Happy Saturday everyone! We had a busy week last week and an even busier one next week. Stay tuned for lots of content in the next few days and we will also be posting a full First Look video on the redesigned 2025 Buick Enclave on 4/9 at 9am EST!
I know it sounds crazy, but Buick is on a roll. I'm seeing the Envista EVERYWHERE, even on snob neighborhoods. This update to the Envision looks really good and I'm glad to see Buick playing well with color in the interior. It looks really upscale. I do wish the ST got an actual performance engine, a variant of GMs 2.7T or a powerbump for the 2.0 perhaps. But this is a great update for styling and tech.
Damn Buick!! This thing looks so darn good! This is just the ST, i know that’s a higher trim level but it isn’t the fully loaded Avenir and I’m already in love with the interior. The exterior received the perfect tweaks and this thing is seriously going to turn heads. Sexiest Buick steering wheel design and overall interior layout I’ve ever seen hands down! Love the shape and execution of the displays too, I see where the Envista was going and expect a smaller version of this in the refresh. 🔥
The previous design was waayyyyyy better too much gloss balck on this and they took away the sporty metalic bumper cover at the rear the front is hideous
Really liked how the second gen Envision originally looked but the updated front end doesn't work as well. Massive glow up inside though. Love how Buick has spiffed up the interior with interesting colors to break up the expanse of black and gray. Updated screens are well integrated too. Interior looks more interesting than the ones in the Lexus NX and Audi Q5.
That exterior is great (just not in white), but that interior is gorgeous. Wow. Looks modern without looking like you are piloting a UFO. I especially love the deep red color.
I have to say, kudos kudos to you. I have been watching you from the beginning, and your videos have evolved into a class of its own. Great job on your production and content! :-}
Not America , this originally designed and built for the Chinese market in China. A chunk of the money paid for these goes to the CCP, as does the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus. Too bad the manufacturers refuse to make these in North America.
Listen Buick trying get like kia (my opinion) but they was so hard on getting the younger buyers and I think changing and redoing everything even the brand. They hit a home run!! Good job Buick! Someone in the Buick team got it RIGHT!!!
This is one of the best values for what you get that I have seen in a vehicle in a long time. The only showstopper could be long-term reliability given the Encore's bad track record so we'll see.
Wow, I just discovered your channel. Your delivery is fantastic with your speed and yet, terrific enunciation. This car seems amazing and I've been looking for an actual 2024 and I had no idea Buick didn't make one, even though they don't say it on their website. Jeez. With that, you thought this would be coming out in the summer, but do you have a better date since you dropped this video? Thanks so much!
Why does the Buick website show an older version of this car on their 2024 'build' tool? The interior and especially the dash in this video is completely different. Is this a 2025 model?
Yay they got some actual ambient lighting on the passenger side! It’s not on the 21-23 models in that one area and every single person that bought one (including myself) thought the light was out. Most asked question of those model years 😂
Test drove the preferred model today. Cost was $39k and $44k with markup due to popularity. This version was $41 with a $5k markup, so $46k. Wouldn’t budge on markup
@@jsundberg5542 No call, waited a couple weeks and found the car at another dealer discounted to $35,900. Wanted to let the 1st dealer know about it but I let it go.
They missed a few things or could've done differently: 1. Add a middle headrest in the rear. 2. Include turn signals in the side mirrors. 3. Boost the horsepower to at least 250hp and increase torque. 4. They should've added GM's Super Cruise! 5. I would love a hybrid without a CVT, of course.
i dont understand the need for buick, before they were a tier just below cadilliac.. but since buick and gm only sells suvs and trucks, this space is taken up by gmc
The piano black console is the only fault I can find with the console. Wouldn't mind if they let the car have the 250-60 hp that the motor can easily handle. It's a very pretty car though.
I don’t get this. My much beloved iPhone was made in China and that’s the same with most other phones. Buick will have the same quality standards there as they do in the US as does Apple, Google, etc.
This refresh of the Envision is amazing, and hopefully the 3rd Generation of the Envision is supposed to be a revamped design by 2026. Maybe or not so.
Great review, but I suggest the outro music comes on a little later that way you’re not rushing through the video & the music is not louder and overpowering your voice.
I like it. But I like the second gen better. I don’t like when full line ups start looking exactly the same but different sizes. It’s a design cop out. That why I like that the Korean brands model look nothing alike. You can tell they are sibling but not twins.
Looks nicer inside and out, but it's dismal powertrain makes it a big no. It's lazy that these sports trims from brands are just an appearance package. There should at least be a 275hp option. Then, that engine should be the standard one for the XT4.
Finally a car that can compete with KIA/Hyundai on looks hopefully it has a better drive terrain and engine, Comparing this to a Lexus is insane I am sure the reliability of the Lexus would destroy this thing
Great MCR! Too bad that interior color isn't offered in the Avenir trim--that color is gorgeous! I am glad I waited for this new MCR! It looks much better than the Lexus NX. The NX interior is very tech focused and lacks any sense of style. This new Envision interior looks very upscale. A top trim NX is $56K so with tax and license the cost is $60K. That's shocking. The Avenir works best for me.
I don’t understand how somebody can buy a car built in China when they are the biggest threat to the security of the United States. It seems that there are more Americans here needing a job than in China couldn’t General Motors build a plant state of the art that could build this vehicle here and give Americans jobs. One of our family members was considering one, but now they’re not…

