The negative things you talked about, don't bother me - the eight inch screen is about the only thing I'd change if I could ( a ten inch would be fine ) since once I set my 2021 Envision screen to my "specs", I've barely touched it in the four years I've owned it. I have a flash drive stuck in my USB port with my music on it and I have never listen to the radio. My Envisions ride is too firm for me, and I have test driven a XT6 which I liked better ( even though it didn't have the Real Time Dampening Suspension ) I don't like the new "tablet looking" screens that they are sticking on the dashes now - especially the larger ones. I think the XT6 is the best looking three row available today - most of the others have grills that are way too big, AKA "mouthy". The 310 horsepower is plenty for me since I just ride around town these days and I have NEVER had my Envision over 50 mph since I bought it. I hope to order a new XT6 in the spring ( as long as my IRA doesn't take a sharp turn to the "south" LOL ) I also like the fact that the XT6 is assembled here, near Nashville - I never liked the fact that the Envision was assembled in China.
You touched on a lot of factors I considered when ultimately deciding on the XT6. First off, I have an XT5 Luxury and love it. The desire for a vehicle with third row seating made me start looking. I test drove many of the cars you mentioned but nothing quite matched the drive of my XT5. One thing you mentioned about the interior of the XT6 is spot on; it's dated and lacks the splashy tech of a big LCD screen and more modern appearance. The Buick Enclave Avenir checked all the boxes I was looking for...except the drive. Four cylinder turbo was underwhelming. Gave serious consideration to the Hyundai Pallisade Calligraphy. In the end I decided I spend most of my time looking out of the window when I drive and I'd be willing to forego the tech I wanted in favor of the joy of the drive.

V6 NA is enough,if I need more horsepower, I never buy something like this, maybe V?

Wow. Look at Teluride and Palisade. So much more modern interior.
Good review
@@thomastoler2397 thank you!
Inconspicuous interior real gauges magic carpet ride suspension made famous Ferrari uses it on their vehicles
It hasn't changed since 2020. Might as well get a an older model. As for the v6 its sluggish. Good looking vehicle just weak on the power
T4 😂
Why does this look like a KIA
