Car & Driver Raves About 2024 Envista Avenir

The 2024 Buick Envista is a hit with both journalists and buyers alike. With its modest base price, high-end luxury, loads of interior space, and top notch technology, the Envista can be enjoyed by college graduates or empty nesters. 

Engine & MPG

As the new entry level Buick crossover SUV, the Envista has a starting MSRP of $22,400 and features a 1.2-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder that produces 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Envista is available in three trim levels, Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir. All models achieve an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. The Envista has a healthy 20.7 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the rear seats. With the seats folded that capacity grows to 42 cu.ft.

Car and Driver Review

Car and Driver recently tested a top of the line 2024 Buick Envista Avenir and had this to say, “Steering accuracy through that thin-rimmed wheel is excellent, and the effort and weighting are natural and better than some pricier SUVs from premium brands. There’s poise and confidence in how the Envista drives around town and on the freeway.”

Top Notch Safety Tech

The Buick Envista comes standard with great safety technology in Buick Driver Confidence, which features Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and Intellibeam auto high beams. Optional features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and Rainsense front wipers.

Quiet Luxury For Less

“Even at $31,430 as tested, our top-trim Envista Avenir feels like a value. The structure is solid and never shudders in response to big suspension impacts. The ride is supple without any sign of floatiness. And it’s quiet, registering a luxury-car-like 68 decibels at 70 mph …. The driver faces two screens: an 8.0-inch digital cluster and an 11.0-inch touchscreen that responds reliably … the swooping design on the instrument panel and attractive textures mask some of the cost cutting. Leather is standard on the Avenir, as are six-way power seats that easily adjust into an ideal driving position. Overall, it’s a pleasant place to sit,” Car and Driver said.
