I have watched well over a dozen of these Envision reviews and i really appreciate that you took this on an everyday excursion to find you daughters bike. Real life for Real People.
Bought a black on black Essence model with panoramic roof. Love the quiet ride, and comfortable interior. Safety items and tech gadgets are nice. Traded a 2013 Ford Escape Titanium was looking at new escapes but didn’t like the 20-21 new design also for the price on the Ford about equal to this car with same equipment. Far more luxurious than a Ford Escape. Absolutely love driving this vehicle.
This 2021 Envision looks the part and smokes the Acura RDX in 30-50 mph, 50-70 mph and best the 60-0 mph stopping 15-feet shorter in Car & Driver testing. Such good price too!
I LOVE mine. I'm 35 and no Grandpa :). It's really nice w/the ST package, if you want some extra sport/youth. Never had a crossover, but this one is still fun to drive, super functional and quiet, and everything in it is simple but nice.
We test drove this car. Wonderful. With the incentives that GM usually has it’s a bargain. Made in China, its predicted to be just as reliable as most of the Asian brands. Too bad it was a little too big for us. The Mrs. ended up buying the Mercedes GLA 4Matic instead. The Avenir is the trim to get tho.
Good Morning Brian! Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful reviews. It's terrific that you are able to weave your family into some of your segments. Two questions; One, is there any chance that you may review an Avenir version of the Envision [ I am surprised how drawn I am to this car]. Two, is your wife doing additional car videos? I ask because I noticed portions of your Kia Carnival video where she alone is presenting the vehicle. Thank you for your outstanding work! Kindly, Graham
"...Pulling 0.84 average lateral g on the skidpad and putting up a 27.1-second figure-eight lap at 0.63 average g puts the Envision(2021) in good standing with the competition. The Acura RDX zipped around the bends almost as quickly, in 27.3 seconds at 0.62 g, and the Corsair 2.0 used 27.7 seconds at 0.67 g. Cousin XT4 recorded 26.3 seconds at 0.66 g....Needing only 116 feet to stop from 60 mph is a shade better than the XT4's 118 feet and is also better than the 2021 Acura RDX SH-AWD, which needed 120 feet, and the Lincoln Corsair AWD, which needed 126 feet...

I have notice some buzzing nose from the reading lamp control buttons nonstop after the engine starts, have you guys experienced that? Just curious if there's a fix to it.
I know it’s kind of silly, but I am considering this against a BMW X1 and a Volvo XC40. Radically different cars, but all nice rides and will come down to best deal.
I love the car overall but it’s embarrassing that luxury cars don’t have naturally aspirated V6s and V8s or even V12s. I’m pretty sure the technology is there to make it fuel efficient. The reason you go with those engines is smoothness. There’s nothing smooth about a supercharger.
There is a place for a bracket to be placed in there for towing if needed out of snow, mud or whatever. Most car have them. It is kinda like an eye bolt.
GM needs to hire better designers. So many dated design elements - like it’s a warmed-over product from the bankruptcy days. It’s like they refuse to look at what the competition is doing.
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluf
Ha,ha..Probably because you couldn’t afford it.This thing taken and driving out of the car dealership will end up total priced about of $40-50 grands..

As a Father Myself I like how you incorporated your daughter. Great Review Man!💪🏽
Love the fine-tuned exterior shots!
I test drove one. Very impressed.
Beautiful & Exciting, Way To Go Buick, Might Have To Consider Trading in My Grandpa 2000 Buick LeSabre!🙉👍
I drive a 2020 Buick Encore gx and absolutely love it. Want to trade up to the Envision eventually, but the Encore gx fits my small garage better...
This 2021 Envision looks the part and smokes the Acura RDX in 30-50 mph, 50-70 mph and best the 60-0 mph stopping 15-feet shorter in Car & Driver testing. Such good price too!
Completely agree Mr. T!

Thank you for such a detailed review. Love the look of this SUV.

It bothers me how GM doesn’t have a standard sunroof on top trims

Good video. Not bad but they can still pick up their game. How’s the plastic? Trunk looks small.

Sorry I don’t have the vehicle anymore and did not notice it.
I know it’s kind of silly, but I am considering this against a BMW X1 and a Volvo XC40. Radically different cars, but all nice rides and will come down to best deal.
This would be larger than the other 2 so if space was a consideration than this could be your pick.
Looks good. Wouldn't mind owning that :o)
I like this. Just wish they made a revised version of the 3.8 Supercharged V6. Maybe the 3.6 with a Supercharger🤔

I could not envision a 2020 however i can definately envision à 2021 in my driveway esp in avenir trim.
It needs more hp for something that tops out in the 40s.
Any idea what the little plug is on the front bumper near the bottom of the passenger side?
There is a place for a bracket to be placed in there for towing if needed out of snow, mud or whatever. Most car have them. It is kinda like an eye bolt.
It's very likely for a block heater for wintertime.
I like the looks but wish it got better gas mileage.
Grandpa's Buick was made in the US. This Buick is Chinese made import.
Thanks for the review. 20" wheels are ridiculous on an SUV in my opinion.
it’s ridiculous that Buick is still copying Opel, even tho Opel isn’t anymore with General Motors

Looks nice, but I still wouldn’t buy any GM product.

It’s great looking for a Buick but it’s certainly not luxury. It’s a Chevy quality for Buick price.
Not for me.
Ha,ha..Probably because you couldn’t afford it.This thing taken and driving out of the car dealership will end up total priced about of $40-50 grands..
@@Chu3505 Nothing to do with the price it's just not my style .
