The compact 5-seater SUV starts at $22,400 with three different models: Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir. The Avenir, the best of the three, gives you a bargain that you might not want to refuse.
Overview:
When first entering the Envista, the driver and passenger are welcomed with a spacious interior that includes a dashboard that consists of two screens, an 8-inch SUV gauge cluster, and an 11-inch touchscreen interface. The Envista is equipped with Buick's most up-to-date software and includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot. Although the base leather interior isn't of the highest quality, buyers will get their money's worth.
The cargo space has a volume of 20.7 cubic feet, which turns into 42.0 cubic feet when folding the rear seats. The preferred trim starts at $22,400, and the Avenir trim with all options attached is under $32,000. Those options include a moonroof, an Advanced Safety package (rear cross-traffic alert, heated and power-adjustable exterior mirrors, lane-change alert, adaptive cruise control, intermittent rain-sensing wipers), and rear park assist.
Performance:
The engine of the Envista is a turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 12-valve inline-3, aluminum block and head, direct fuel injection, with 137 horsepower at 5000 rpm. All that power allows the 3200-pound SUV to go from 0 to 60 in 9.3 seconds, 100 miles per hour in 32.3 sec, go a fourth of a mile in 17.0 seconds, and have a top speed of 112 miles per hour.
Fuel Economy:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) predicts the miles per gallon (mpg) will be 28/mpg and 32/mpg on the highway while having a 13.2-gallon tank.
Warranty and Maintenance:
- Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles
- Powertrain warranty covers five or 60,000 miles
- Complimentary maintenance is covered for the first visit