Nobody wants an “electrified option” 😂
I thought the same thing when I saw the front it looks amazing I wanted the 22 /23 I really think this might be the one for me

That’s not what “ST” means. The “ST” trim is mostly an appearance package. Any high performance Buick will be marked with the “GS” moniker.
@@G-Rated it is their "sport" variant, so a little more spice in the engine compartment would help.

Whoever designed this deserves a raise
Hear, hear!
The previous design was waayyyyyy better too much gloss balck on this and they took away the sporty metalic bumper cover at the rear the front is hideous
@@ashley5130 sorry, you're absolutely wrong
Looks better than toyota rav 4
It looks gangsta
Steering wheel looks stellar on this
That red interior is gorgeous. I have a 2023 Avenir and absolutely love it.
I have a 2021 and I'm loving it also...
I’m considering this one fr. Massaging seats under 50k got me

I agree the precious Envision looked really nice, but I'm a fan of this too. Looks more chiseled.
Sofy, you do the best walk around in the whole industry. A+ 👍
You have a great walk around too Bradley
That was a good video, Sofyan. It looks like Buick is upping their game. Have a great weekend.
That thing looks good finally

If only it was a hybrid for that price..
I wish these were on the lots now. Very nice!
Shit Buick!! This actually looks good..Look at America stepping it up!
*China
@@Realwessharpe totally agree but your not buying this in china and Buick is an American company.

It's so derivative though

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing this vehicle here
Winter, you're in Hamilton?
I have the 2022, for sure going for the 2024
Listen Buick trying get like kia (my opinion) but they was so hard on getting the younger buyers and I think changing and redoing everything even the brand. They hit a home run!! Good job Buick! Someone in the Buick team got it RIGHT!!!
my mom used to have a 1993 Buick Regal coupe in white with burgundy interior. this is so nastalgic. i love the interior of the ST
When I first saw this I thought it was a downgrade from the pre-refresh model, but this design is really growing on me. Looks good
A blacked out ST version with the red interior would be ❤️🔥!
Great video 👍👍looks like Porsche macan😀
I'll want a mashup of the sporty ST on the outside and the luxury of the Avenir on the inside.
This is one of the best values for what you get that I have seen in a vehicle in a long time. The only showstopper could be long-term reliability given the Encore's bad track record so we'll see.

What !! What!! Did I hear that Head-up display is standard?
That’s what Buick told us! We were surprised as well. Lots of features for the money 😆
I think this also competes with the Lincoln Corsair size & feature wise
Buick ATE this looks so good
I like the interior color
If they’d stuff a naturally aspirated v6 in this, I’d be game. It’s stunning.
so far my top 1 pick! 🔥
Very impressive interior love the look and the color
Is that the new Enclave in the back ground 👀👀
How’s the reliability on these?
According to Consumer Reports, it is recommended.
Buick has always had good reliability
$40,000 for the ST isn’t bad, but they should’ve allowed for the tech package to apply at least ventilated seats for it…
Also, maybe they should offer hybrid options and an upgrade to 2.5L (like the Chinese version) and a sport back (like what VW does with the Atlas).
When is the 2025 Enclave coming out?
Our video of that model will post on 4/9 at 9am EST!
I love this car!

