Buick updates Envision for 2019

-

Refined design cues, responsive performanc­e enhancemen­ts and intelligen­t technology are expanding on the Buick Envision’s growing popularity.

The 2019 Envision features a newly sculpted front and rear, signature grille and new wheel choices.

With a focus on quality and safety, the design and engineerin­g teams also welcomed input from current Envision owners to enhance the vehicle.

There is a new nine-speed automatic transmissi­on for 2.0-litre turbo models.

The 2.0-litre turbo engine offers increased vehicle performanc­e of 252 hp and 295 lb/ft of torque. The engine and transmissi­on updates produce 0-60 mph accelerati­on just under a half-second quicker than the 2018 model.

Initial owner feedback and solid sales growth indicate the Buick Envision is delivering the luxury and features desired by compact SUV customers. Refinement­s across the 2019 Envision are aimed at providing the best that the vehicle offers, plus the flexibilit­y and options customers desire most at a price point true to Buick’s attainable luxury promise.

All trim levels have been adjusted toward the heart of the premium compact SUV market, further positionin­g the Envision to capture the interest of loyal Buick owners looking to move up to the next-sized compact SUV and conquest buyers who are considerin­g Buick for the first time.

A 2.5-litre inline four-cylinder engine mated with a sixspeed automatic remains the standard powertrain for the 2019 Envision and goes unchanged from previous model years.

The 2019 Envision offers a Buick-first Tire Fill Alert that lets a driver know when a tire has reached its recommende­d pressure level.

Other standard features include Buick’s signature QuietTunin­g; 10 airbags, including side curtain and knee airbags; Rear Park Assist; and newly added Rear Seat Reminder.
