The front-wheel-drive-only 2024 Buick Envista crossover is a stylish and sensible new entry point for the brand.
The Envista's very reasonable pricing ranges from $23,495 for the base Preferred trim to about $32,000 for a fully optioned Avenir model.
Unlike the one-step-up Buick Encore GX, which is available with all-wheel drive, the Envista is front-wheel-drive only.
The Envista's sole powertrain is a turbocharged 1.2-liter inline-three mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Output is a modest 136 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque.
Compared to the boxier Encore GX, the Envista's longer wheelbase and overall length provide it with a slightly larger rear passenger compartment yet a smaller cargo area behind the rear seats.
The Envista's cabin is highlighted by a display featuring an 8.0-inch driver information readout and an 11.0-inch center touchscreen under a single pane of glass.
The Envista's shapely design and more sedan-like profile likely will be its greatest draw in showrooms.
All Envistas feature a torsion-beam rear axle. However, opting for 19-inch wheels (17s are standard, 18s are also optional) brings a Watt's link to its rear end that better manages body motions around corners.
The Envista's midrange Sport Touring trim level trades chrome exterior trim for black accents and wheels.
With an estimated 9.0-second 60-mph time, the Envista is not quick. But it does earn a decent 30-mpg combined estimate from the EPA.
