Looks like GM is back, Will! Great color, great style, great price, interior and exterior have excellent design cues. Wow. From Buick!
Agreed brother glad you liked it! 👍🏼
I'm picking mine up on Sat., I even chose the Cinnabar color Avenir. 👍🚙
I think it resembles the BMW X2 or X3
Insane new Buick Envista SUV I want to buy.
Good luck brother! 👍🏼
Would want one at some point. My only concern with this is how will the engine handle a long road trip.
@@Cerby1979Long trips are not an issue for ICE vehicles.
Amazing review bro.
Hey Will! This is definitely an attractive looking Buick with a very attractive price tag! I'm still not sure how I feel about a 3 cylinder vehicle though. I'd have to drive this to get a true feel for it. Around town though I'm sure its probably more than enough.
It definitely feels quick around town but you’re right being hesitant about long term reliability if driven hard.. I guess at the end of the day you always get what you pay for🤷🏻♂️👍🏼
Love the styling but hesitant on Turbo 3 cylinder long term

I keep my eyes open for that video bro.
I own a 2022 Buick Encore GX with the same 1.2 L 3 cylinder . The reason why the cabin is quieter , is because of Quiet cabin technology that they’ve put in all newer Buick models . I really have no issues with the power, driving at normal highway speed ,but I do notice a difference on the interstate when you get it up to 70 miles per hour. I think if I decide to go with another Buick , I will go with the 1.3 L . The biggest reason why I won’t go with an Envista, is that it doesn’t have fog lamps available on any trim level.
Love this #Buick ❤️🤍💙
Nice job Buick! Just wish it had optional AWD for those Ohio winters. Still sharp!
I'm in the midwest(chicago) and definitely want all wheel drive too. Wait for the new refresh on the 2024 Envision Avenir! Hopefully out by Aug/Sept and I'm heading to the dealership! 😁
Idk why but I love this car in the avenir trim especially in red and this guy doing the vid is cute AF 😅
Agreed on the cute part.
I need to get that for my phone so I can record the cars i have a channel on you tube. Where did you get that?
This is an interesting vehicle. It’s the size of a Rav-4 or Kia Sportage but seems to be more comparable to an HR-V or Kia Seltos for the features, power, and price. But it’s also under an entry luxury division which is even more confusing lol. True enough, most subcompact to compact luxury vehicles toe the line, but I also feel that companies like Genesis isn’t cutting many corners with their GV70. The Envista is almost a direct competitor to the Chevy Trax, despite the “entry luxury brand” name. I’d really like to see GM define Buick more to help make the case for the Envista and the rest of the lineup.
It shares the platform with the Chevy Trax. Both have the exact same 3-cylinder engine. Envista is better than the Trax in terms of comfort and tech but Trax is better in terms of cargo space.
The Avenir is the best looking Envista, with none of the nonsense black plastic trim and nice smoked chrome wheels. But at over $31k, I'm going with a mid-level CX-5
I wouldn't be surprised if GM eventually swapped out the 6-speed for the CVT that's in the FWD version of Encore GX. I think it's a better match for the engine than any conventional automatic.
Very possible! 👍🏼
You can get everything fully loaded on the ST trim and save money than paying for a fully loaded Avenir trim. Only things you won’t get on the ST would be the chrome lights in the back, color matching mirrors, wheel and lower side cladding, piano style climate control (climate controls similar to fully loaded Trax), and no rear armrest with cup holders.
Or deferent seats
I don’t like that there are no red low mount driver side door lights for other motorists to alert them that your driver door is open so it doesn’t get clipped by a motorist not seeing me open my door, and the visor does not slide to adiquately shade driver from sun’s glare when shifting visor to driverside door window. Turbo’s help decrease emissions but reduce mpg. Originally i wanted to buy a Hyundai Kona because of mpg better than the envista but rear seating was too tight and cargo space too small when i was waited on and saw the leg room, plus the projector lamps were very surprising how well night drives would be. But the Buick Envista offers more than even the Chevrolett Trax. And the price. And the amazing power from a naturally asperated 3 cylinder turbo with six speed transmission is incredable. My biggest concern is visits to refuel? And powering all these accessories. Refreshing the battery.
Would you be happy with this as your only vehicle of course for the price
For the price yes, but that’s assuming Sub $30k OTD. It’s a lot for the money but emphasis on “for the money”
Without four wheel drive option , makes it a challenging sell over Hondas and Toyotas for the price.
AWD drive is overrated and quite unnecessary.
@@cgmiddle there are a lot of factors involved. Region, location etc etc. Most of the world’s most expensive cars have AWD and if that’s good enough for them it’s good enough for everybody. I would invest in a four wheel drive over a two wheel drive any day. Try driving in the snow and rain in a two wheel driver compared to a AWD.
Another reviewer said the cabin is loud when on the highway to the point you would have to raise your voice a bit..i was shocked to hear this. Was this your experience? Everyone seems to have different perspectives
I hear ya. A lot of it also depends on what they’re used to and coming out of. If they’re used to expensive luxury cars, no this Buick will not be that level of quiet or refined. But on this day I also reviewed a Terrain Denali, Sierra Denali and AT4 and this didn’t really seem any louder than the others. The real compromise here will be the less powerful powerplant. 👍🏼
IIHS crash test rating?
I love the argument of "Hey! Settle for this cheap car, you aren't going to be racing it or anything like that anyways! So what if you will never be able to go over 97 miles an hour with it ! Hey, you can't afford a real new car anyways smuck!" Who do think you are, somebody? Yeah, you don't really need to pass anybody anyways. I keep forgetting, its okay to drive a slow car now! Just bizarre!
I got one on Black Friday weekend !!! Absolutely love it !!!!! amazed at what u get for the $$$
Good luck, with pathetic 1.3 litter 3 cylinder engine. We'll see how long that gonna last. Such a big car with a motorcycle engine, good luck.
@@tonyn3227 hardly a motorcycle engine very impressed at the power but then again I’m not a race car driver I’m trying to get from one place to another plus great on gas. I did not need that last SUV that I got rid of. Which by the way, did not have heated seats did not have remote start or most of the features that this car has for the money absolutely unbelievable deal
@davidbrandsema1116 agreed on most, but I am wary about any 3 cylinder engine in a big suv like this, I just don't see trouble free in long run
@@tonyn3227 I wouldn’t call it an SUV to be honest with you. It’s a four-door car with a hatchback. They called it crossover but I really don’t consider an SUV.
Love the car, but I’m too old to get in and out of it comfortably.
I test drove one. I like the car except the engine shakes around like a paint mixer. No way this thing is reliable.
Beautiful car but that's about it. I'd rather the Subaru Crosstrek, honda HRV, and Toyota Corolla cross
Imported from Korea wtf it's nice but gm building these overseas and importing them here is a deal breaker
Too bad they don't come with AWD
Wow! Just what I've always wanted, an Urus, with a puny, tiny, small, miniscule motor! Hahahaha! What a joke! It used to be you bragged about how big your motor was. Now it seems that doesn't matter as long as it can get up to the speed limit, after awhile! Peasants!
Made in China?
This car looks nothing like a Urus 😂😂😂. It's almost embarrassing that Buick would release this car with such weak specs.
its fine to me especially at the price point.
Thanks to Biden’s horrible economy and high gas prices, #Buick literally had no choice but to make a small engine 😢
Looks nice but pathetic 1.3 liter 3 cylinder engine, in a big car like this , and pathetic 132 hp, you gotta be crazy to buy this. You know engine will not last long.
