Is the Envision going to get attention this time?
The first-generation Buick Envision was a fine vehicle, but it blended into the background of a crowded compact crossover segment filled to the brim with stellar options. When the second-generation 2021 Buick Envision broke cover with a radical new design, many people had to double-take.
Buick s changes to the Envision are more than skin deep, as the entire Delta platform was retired in favor of the more advanced Epsilon architecture shared with Cadillac. CarBuzz spent a week driving the mid-level 2021 Envision Essence with the Sport Touring package, and while it s clear this is a massive improvement over the outgoing model, does it do enough to stand out amongst its competitors?
Buick Envision SUV Exterior
The showroom appeal of the latest Envision has certainly taken a step in the right direction. This is now a sleek, genuinely attractive SUV from all angles. A sensibly-sized grille is flanked by sharp LED headlight clusters, while large wheels fill out the arches nicely. The base model has 18-inch alloy wheels, but 20-inch wheels are available higher up in the lineup. LED daytime running lamps, heated wing mirrors, and silver roof rails are also standard, while pricier trims enjoy a hands-free power liftgate. A power panoramic moonroof is available as an optional extra on the Essence and Avenir.