Very nice car.
Rebs don't drive SUVs
If only they could make a sedan. They used to be so good at it.
Nice car!
I wish Buick had a a more full portfolio, but I do like what they have.
Nice little SUV buick bring A Sedan bring Sedan Again
Straight Facts.🔥🔥🔥🔥
i dont understand the need for buick, before they were a tier just below cadilliac.. but since buick and gm only sells suvs and trucks, this space is taken up by gmc
Envision is a much more pleasant crossover to drive vs the Terrain. Envision is also wider up front, more shoulder room for wider taller people.
They sell in China for some reason so GM keeps them around. It was also the reason why Buick stayed and Pontiac was killed off in 2009.
Big business in China. Thats enough a reason to keep selling them.
Is this Summit White or the Tri-frost?
The piano black console is the only fault I can find with the console. Wouldn't mind if they let the car have the 250-60 hp that the motor can easily handle. It's a very pretty car though.
If this wasn't made in China I would actually be interested
Half the shit in your house made in China....😒
you wouldn't be interested in many cars then, most have lots of chinese parts even if full vehicle is assembled elsewhere
I don’t get this. My much beloved iPhone was made in China and that’s the same with most other phones. Buick will have the same quality standards there as they do in the US as does Apple, Google, etc.
Majority of the shit in your house made in China .....😒🙄
Brace yourselves the wumao are coming.
GM should make a full size Buick SUV to go along with the Tahoe,Yukon, Escalade...I wonder why they never built one
GM is really trying hard. Give me some hybrids and I’ll consider.
Its a shame the reliability of the 2.0t ecotec. Looks great! But premature piston failure and oil burning is a no for me
Beautiful!
This refresh of the Envision is amazing, and hopefully the 3rd Generation of the Envision is supposed to be a revamped design by 2026. Maybe or not so.
J-Rod , what it b like bruv?
@@DeputyDog-mh1yo Like a newer platform of the Buick Envision somehow. As an EV or BEUV(Battery Electric Utility Vehicle). For a 3rd Gen.
@@jonathanrodriguez6376 Right on Jonnie Rod 👍
It’s nicer than the XT4! Trading in the ct5 for this
Great review, but I suggest the outro music comes on a little later that way you’re not rushing through the video & the music is not louder and overpowering your voice.
very nice!
*I was loving this SUV until I found out the shifter got moved to the steering wheel. That's a deal breaker for me on any car.*
You’d reject the entire car based on the 1-second way you would put it into Drive or Park?
@@greeneyesms *Yes.*
Is this comparable to a Mazda cx5?
Idk if it’s just me or what, but this refresh makes the Envision look less premium vs the pre-refresh!
I like it. But I like the second gen better. I don’t like when full line ups start looking exactly the same but different sizes. It’s a design cop out. That why I like that the Korean brands model look nothing alike. You can tell they are sibling but not twins.
For the price... I think it's a decent value!
Looks nicer inside and out, but it's dismal powertrain makes it a big no. It's lazy that these sports trims from brands are just an appearance package. There should at least be a 275hp option. Then, that engine should be the standard one for the XT4.
Thanks
His buzzphrase is "styling language". Loves to pull it out..
50k+ for a buick... how's the longevity and warranty?
Buick is actually very reliable. The 3rd most reliable luxury brand from jd power
Only top trim is 50k. New Buick is excellent with reliability.
@00_UU if it's new you cant says it's reliable yet.
@@Bigfoothawk plenty of used 2021+ Envisions out there, no major issues. I had 2022 Envision as a loaner for two weeks, loved it.
Finally a car that can compete with KIA/Hyundai on looks hopefully it has a better drive terrain and engine, Comparing this to a Lexus is insane I am sure the reliability of the Lexus would destroy this thing
I heard Buick rates high in reliability? Had no idea
Give me the 2.7l turbo, sheesh.
Which Chevrolet does this closest match to? Equinox?
Chevy doesn't have a direct competitor model closest is the blazer for the money but it's bigger and can option with a V6
The Trax
@@dennylafossTrax compares to Envista, not Envision. All these EN names start to sound alike.
First of all, congratulations hitting the 1M i ❤ all your videos but i have been out of the country 😂😂😂 im back and secondly Damn Buick!!!! Nice
I would love for this model or aleast the avenir to come with automatic folding mirrors to feel really luxurious. Not the manual fold mirrors
I Love it...
Great MCR! Too bad that interior color isn't offered in the Avenir trim--that color is gorgeous! I am glad I waited for this new MCR! It looks much better than the Lexus NX. The NX interior is very tech focused and lacks any sense of style. This new Envision interior looks very upscale. A top trim NX is $56K so with tax and license the cost is $60K. That's shocking. The Avenir works best for me.
Same power output as the Jetta GLI not bad.
You already know there's a multi verse where gm kept pontiac instead of buick and McDonald's still had 1$ sweet tea 😢
bring back the lacrosse
Cutie looks just like my aunt's Lexus
In the USA "Drawing a line" means that's as far as we go. It's like saying No More.
The piano gloss is ALREADY scratched and destroyed and it hasnt even come out yet.
GM I wish you would make those cars bigger
I like the garnet seats, but the pillars and roof need to be black/gray. I can’t stand the beige interiors
rav4 prime xse review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with premium package please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are all the Buicks made in China?
Only this one on our market. Envista and Encore GX are made in Korea. Enclave is made in the US
Why can’t you show the infotainment
37k for a base is crazy
It’s crazy how cheap some of y’all are.
You're 10 years behind the times fella. Get used to it, yeah, get used to it.
The amount of small "SUVs" that don't have a rear quarter window in the cargo area is really appalling to me
I'm gonna stick to the old Envision
It’s not a 2 L is only a 1.3 L. Three cylinder only I think you got your fax wrong.
Price too high need a drop of at least 5,000.00 or more
looks like a redesigned cx5 mazda

It's annoying how fragmented GM's line up is.
You're easily annoyed, obviously, yeah.
@gerry9306 they cut corners in the Chevy line up so they can make the Buick vehicles seem worth the upgrade.
