Almost all Buick models fell in sales last year in the U.S., and the big moment also, with double-digit losses at Enclave and Encore along with large losses for discontinued models such as LaCrosse, Regal and Waterfall. However, there was at least one bright spot with the Envision, which saw a modest 5 percent gain.
The Envision 2021 is the second generation of the compact crossover / SUV. That it looks pretty good! He sent Buick us exterior photos during the summer and this week he gave us the rest of the set, including the interiors. The interior looks like a Buick:
The Envision runs on a 228-horsepower in-line four-cylinder. This car is not designed for all terrain, it is just pure and slow, from the sidewalks to the parking lots. An interesting and very 2021 feature of the two top trim models is an air ionizer.
Seats for five passengers are standard, with the second row of 60/40 divisions offering the possibility of folding flat with the cargo floor, for a virtually perfect transition with the backrests of the seats and a minimum distance between them. With a slot between the Encore and the smaller Encore GX and the larger Enclave, the Envision is 52.7 cubic feet6 of cargo space behind front row seats and 25.2 cubic feet6 behind the second row seats.
A range of seats are available, in light and dark colored themes, including Essence perforated leather. Heated front seats are standard on Essence and are available at Preferred.
Additional interior features include:
- Air-conditioned steering wheel is standard on Essence and Avenir and is available on Preferred
- Air ionizer7 is standard on Essence and Avenir and is available on Preferred. Research shows that Americans spend about 10 hours a week7 in the car. With the introduction of an air quality indicator, a first for Buick in the United States, the air ionizer provides customers with peace of mind, allowing them to control cabin air quality.
- QuietTuning is standard on all accessories, including active noise cancellation and strategically placed acoustic materials
- Rear seat reminder8 it is standard on all finishes
- Panoramic lunar roof is available at Essence and Avenir
The Envision starts at $ 32,995, and while I don’t see it saving Buick in the U.S. (probably nothing can get to that point), remember that the Buick brand right now stays mostly in China, where Buick sells a lot Buicks and where A forecast is made. And it’s made for me, I guess, now that I say things like, “Hey, this new Buick looks pretty good.”
