Buick Prices Envision from $37,295

After showcasing the model’s new clothes almost one year ago, Buick has set pricing for its Envision crossover, one of four similarly-named – and similarly styled – vehicles in its lineup.

Alert readers will recognize Buick now hucks the Envista, Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave as its wares in America. Nary an Electra or Skylark in sight, to say nothing of a Roadmaster or Park Avenue. And the world turns.


Three trims are on tap, starting with the $37,295 Preferred and walking up the ladder to a $39,795 Sport Touring (new for ’24) before resting at an ambitious $48,395 Avenir. Today’s trims start at a lower price point, with the entry-level model stickering at $34,795. However, it should be noted that all Envision crossovers are now equipped with all-wheel drive as standard kit, so the price gulf is virtually non-existent compared to last year’s vehicle.


Which makes some of the cabin changes all the more remarkable. All trims will have a 30-inch touchscreen whose display will permit a measure of freeform, which is to say certain features like the brand’s navigation map should extend into the corners of the screen instead of appearing as a square peg in a trapezoidal hole, thus creating large black bezel space. We sampled a similar approach to such a display in the equally new Cadillac XT4, finding it an attractive and expensive-looking solution.


Powertrain selection remains the same as last year, meaning there is a 2.0L turbocharged mill on tap making 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, though front-wheel drive has been binned as mentioned earlier in this post. Buick spox are hoping to raid the corporate toy chest for access to Super Cruise at a later date, apparently. It is our understanding this model will be assembled in China.


Through the first quarter of this year, Buick sold a total of 44,385 vehicles in America, about nine thousand more than Cadillac or roughly 13.4 percent of GM’s total volume for the same time frame. For the whole of 2023, Buick shifted 167,030 units which counted for about 6.5 percent of the 2.6 million rigs sold by The General last year.

    GM makes most of their vehicles in China sells them at American made prices and pockets the difference. Not to me ever but some people just don't care.

    So it's down to American Communist Union labor or Chinese Communist labor. I'll choose NEITHER.

  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X The more taxpayer dollars wasted, the closer it will be to having all your assets taken from you.
  • Jkross22 Just give this money to the pentagon. They're great at lighting someone else's money ablaze and then failing audits. 6 years running they can't tell you how money was spent. I think they're going for a baker's dozen, at which point the pretense will be dropped and they won't even be audited.
  • Ollicat none of it.
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X No tech should be mandated. IMHO, automatic braking would be more hazardous than defensive driving would ever be.
  • Buickman Ironiq?
