2025 Buick Envision Preferred

The 2025 Envision is Buick's compact crossover, slotting between the subcompact Encore GX and the three-row Enclave. It competes with the Acura RDX, Lincoln Corsair, and Lexus NX in the premium compact SUV segment. The Envision feels nimble in town and composed on the highway, with a quiet cabin that keeps road noise at bay. The interior is upscale for the class, with soft-touch materials, a large touchscreen, and comfortable seats for five. The Preferred is the base trim, with 18-inch wheels and a manual liftgate instead of the Sport Touring's unique styling and the Avenir's power liftgate. Its 2.0L I4 makes 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, routed through a nine-speed automatic to standard all-wheel drive for all-weather grip; expect 24 mpg combined. The Preferred's single-zone climate control and 6-way manual passenger seat are the main trade-offs for the lower starting price versus the rest of the lineup.
