Technology

In today’s technology-driven world, one of the first things many drivers look for when shopping for a vehicle is its ability to keep them connected during the drive. The good news is that the Buick Envista checks all the boxes and then some. From the base level to the top-tier model, you’ll find many technology-based amenities to enjoy.

First, the Envista is available in three trim levels: Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir, with Avenir at the top. When you slide into the driver’s seat of all three levels, the first thing you’re likely to notice is the 11-inch infotainment screen. This screen is the hub for connectivity, giving you easy access to your favorite apps, as well as allowing you to control various functions. In addition to this screen, you’ll also see an eight-inch Driver Information Center, which gives you real-time data regarding fuel efficiency, tire pressure, and more. The Envista’s design allows these two screens to flow from one to another, creating the sleek and modern dash that you would expect from a premium brand.

Along with the standard technology features, you also gain additional support with the help of OnStar. The extent of that support depends on the trim level you choose. For instance, the Preferred and Sport Touring trim levels come with three years of OnStar Remote Access. This plan gives you the ability to remotely lock and unlock your vehicle, start and stop it, and find your parking spot after a day at the Mall of America. It also allows you to view the vehicle’s fuel level, tire pressure, oil life, and more from your smartphone through the myBuick Mobile app.

If you choose the top-tier Avenir, you’ll enjoy three years of OnStar Premium. This plan includes everything from the Remote Access plan, in addition to links to emergency services, stolen vehicle assistance, roadside assistance, automatic crash response, and more. Additionally, when you select the Avenir, you also get three years of in-vehicle WiFi hotspot data. This lets you connect devices for access to entertainment and whatever else you might need while you’re on the road.

Safety Features

You would be hard-pressed to find an automotive manufacturer that hasn’t put a strong focus on safety in the last few years. With this in mind, it might not surprise you to learn that the Envista has a long list of driver-assist features to keep you and your passengers safe during the drive. In fact, you’ll find six standard features across the board that give you confidence and peace of mind as you travel through Minneapolis. Those features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, IntelliBeam Auto High Beams, Following Distance Indicator, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning.

In addition to these, you can also find several available features for all trims, including Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and Adaptive Cruise Control, just to name a few. When you add the standard and available features to the OnStar plans mentioned above, it’s easy to see that the Envista is well-rounded when it comes to ensuring you and your passengers get where you’re going with ease.

Interior and Exterior Styling

When viewing the Buick Envista in person, you’ll quickly see that it’s not like other compact SUVs in its class. It has a swooping roofline with a couple-like look and a sporty vibe that allows you to feel the drive before you ever slide in and start it up. That being said, you might also notice a few differences from one trim to another, which may help you decide which one is the best match.

The base Preferred trim has a lot to offer. At the rear, you’ll find an available power liftgate, making unloading and loading easier than ever before. Moving to the front of the vehicle, the standard LED headlamps give you the confidence you need to tackle unknown roads after the sun goes down. On the inside, a flat-bottom steering wheel helps take the sporty vibe one step further, and there are available heated front seats and a steering wheel for chilly mornings. Additionally, you can add an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat to ensure the utmost comfort mile after mile.

For the Sport Touring trim level, there’s a heavy emphasis on the “Sport” part, from the exclusive 18-inch high-gloss black-painted aluminum wheels to the gloss-black accents on the mirror caps, bodyside molding, and more. On the inside, you’ll find the same available options as the Preferred trim, but a wrapped steering wheel and leatherette seats become standard for a bit more style.

Finally, the Avenir trim level is packed with standard features, such as an exclusive Black Ice chrome grille, power liftgate, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, wireless smartphone charging, and much more. Despite all of these features, the Envista Avenir still remains remarkably affordable, costing just a few thousand more than the Sport Touring trim

Power and Performance

Power and performance are likely not the first things you think about when looking at compact SUVs. However, it might surprise you to learn that the Envista can be described as energetic, offering enough get-up-and-go when you need it most. All trim levels are equipped with the same engine, a turbocharged 1.2L three-cylinder that offers 137 hp. This engine might seem like it’s on the small side when compared to larger SUVs, but its goal is to strike a compromise between efficiency and performance, which it does quite effectively, making it a great choice for both commuting throughout Minneapolis and taking longer road trips with friends and family.

The other side of the power equation is handling, and that is where the Envista shines. Regardless of which trim you choose, you’ll enjoy a smooth ride and responsive handling that easily tames curves, maneuvers tight corners, and generally makes driving fun.
