    My only complaint is that I cannot seem to close the door

    My only complaint is that I cannot seem to close the door mirrors. Small complaint and not really a flaw but cosmetic. The car is amazing. It has plenty of room and acceleration. It is comfortable and luxurious too.

    Love the car, but 2 things drive me crazy.

    Love the car, but 2 things drive me crazy. The driver's seat belt connection is too far below the seat, and for a short person is too far to the back of the seat . A more serious concern is the gear shift. You need to look to make sure you are in the correct gear. Recessed tabs don't work for me.

    Shop around!!!

    Purchased a new 2023 AWD Envision December 2023. Dealer offered HUGE discount with $12000 off. I suggest shop around. I traveled from Las Vegas NV to Portland Oregon for mine. Essence package with panoramic roof and xx package. Ride is more firm with 20" tires vs standard 18". I love it. People that ride in it love it. 5000 problem free miles. AWD system works great!! I would be upset if i paid sticker price. With the HUGE discounts offered.. IT IS GREAT!

    My Dreamy Ride

    I decided on the new 2023 Buick Envision Avenair and I am not disappointed! This car is loaded with all of the cool features and options. I had reservations about the 2.0L engine but after taking a 4 hour road trip and experiencing the performance, I am very happy with it. The large display on the dash, the huge back up camera, the moon roof, the heated and air conditioned seats- are just a few of the reasons I love this car. A big shout out to Joel at McKenzie Motors in Milton and the whole team there!

    Glad we chose this SUV vs others.

    After researching 4-5 models of SUVs, we decided on this 2023 Buick Envision Preferred ST. This SUV is very comfortable, stylish, has many great standard features and great safety ratings. We currently have a little over 5k miles on it and have driven it on a nine-hour trip (28mpg). We are currently getting 26 mpg, all around. This 2.0 turbo engine is very peppy @228 hp and is very friendly for the do-it-yourself oil change! This is our first SUV, and we think we picked the right one! Black on black with the black rims, it's beautiful, too.

    Surprisingly very well all around.

    I had almost every car brand you can name of and this 2023 Buick Envision Preferred ST stays one of my favorites list up high. Design in / out one of the best out there (obviously this is my personal take) wireless carplay and design of infotainment system and instrument cluster i like it very much also one of my favorites. Car rides very comfortably, surprisingly roomy and very practical for daily use. Only one thing i can be happier is that maybe little bit bigger engine 2.5 Turbo and another 40-50 HP would make this thing amazing. 2.0 it has enough and get this thing moving well but. Transmission also extremely well and always in the right gear for doesn't matter how you drive. A+A+A+

    Don't buy!

    Do not buy this Chinese built piece of junk! Shame on us thinking we were getting something better than our Escape with this Avenir. Does not have lumbar adjustment like it should, the radio sounds "tinny", and worst of all, the transmission will not go into 9th gear unless paddle shifted. And, on top of that, it locked up in 4th gear at 400 miles and had to be reset by stopping and restarting the vehicle. It's at the dealership now and they claim they can't find anything wrong. MPG stinks as we went from 34 mpg in the 2L turbo Escape to 25 in this piece of garbage.We're getting rid of this piece of junk as soon as the title comes in.

    Envision Avenir is a best kept secret.

    I traded in my Encore GX for the new Envision Avenir. It has everything you need and nothing you don’t want. Love the looks and ride of this car. The only thing I wish it had was a power lumbar for the driver seat. The inline 4 cylinder turbo is adequate, wish it had maybe 25-30 more horsepower. The ride is smooth and the interior is quiet. Wife loves driving this car.

    Very satisfied with new Buick. Like the SUV style.

    We have had our 2023 Buick Envision Avenir for a month and love it! Color is Cinnabar and it’s beautiful. It is sporty, comfortable and loaded with every bell and whistle. We have driven Buicks for 20 years and have been happy with them. Good car would buy another one.
