I'm not a GM guy but WOW have these cars impressed me! Much like the Maverick, this car has impressed me in ways I never thought a Trax ever would! Having driven a new Trax, it drives and feels like something well above its price, and this Buick looks to provide a lot for the money as well. Very impressed with GM on this one!
You guys have to understand, Buick gave us a lot with this car. True affordable luxury with an attractive exterior and interior, of course there's a catch. And that catch is the 3 cylinder engine. A bigger one would 100% make this much more than 23.5k. An Envista GS however would be nice with a Regal GS engine. But if a 310hp V6 is too much then the 270hp turbo 4 that the 2012 regal GS got would also suffice.
GM took over Daewoo 20+ years ago. This will quietly be Buick's best-seller in the US. The Encore sold well too, but was ignored because its not sporty or fast, and that's all the car blogs and "enthusiasts" care about. I'm glad to see somebody is making an affordable car intended to be more comfortable than sporty.
Im not really crazy about this one. Its about as mainstream as you could get. And theres nothing really "buick" about it. Aggressive styling, weak drivetrain. What a terrible combo.
Drove this piece of garbage 1300 miles and it made me appreciate my 2016 civic more than ever before To clarify, I do not own this car. It is a family member's. I do own the civic
Do not buy these Buick’s have direct injection and you will get massive carbon buildup on the valves in the engine and there is no fix for this defect.
Hi! 8 years ago you had a video about the s65 w222 on your channel, but the mercedes s600 w222 was still flashing in the frame, could you post a video review of this car?
You are right! Thank You for that. It is the envision that is chinese but the envista that is korean. @@Yamaguch "The Buick Envision is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by General Motors and marketed under the Buick brand since 2022. It is exclusively manufactured in China by the SAIC-GM joint venture, supplying the Chinese and North American markets.".
This thing sounds so rough. They made a beautiful car with a lousy tiny engine. How stupid is that? And the funny thing this thing is not cheap. With taxes and fees this thing cost around just under 30K for the basic model. They could have given it a 1.4 liter 4 cylinder turbo engine with 150?160 horse power and made it a decent vehicle that will appeal to a big group of people.
Just as I was watching your old buick videos, look what pops up!

These look so good, if they'd just give it a fast powertrain to match.
I Agree 💯
That's all that is missing.
Go test drive one. You will pleasantly surprised at the 162 lbs. ft. of torque.

Now my first new Buick Envista ST I wanted.
You will always be the best car reviewer I’ve easily been watching your stuff at least 10 years !
Love the color/buy new 24' Buick Envista ST.
Can't believe that's a Buick 😮
Buick needs to rethink that startup ding
Literally a Urus + BMW X6 mix
😂
Literally 😂
Love this thing! Looks like a baby Urus at 1/10 the price!
Exactly
Its actually pretty light imagine if it had the camero 4 cylinder engine at 275 hp would be an interesting sleeper
Most Definitely 💯
Why is the UA-cam algorithm so mean to Kyle!
I don’t get why every single vehicle in the American market is lifted now. There is no other option
It sucks. Not everything has to be an offroader or an SUV.
Haven't owned a GM product in decades and this doesn't have AWD but believe this would be a great choice for lots of folks...
this is more Daewoo than GM

Nice 3 Cylinder Money saver on the Pump
😮 Buick. Super wygląd
That thing looks pretty large for a 1.3 cyl. And the mpg is poor..
1.2L 3 cyl for 30k. That's inflation for you-
It Should have a Turbo 4 Cylinder and All Wheel Drive for that much.
Shame on Biden.
I believe the Envista is also based on the Chevy Trax just like the Encore.
Hi kyle thank u for this nice review , plz make a video on the New Chevy Trax
No power and bad gas mileage ? Fail , I had a 2023 Nissan rouge as a rental and got 35mpg average over 300 miles of driving and that has 200hp
Nice! But a three cylinder?.....Under powered,should have 180-200+ hp
Buyer Beware. Buick small suv's have unusually narrow front seats.
This is simply a commuter. Was gonna say something about power but when considering what it’s specifically made for, it’s basically nominal.
It’s basically a modernized k-car
Wow that engine-bay vibrates eccentrically when revved.
Hey kyle hope in the future of the 2020 to 2023 camaro zl1 please or updates on the project cars like the chevelle the 240 and the 62 gmc
What type of cord do I need , I know 3 prong but the insert part on the car is small
I absolutely hate the new chime gm is using. The old one was annoying, but it at least wasn't as abrasive.
If the brand were still around and judging by the styling this looks like a Pontiac.
To me it looks like a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado and a 1965 Buick Riviera in the front (Grille) and a Chevrolet Trax in the back (The Tail).
I swear every Buick video I watch you always bitch that Pontiac should've stayed over Buick lol I'll see you in the next Buick video 😂
Buick needs to bring back sedans, nobody wants a crossover
Sadly, everyone wants an SUV.
Engine sounds like it’s oil starved.
They look sick! But they’re soooo slow.
dangerous horsepower numbers ...YIKES ..I'll take my Mazda turbo with 256 hp/ 320 torque AWD.....nice looking CUV though .
This reminds me of a famous Joe Pesci quote...
Fact the envista replaced the Buick encore that was made from 2013-2023
Im not really crazy about this one. Its about as mainstream as you could get. And theres nothing really "buick" about it. Aggressive styling, weak drivetrain. What a terrible combo.
It’s a 24,000 dollar car what’d you expect.
Rumoured to last at least 4 years without timing chain replacement and all this for only 87,000$. A steal
$30,000**
Parece un Mazda.
I found the continuous revving of the engine annoying.
Oh god it looks so generic
Drove this piece of garbage 1300 miles and it made me appreciate my 2016 civic more than ever before
To clarify, I do not own this car. It is a family member's. I do own the civic
This is Joe Biden’s engine.

Buick Encore GX has very narrow front seats. I would guess this does too.
If only they put a 6.2l LS Vi in it😂 it'll be atleast 50k but will be a good car atleast
Mom can we get a Lamborghini Urus??
No we have a Lamborghini urus at home.
The Lamborghini:
3cly tubo go boom 30,0000\ miles UGH

Urus from wish
