The five-passenger crossover, which is
powered by a 2.0-liter turbo engine, is available in three trims. Being that the Buick division has yet to make the transition to EVs, the Envision is the perfect
vehicle to infuse a plug-in powertrain. In fact, the stylish crossover is available in a
front wheel drive or an all-wheel drive configuration.
And depending upon the trim, one can expect a
host of features ranging from a power lift gate to 20-inch wheels to a radar
activated cruise control system.
Pricing for the vehicle starts out under
$35,000. However, in order to access premium features like a
sunroof or the radar cruise control system, one has to step up
to the $47,000 Avenir trim. It might be worth looking at the GMC Terrain Denalli, which is priced about $5,000 lower to a well-equipped Envision.
