2016 Buick Envision Premium I

The Envision is Buick's compact SUV, sized between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It drives with a smooth, quiet demeanor that suits its luxury-leaning mission, though it's not a sporty handler. Inside, you get a well-built cabin with comfortable seats and plenty of tech for the class, including a large touchscreen. Cargo space is decent for a small SUV, and the rear seats fold flat to swallow bulky items. Heated front seats and a power liftgate set the Premium I apart from the base trim, adding everyday convenience without jumping to the top-tier Premium II. Its 2.0L I4 makes 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, giving you confident traction in rain or light snow. Expect a composed ride on the standard 18-inch wheels, though the suspension prioritizes comfort over cornering precision.
