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.

Stay Away
Don't know how I got roped into this car. My fault. Have the preferred model for a month (lease)The ride is terrible, I feel every bump and neighborhood is filled with speed bumps. There are no extras on this car. Key Fob doesn't open the rear hatch. No auto start, no heated seats, all plastic inside. No sunroof. Just disappointing in so many ways. I like the look of it and that's it. I'm stuck with it for 3 years. What was I thinking. How can a 2023 vehicle be so poorly thought out. Avoid this car like the plague.

Nice SUV with a lot of features
My wife and I are retired, and wanted to trade our pickup in on a new SUV. With so many models out there, we decided to do a lot of research prior to the test drive. After considering several models from different manufacturers, we decided to look at the Buick Envision and the GMC Terrain. Both of these models were comparable in many ways, but, the deciding factors were the overall looks, the engine and the ride. We found the Envision provided the room, looks, performance and price we were looking for. We opted for the black ST package, and so far, no disappointments.

The Avenir is the best looking SUV in it’s class!
Traded in a 2017 Buick Envision Premium II for a 2023 Avenir in Sapphire metallic… this blue is gorgeous and everyone comments on it. The ride is great, has adaptive damping and with the 20 inch wheels… still exceptional. It’s a Buick after all. The enhanced HUD is better than previous GM HUDs. I wish it had a flat floor in the back but the cabin is still gorgeous and very comfortable. Have the whisper beige interior which complements the exterior perfectly! The 10.2 screen is snappy and hi res, wireless Apple Car Play with wireless charging and built in Amazon Alexa… just perfect. I can arm my house and ask any questions that Siri won’t just by defaulting the info button on the steering wheel to Alexa. It’s a nice touch that no other brand has done. Also the 360 cam is super HD. I absolutely HATE that GM didn’t put side blind zone monitoring/rear cross traffic alert in this vehicle. Biggest disappointment. But it does have the digital video mirror whiz is really great! The accent lighting is perfecta d not over the top. Hated paying 3 years OnStar but have 3 years Wi-Fi in addition to major peace of mind if ever getting into an accident or if someone was bold enough to try and steal it. All in all, incredible vehicle. Headturner for sure, had to get this model before the 2024 refresh, 2021-23 Avenir grille (I prefer the Avista concept over the Wildcat direction any day) looks better in my opinion…. Fully recommend.

Best Buick Ever
I’ve been a mostly loyal Buick customer and I am quite pleased with my latest Buick. It is probably the quietest Buick ever! I’m slightly disappointed in the seats as Buick removed the lumbar support even on Avenir trim. The seats are well trimmed but angle back too soon for my long torso. Good performance and agile handling and excellent brakes. The HUD works surprisingly well. I get so many compliments on the beautiful blue color, it’s striking and changes with light. I was hesitant in buying Chinese made but there are no flaws and seems better put together than previous Buicks. There would be no Buick without the Chinese market. Headlights are adaptable and are outstanding. This Buick did the same thing as my more expensive Audi, no sunglass holder with sunroof. My cheaper Kia has one with the roof! This was my first internal combustion engine car in awhile and it will be my last as electrics have so many advantages except for long distance trips for now. Nice size as it is not as ponderous as the Enclave and not as tight as the Encores. I’ve had both.

Blacked Essence ST - gorgeous car
Recently purchased, so I can't comment on the reliability, but I love everything about this car. I test drove almost everything from a Chevy Equinox to a Porsche Macan and this is the car I ultimately chose. When it came down to, it was IMO the best car for the price. I bought a black Essence with the ST package and its a gorgeous car. The interior is amazing with the black leather and red stitching. All of the controls are easy to access while driving, and I love the way the infotainment system is tilted toward the driver. It has plenty of pep and I don't worry about acceleration even on the interstate. The rack and pinion steering gives it a sports car like feel while driving, especially when put into sports mode. My previous car was a BMW X1, which had more power & pep and a different drive feel, but the Envision ST wins in style. Could have bought another BMW for the same price, no regrets on my choice.

My 2023 Buick Envision
I test drive any car that I am considering purchasing. I even borrowed my sister’s 2022 Envision fora weekend to see if I might like it as well as she does. The car feels very solid with no rattles - fit and finish is very good - it’s engine has plenty of go for its size - and it’s handling is very secure- interior is laid out good - seats are comfortable including the rear but I have to say I wouldn’t want to spend much time back there but I am 6’2” tall. It’s audio system is very good with plenty of volume without static and very clear highs and low notes. My sister has about 15,000 miles on it she drives a lot for her job. Have had my 2023 for about ten days now and so far I am happy with my purchase. Thank You BTW Reliability I only gave a 4 because I haven’t had it long enough yet.

Dissapointed
I have a new 2023 Buick Envision. For me its ok because I got about 6,500 off the sticker its the preffered model. The ride is sqishy it does not build exitement or confidence. The interior is nice in beige color. The exterior does not have fog lights,the rear tailpipe and exaust out of rear bumper is fake its blocked terrible design. The vehicle shifts terrible not a smooth transmission. The ride by suspension and streginth is weak. There is no Buick word emblem on the car like everyone is suppose to know what make it is by the Buick shield emblem what a joke. Even with a power driver seat the front hood is to high it blocks the road view this seems strange,poor desighn. The doors when closeing is weak not a secure tight fit. They charge for most colors ,give me a break for paint. Power is ok. Car rides horrible over bumps very weak.The listed price was about 35,400 its overpriced. Unless you can get a deal as I did dont buy it go to a different car. This car will not hold any value it drops fast.
