Buick's efforts to be seen as a premium brand may have finally turned a corner with the 2021 Envision SUV. Set to take on rivals such as the Acura RDX, the Infiniti QX50, and the Lincoln Corsair, this new Envision sports nicely tailored sheetmetal and a more upscale interior. A 228-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter powers all models and comes mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. The list of standard features includes driver-assistance tech such as automatic high-beams, automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and lane-keeping assist. A high-end Avenir trim tops the lineup. Its luxurious cabin boasts diamond-quilted leather seats, wireless smartphone charging, and a driver's seat with massage functionality.
Buick offers only one engine under the 2021 Envision's shapely hood. It's a 228-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. It pairs to a nine-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive is standard. Buyers can option all-wheel drive on any of the three trim levels, though. This engine produces slightly less power than the 251-hp mill that motivated the previous-generation Envision, which hit 60 mph in 6.6 seconds. That SUV never managed to feel particularly quick, especially when compared with key rivals such as the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, so the reduction in horsepower for 2021 doesn't bode well for a speedier result. When the 2021 Envision lands at our office for testing, we'll update this story with test results and driving impressions.
