- FIRST DRIVE: The Envista is ALL NEW from Buick for 2024. On the outside you will discover 19in wheels, LED headlights, and special trim. On the inside you will be greeted by a leather interior, 11in infotainment system and 8in digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 1.2L turbocharged inline-3 mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2024 Buick Envista a BETTER luxury SUV than a Mazda CX-30?

I can't lie, they hit a home run with this design. I was never a fan of Buick but this thing looks sikkkk.
Fake ass Lambo Truck 🤣🤣🤣
@@BigHomieCrush From someone that will never have a Lamborghini. And Lamborghini doesn't even make a truck. They make cars and a SUV. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
relax it was a joke. Besides i dont want one even though i can afford one. Im a pickup Truck ATV/UTV guy myself@@whatsup24_7
Really nice vehicle at that price point. Smaller turbo engines seem to perform a little better than the horsepower would indicate. It appears to be a good daily driver at a fair price. Which is something that is getting rare in today’s market.
You hit the nail on that head
But those smaller engines work harder, wonder how far over 100k miles will it get before it runs it's guts out. I mean we were told by GM to make sure customers know that the noise the 1.2L makes is a "normal noise"???? An it makes a noise.
@@BrianWood74The question is, does it make excessive noise? Or is it just a different timbre of noise because it’s a 3 cylinder. Raiti made 2 points - 1 the cabin is very quiet. Period. And 2 - the transmission is well calibrated to keep the power coming on within the low RPM power band in the heart of the respectable torque curve. Unless you are coming from a 72 Buick Electra, I doubt many people will have any problem with the engine sound, or noise.
A@@RaitisRides And all from a "inline three" ...Transversely ...The Socks The Socks The Socks will get you in the end.
This engine will not last long for such suv size, 1.2 liter, it's a motorcycle engine size. Even fiat 500 gives you a bigger engine. This is a big fail.
No matter what you get under $35k, you've got to give up something. The way they allocated the $ that they spent building this car is really wonderful. We're getting the Envista Avenir for sure. Got to consider that ANY car you buy new will in 6 or 7 years will be under pressure with high gas prices as the government pushes people into electric cars (raising gas prices). For us, this is the last gas engine car we'll buy. It checks all the boxes for a mom driving kids around town. My wife is short and can't see over the hood of the CX-30 with the way they made the dash. This is an extraordinarily practical car. People complaining about lack of power need to buy another car.
being the 1st yr,it should carry same look for several yrs,keeping it fresh.
So true! You can’t get 100%off what you want.
just order mine today. got the st with no added packages for 26k . cant beat that price
I have four kids driving a 2009 Honda and I'm 4"11 would you recommend
This is honestly where Buick should sit. Make alternatives to Chevrolet models that cost a bit more but are much nicer looking inside and out, and maybe offer a few more creature comforts. I imagine these things will sell well.
We just bought one today. I have NEVER even considered a Buick before, but the looks and the price sold me.
Beautiful car. It's too bad it has a gerbil under the hood.
I totally get what you are saying
But, it's a kick-ass gerbil.
truly. much better styling than chevy imo. is it possible to put it on ultium without making it $50K+?
If they had cut some the weight, it would have been worth it for the fuel economy
Put the 2.0L Turbo in from XT4/Blazer - already exists should be easy no?
Nice car for the $$ and complete review as usual. Lori does it again 🥇
Thanks for giving Lori props
Joe...another great new car review. Enjoy theses vehicles each time.
Thanks!
One of the best car review videos of this year.
I've always enjoyed Buick but they haven't had a model I was a fan of in a long time. This I really like.
What were they thinking when they paired this beautiful design with 137HP. Extremely poor decision. This car should have at least 200-300HP.
Great review... Very much appreciated!
Another dream video. Thanks for the information on the new Buick. 🙂👍 I am pretty sure that they watch your videos so maybe they will take some of your zonks into consideration.🙂👍
Fingers crossed! Thank you for being so supportive!
You know, Joe, the passenger seat folds flat. To give you lot more room. I was checking these cars out beautiful job by Buick😊
You are very correct
Thanks for the great review as always! ❤️❤️👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Now thats a Buick. Took them 50 years to catch up to style.
Buick knock the styling out of the park.
Styling of this Buick is sleek it lacks a rear wing to make it look a little sporty but it's sharp. No black plastic down low looks great! Thanks Joe and Lori!
