeks and it is by no means anemic. The turbos really move it along when you want extra power for merging or passing. It goes up mountains effortlessly, no screaming engine, can barely hear it. I was surprised too being a 3 cyl, but I am not unhappy with acceleration and cruising power. It performs like a 4 cyl turbo basically, you don't even notice. oh and, I'm getting mid 30's around town and around 40 mpg highway. It cruises so quiet and smooth. It's spacious and sporty. Great car for the price point of 25k.
That’s a good looking ride. Looks way more expensive than it is
I can't lie, it looks good
always good review .... i check you first
Very nice vehicle im intrigued
They should have put their old 3.1 liter V6 in this car paired with a more modern transmission. The mileage wouldn't have been that bad around town and the thruway mileage would be about the same.
I’d drive it in the ST trim 😊 not bad for a BUICK that’s not a Grand National or GNX 🤭 . The front end is giving Buick Skyhawk-ish the T-Type version ( with the pop up headlights ) to me
I bought the envista avenier, but it's not under $25k. The avenier trim is close to $31k- $ 32k. Mine was $31475.00.
I dont understand why people, including the gentleman in the video, and trying to find things “wrong” with this vehicle. For goodness sake it is under $30k and looks nice! In today’s economy, the consumer need to be grateful for what Buick just did.
considering how most people I know can't afford new cars, even the maverick doesn't really have any of the base models available to purchase in reality. that I can see this being the first Buick in a long time to have a decent amount of adoption. no longer something people would get actively if they know about it.
What dealerships have this in stock?
GM should've just thrown in the Cruze's 1.5 and made the Watts link rear end standard. Would be perfect
Very Nice Bro. Get Good People!
A 1.6turbo 4 cylinder would have been better to differentiate with the trax
why not use an existing n/a 4 cylinder. the consumers want inexpensive, but they also want reliability and longevity
It looks like the engine bay has space for it too
@@llcross04 good idea, I was sticking with the turbo as I believe it would require minimal engineering as the 3/4 cylinder turbo are same family reuse a lot of the parts and design.
@@rmartin987 I plan on staying away from tiny turbos as long as I can...
@@llcross04and you do not know the reliability or longevity of this 3-cylinder. Y’all are just looking for things to complain about at this point. Also no CVT.
This car looks great but its smaller in person than i expected
Great styling and not bad for the $$ but the 3CYL is a buzz kill.
Just depends on where you drive. As a local driver just going around town, it’s fine
@DWK33 My town in between two three mountains lol I've got stone mountain Arabia mountain and Panola mountain not crazy altitudes but alot of long hills. Hope it has torque I'm going to test drive one next week.
@@TheBasher-_- Did you get one? I just test drove one today and actually liked it but didn't pull the trigger since the interest rate wasn't what I wanted.
Can you comment on this vs the Kia sportage?
What more can you ask for at 25k
Drives well, disc brakes, ML suspension, good fuel econ, nice tech, good looks.
I ike it
Crazy idea, that would only work if these cars sell well, as far as I can tell, they are which is impressive to say the least, however they would be well within there right if the sales and demand are high enough, that they should make a GS sport trim, using the 1.5T with over 200lbs of torque, the independent suspension, and AWD, with either the 6 speed or 9 speed, prolly the 6 speed to keep cost low, and sell it as a top performance trim, maybe even make it so that if AWD is available to keep it the this trim only so as to not bite into sales of other models I. The Gm line up. And that price point size and weight, the car would be the class leader.
