What Makes the Envista a Fantastic Compact SUV?

At a glance, it’s easy to see that the Buick Envista is an impressive piece of machinery that looks great and seems like it has a lot to offer. Looking closer, however, you’ll begin to discover why so many people have flocked to the Envista since it was first released just last year and why many drivers are excited about this ride. 

Whether you’re already looking for a Buick Envista for sale or you’re just curious about what this small SUV has to offer, we’re more than happy to discuss what it brings to the road and explore everything it delivers. From its gorgeous styling and exterior design to its beautifully appointed interior, everything about the Envista comes together to create a sporty SUV that begs to be driven. And with remarkable fuel efficiency to keep you on the road for a long time, this is the perfect SUV for a wide range of drivers.

Sleek Design and Gorgeous Engineering

In much the same way that people say you first eat with your eyes, we think you first start enjoying a vehicle with your eyes. That’s to say that you want a ride that looks great; it doesn’t have to be completely unique because that can just end up strange. Instead, you want something that is familiar while also visually engaging, which can seem pretty straightforward, and yet many vehicles fail to deliver. The Buick Envista, however, is not one of those; this is a gorgeous compact SUV with sleek styling that immediately grabs the eye.

The front end of the Envista has a bold and stylish grille that looks great without being overbearing, with sleek grille surrounds and other fascia elements that all come together beautifully. Nothing fights against the other elements; everything is well-proportioned and in harmony, even while making a powerful impression. Once the front end gets your attention, the Envista never lets it go as graceful curves sweep across its sides and pull your eyes toward the rear of this SUV. You’ll find standard 18-inch wheels on the Envista, though available 19-inch wheels give it a more aggressive stance to deliver an even stronger appearance.

Sporty Performance and Excellent Efficiency

Good looks are important with an SUV (because you want to be happy having it parked in your driveway), but even more important is how it drives. Buick understands this well, which is why the Envista comes with a standard turbo engine that delivers 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. This is plenty of power for a compact SUV, ensuring you enjoy yourself on the road while giving you the performance you need when driving each day. Even more impressive, this Buick SUV gets an estimated 28 MPG in the city, 32 MPG on the highway, and 30 MPG of combined fuel efficiency. This keeps you on the road longer, letting you get where you need to go and enjoy yourself on days off with one fewer thing to worry about.

Impressive Comfort and a Spacious Interior

One thing that people worry about with a compact SUV is that it might actually be too small for everything they need to take care of each day. This is something Buick’s designers and engineers clearly understand because even though the Envista is a compact model, they’ve managed to get every last bit of usable space inside to ensure it’s incredibly functional. The Envista measures about 182 inches in length and just over 71 inches wide, so it can fit well into a garage. Even so, you get nearly 40 inches of headroom and almost 42 inches of legroom up front, plus more than 37 inches of headroom and 38 inches of legroom in the back.

You also get plenty of space for the stuff you need to bring along with you: nearly 21 cu.ft. of rear cargo space and 42 cu.ft. of total cargo volume behind the front seats. Not only do you get all of this room for the people and things you need to take with you, but everyone will be quite comfortable. The standard Preferred trim includes cloth seating with leatherette for a nice touch of style to go along with its comfort, as well as automatic climate control to maintain a comfortable temperature inside. If you go with the stunning Avenir trim level, then you get perforated leather seating with an eight-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, and a heated flat-bottom steering wheel.

Advanced Technology to Enhance Your Drive

Comfort is important, of course, but it’s only part of the equation when it comes to how the interior of the Envista has been designed. You’ll also find fantastic tech features inside to help you get the most from every moment you spend on the road. Looking at the Avenir still, you’ll find an eight-inch Driver Information Center display you can reconfigure to match your preferences, along with an 11-inch infotainment screen with support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You get Keyless Open and Start with Remote Start functionality, and a wireless charging pad is standard in the Avenir. All of this comes together beautifully to create a compact SUV that you’ll look forward to driving each day.

Safety Tech That’ll Get You Home Each Day

Best of all, the safety technology that Buick provides with the Envista helps ensure you get home at the end of each day, too. Every model comes with the Buick Driver Confidence suite, which includes a Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking to warn you of a potential collision and help you avoid it. You get Lane Keep Assist with a Lane Departure Warning to help you stay safely in your lane while driving, plus a Following Distance Indicator to warn you if you’re too close to the vehicle ahead of you. IntelliBeam auto high-beam assist is also included, which can switch off your high beams automatically when oncoming traffic is detected to help avoid blinding other drivers.

You get Front Pedestrian Braking to help keep others safe, particularly if someone steps out into the road in front of you, plus LED daytime running lamps, an HD rear vision camera, and Rear Park Assist to help you avoid unseen obstacles when backing up. Available options like those found with the Advanced Safety Package let you take things even further with Adaptive Cruise Control that follows a detected vehicle ahead of you at a safe speed, a Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert to warn you when someone’s about to pass behind you as you’re backing up. With the standard Teen Driver tool, the Envista is perfect if you have a new driver and you want to reinforce safe habits for them.