I agree. The grill mirrors the Mustang crossover and Ford Fiesta. They should’ve kept the waterfall grill. I’m confident that the grill alone would’ve kept Buick competing with Infiniti.
I’m glad it doesn’t have the stupid wing thing. It’s a cliche’
Have to agree! The styling is gorgeous for the price........the statement is! Expensive car.
Always love to see Lori go on throttle with Joe.❤😊
I like that you give us history lessons at the beginning of the video. I skipped history class in kindergarten now I can learn what I missed
Initial Impression: Style looks good and doesn't look like an old man car anymore.
You are so very right about that Robert
WOW!! for me this beautiful car is really a golden opportunity... thanks for this great vidéo. 💐❤
y’all are so cool. i enjoyed all the videos from y’all.
I appreciate you having our backs!
Absolutely beautiful vehicle, the price point reflects what you get. I would have loved to see some more power under the hood but this is a great daily driver. It May be time to trade in the bmw
I think it looks really good. The body style is damn good looking. However what was Buick thinking when whoever decided on 136 horsepower to be a selling point rather it be the reason it may not even sell. I like the body but Buick could and should have given it at the very least 150 horsepower and truly that’s not even enough. Great review Joe! Hope you are doing well man!
The torque is good........the power with turbo is just OK......drive it! Consumption is low. Overall for the price........it passes!
That is,if you look at the dollars,and value!
y'all comment sections bro-dolts always complaining about HP in the cheapest segments made for MPG is hilarious
Yeah, that's pretty much the main reason I probably wouldn't buy this vehicle, or a Chevy Trax - I was looking at both but no power options for seats, no AWD and such a tiny engine are pushing me away and back towards the CPO sedans that cost $10k more that I've been looking at. They should've put a hybrid engine in this beauty, I think it would sell soooo much better if it had a 4cyl hybrid
Power comes from torque not horsepower you dopes. It has plenty of punch.
yeah, the thing is they really don't want them to sell, they want people to buy EVs
This one pulls off the front end better than the new encore. Wow I love the exterior of this car! so well proportioned!
The new '24 Encore looks like a botched nose job - it's nowhere near as attractive as the original design. Buick really blew it.
I love this video. Thank you for the upload. You're very personable and informative. I am subcribing to your channel. I'm about to manifest this vehicle ✨️
Hello Mr Raiti....have u done a review video of n the 2022 or 2023 gmc acadia with the 2.0L turbo? I'm looking to test drive one or buy
Joe and Lori and Steve and keep up the great work real true and I love the video lot 👍 and I hope you guys get new buick envision next on the review video Joe and Lori 👍
It will be coming soon Dominck! Thank you for being so supportive!
Nice video keep up the good work Joe
I love it…like the price, style, and content. I live in a flat, coastal area so the gerbil engine is fine for me
No bad, Buick! I think they just might make a come-back with this vehicle.
It’s a sharp car, but the engine is sad 😒. But you’re right, it’s a lot of car for the $$$……..if you are not a throttle stomper . Great job Lori !!! 👍😁
Thanks Tom for showing Lori some love
I don’t care what car it is. A new joe is always a must watch 💯
Thank you Leah for being so supportive!
I love the styling of the Envista. However, I have reservations about GM's choice to use a turbocharger to avoid making the standard three-banger engine too anemic. Turbos don't have a great longevity record and are expensive to repair and replace.
I think you are partly right on this. Once vehicles of this type reach their second owners, the likelihood of regular maintenance goes way down. And with turbo/direct injection engines, it is crucial that you change the oil often and regularly. And do regular two-stage fuel system cleanings. Buick actually was rated #1 in J.D Power sales satisfaction last year. And with this vehicle being a FWD (four good winter tires on a FWD is safer than all-season tires on an AWD), you eliminate the complexity of an AWD system which can also fail. It might not be the fastest car out there but fuel efficient. And a great value for the money. So if you do have to fix that out-of-warranty turbo engine, at least you will have a little money in the bank to do it.
The Turbo on a 1.2 or a 1.3 would be easy to replace, if it were to ever go out due to lack of maintenance
This is really nice and Buick did great but that’s a hard one now. The Mazda CX - 30 is truly beautiful.
Cx30 is ugly and over priced! 😢😅
Hi Raiti! Great review!👍👌🫡
Thanks fir being so supportive
@@RaitisRides 🫡
this Buick is growing on me (chevy trax too), not my style - but can't help but like it, and the price is fantastic!! can literally get 3 or these in different colors for the same price as a loaded Mercedes GLC. the on throttle is meh, but for a city cruiser it's impressive.
Good review Joe,my setup would be a dark blue or a white.
Great work Joe. The engine is where they dropped the ball in my opinion
I understand where you are coming from.
@@RaitisRides That was actually the main reason why I didn't switch to the Trax.
@@chrisgelo1425 it is going to be interesting to see how they sell
What I see in the current market. Vehicles with a performance or horsepower direction are being priced out of the market for the average person. Just look at the pricing on all dodge muscle. I just priced out new mustang Gt 58k an that wasn’t top trim.
@@bullittboost6046 Jeez is the Ecoboost even better?
Gorgeous car. Looks like the interior quality is on par with our 22 encore gx. Im definitely going to test drive one.
That is so great to hear!
Great job Lori.
Thanks for giving Lori some love!
As much as you hate rear wipers, they are still a necessity. The rain will not just fly right off, and in wintry states, even as you're driving, snow can and will still stick to the window. Plus, the vast majority of people don't clean the snow off their windows before getting in, but they would put the wiper on to clean that portion.
Now, rain and possibly some snow can fly right off if you put RainX on all the windows. I do every 4 months or so and love it.
Also, with the sloped roof, im surprised GM didn't give this the rear view camera mirror. At this point, GM should have that in every model they make.
Have you ever use Rainex.. Treat your front and back window with that stuff and you want never use your wipers much again :)) I use it all the time living in Chicago!!
@@wiser-zx9pe - Did you read everything I wrote?? (And did you like your own comment? That's weird.)
Lovely Car. Great Job Joe.
I had a lasabre & LaCrosse. This a small crossover coupe. I honestly like it. Point A to B in style.
When a lambo and an Acura had a one night stand.
Lol you crack me up
@@RaitisRides I couldn't help it 😅 those headlights give me Acura vibes
And smoked crack for 9 months.
Joe you the best you review all the car I do not have to go to a dealership thanks
The GM people are doing a good job of giving us a quality car at a very competitive price. I just don't know how they fell so deeply in love with the 1.2 liter 3 cylinder engine in that they seem to think it should be in everything all the time.
Oh it’s easy to understand. GM can pay it’s Korean workers a fraction of the wages that they must pay US workers. So it’d rather pay its Korean workers pennies for those pathetic 3 cylinders than pay American workers for a higher quality larger displacement engine.
@@haroldbeauchamp3770they can build bigger engines in Korea too lmao.
@@joeyt6089 I don't believe my comment ever denied that sir. Please re-read my original comment.
I timed that 0-60 run and that was well under 9 seconds. Really digging this car especially the price - I might have to check this out.
who thinks of 0-60 when It has a 3 cylinder 😂. Its not a konessegg
@@thanosianthemadtitanic a koenigsegg is also not a daily driver, seats 4, under a million bucks, or gets over 32 mpg, you’re in the wrong article kid.
@@briengakaplan-b1550 I'm saying speed is irrelevant when it comes to this type of vechile
Buick 0 to 60 in a weekend
😆
I like it .. a lot . Great job 👏🏻 Buick !
I’m so glad that you like this one
The design looks pretty good. It seems it is a nice option for city driving.
I totally agree with you
@@RaitisRidesSo you don't feel it's a good highway driving car?
Wow, I couldn't believe all the Whoppers and Twinkies this car holds even at that low price. Good job, Buick.
Great review as always, Joe, you totally forgot to zonk the rear incandescent, turn signals and brake lights that are too low to the ground. For 2023 LEDs all around should be standard.
I know the price is low Buick, but LEDs be standard across-the-board. Especially in 2023. Overall excellent review. Love you.🫶
Thanks for having those good eyes!
LED lights are unnecessary and way too expensive to replace when they fail
I think it is mostly nice for the price point; biggest "zonk" for me is the powertrain. Not enough HP, and no AWD with pitiful MPGs for the displacement. At 6,000 ft ASL even less power. Denver's winter weather and trips to the mountains call for AWD more often than not.
The powertrain seems top be the big hot topic!
Notable that Joe found the Evista quicker than advertised, and praised the transmission, ride comfort, handling and subdued noise levels. Give Buick credit for at least keeping ICE alive. I would not even consider this as a PHEV..
that’s how the C8 corvette SUV is going to base on… you could see the C8 front air intakes by the fog lights. the lower rear bumper cut-out is perfect fit iiifor exhaust /rear diffuser..
That new badge reminds me of the old Buick portholes in the fenders
I seen one in all black this morning. It did catch my eyes. But I'm going to have to zonk the 8 inch screen. Another 11 inch would have been nice!
Cool crossover...really like it. My question is ....where do you place the front license plate bracket on this car and numerous others?
Dude is single handedly keeping the twinkies brand in business. I promise i never think about them until I watch these videos 😂
I'm liking this one looks pretty good for the price
Very nice, just hope the build quality is there.
I drove this car Monday OMG this car is dope
Now my perfect SUV for me to buy one Joe.
Nice looking car. I like the idea of Buick providing comfort, value and a little bit of class. It is probably the only GM brand I would consider. Cadillac just seems gaudy and Chevrolet just seems boring. I hope Buick can make a comeback in America I would like to see them build a stylish, high value 2 door coupe/ convertible as a halo car. They have to develop a corporate image that is not just a fancier, better appointed Chevy. Of course in the era of electric vehicles, almost everybody is losing individuality and charisma.
love the shape,great starter car for a young person,i agree it shoud have at least 160 hp and softer materials inside.they should look at the class leader and try to match it or surpass it. i have a 23 enclave and its a great ride. alot of people compare cars to cars that cost much more. a 50000 dollar car cannot ride like a 150000 dollar car or match the inside.
I’m diggin that color
I really like it as well
@@RaitisRides amen
@@RaitisRides amen
Hey Raiti have you seen the action series 'Viper' that aired in the late 90s? This vehicle reminds me of the Viper "Defender"
Hey Joe, love the videos! You need to get a better Mic so we can really hear those engine sounds! thanks
LOL There really are none.
I love this CUV & its price should make it a hit. But my only gripe is why are the brake-lights mounted so low? It's at the same level as the license plate.
Yeah it doesn’t make sense to me
The blinkers need to be visible when the hatch is up per US regulations. Therefore, the current design wouldn’t work. I’m not a fan of how low they are positioned here and in a lot of other models, especially Kia/Hyundai.
@@bradmichael1373 I’ve seen it in other models, too. The Chevy Bolt comes to mind. I guess there’s still the center brake light, but I agree it’s confusing for the driver behind them who is expecting the lights near the turn signals.
I’m not sure the govt got that right with that regulation.
@@bradmichael1373 oh that makes sense.
Nice car, I like chrome glad they added it! That's a slow electric!
I love heated and ventilated seats, all my vehicles have it, heated during the summer and cooled during winter
I know how you feel!
The engine is a little bit of a dog but if you just need a car, this is a really nice car and good mpg. I could see it nice for a young adult. Would be a great first car for a kid too. Everyone needs to remember this is $25k
A very stylish grocery getter with great in-town fuel economy.
I’m curious where the RPMs were revving at freeway speed.
So we are going to lease one for our daughter. Test drive it and the engine is fine. Better yet, I don’t want her racing around crazy, and this size engine gets her around to school and events. Mpg is good not great but a lot better than what she’s driving now lol
Look at how excited this guy is. Imagine what he would be like if it had a real engine?
You forgot ro zonk those old bulbs in the turnsignals on the back.
Good eyes
Joe and Lori Great review as always!!! But I’d definitely take the CX-30 over this Buick
That is the way we would go as well.
I really like the way it looks and it is a great price.
thats a nice car Joe. Buick should bring back the Invicta 👍
great motorbike engine 😁 /actually my motorbike 3 cylinder triumph engine was similar power even without the turbo / but love the daughter story 😅
Thanks for letting me share some laughs.
A triumph speed triple is more fun than any car ever.
The Buick is impressive and attractive, and the top trim price point is pretty darn competitive. As a current GM owner, I wander which vehicle, a GM produce or a Mazda product, will nickle and dime me to an abilivian after 14 years and 250k miles? Maybe GM trucks are built to last, if that's your opinion, but their cars, well, let's say, are not as consistent. Just a thought. My current GM vehicle I purchased brand new, and I've taken care of this car like it's the last car I'll ever own, and I've had to replace nearly "every" movable component excluding the engine and transmission, thanks to my own diligence. My friends who own Camerys, Accords, and Mazdas haven't replaced a 1/3 of what I've replaced in 14 years and 250k miles. It's the price point that always suckers me, sneaky GM. 😊
250k mikes? You should have been bought a new car already.
Who in the hell wants to drive the same car for 250,000 miles for 10-15 years. I can’t think of anything worse then staying with an old styled vehicle with old amenities. I take pride in my vehicles, it’s like wearing a new suit and looking good a new vehicle makes you feel the same. Can’t imagine driving a high mileage rusted out piece of shit. What a terrible life that would be.
J - who would have thunk it ? Buick, hanging on - butt they are enduring. I dig some of the new design language - ya know the market is overly saturated when Buick turns out good looking or unique looking offerings. great review = TACO
Excellent points Tony
Makes a great, wonderful, marvelous, point A to point B, transcontinental………rental car.
I’ve had this car for two week now and I love it. I can’t believe how much room it actually has. I love the look. I love the interior. I think it has plenty of power for driving around town.
Test drove on last week, quiet ride. It is longer than the more expensive Encore. Need AWD platform, for Northern climates and stereo upgrade options.
Actually impressed with the design. Just not a big fan of small displacement engines with turbos.
Current CX-30 2.5L naturally aspirated engine is actually 191 HP.
There is no better way to get rid of that old daughter than convincing her boyfriend to buy her this crossover. It is beautiful, cheap and slow. She will love it… Joe, Lori I love you guys. Amazing job as always.
bold of you to assume she has a bf lmao
@@MrGrowler20 😂 hahaha, only Joe knows.
I don't really care about the car. I really only watch this guy's video so he can give me an idea of what to eat... Two Whoppers it is buddy!!
Thanks Edgar fortuning in for the important stuff!
Im getting this next month. As long as it looks good and can take me to point a and b im good
Sounds like a plan Stacy!
I love how general motors never competes the same vehicle but different brands like this the buick to the chevorlet trax
That is probably a good idea.
The engine is actually peppy, and it’s not mated to a CVT which I believe is the reason it feels good. 🙏If you’re concerned with power output you MUST test drive this vehicle first and the Trax. Feels like more than enough power!
Reliability it's what's important, gm has been struggling for years trying to catch up to other imported brands
A relatively small detail but I cannot understand why there are no air vents in the back of the center console. Especially odd considering that the Chinese version of the Envista has them.
At looks beautiful at a very good price! Only concern is: will it last longer w/o issues after 50k ?
I would wait at least a year to get a handle on reliability.. Rooting for Buick here.
All German Korean and American cars is a trash
Why wouldn’t it?
This - my wife has an 2014 Enclave and it started giving her problems around the 60k mark. I'm looking for a new car - this looks great but the QC part gives me pause.
im 55. i think that is the most beautiful small suv
I am so glad that you like this one.
I think its great that they made this. Get a high quality design for an affordable price especially since I consider buick as a low to mid tier luxury car.
I think the Cx-30 can outperform the Buick going in reverse.
Ugly
Hey Joe, does this trim have a HUD? It seems like it would have one but, you didn’t mention nothing about it.
I just ran across this car online. But I was disappointed to find out that even on the top trim you don’t even have the option for adaptive cruise control. Great review Joe. Please include safety features in your reviews in the future.
Thank you for letting ,e bring it to you!
It sure does have adaptive cruise control - part of the Advanced Safety Package for $595.00
ADVANCED SAFETY PACKAGE: 595.00
• ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
• LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH
SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
• REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
I've owned 7 new rivieras in my life currently have an 84 Buick Riviera convertible besides my CT4V in the garage I've always been a fan of GM Mostly Buick's had over 70 cars most of them GM but there's nothing that they manufactured and it's not like I'm in the process of looking for a 2020 CT6 blackwing that'll probably be the last car I buy Also on some Mazda's the great cars I would have to pick the mazda over the Buick sorry GM not everybody likes SU v's and I'll never buy a electric car
Thousands of us like the chrome ~ we were raised on it with Buick, Cadillac and others...
This is a good point
Never thought I'd say "Nice Buick"
This is so very true!
I’ve always liked Buick’s. My grandfather had 1972 Electra 225.
Now that is really cool.
@@RaitisRides, my mom, who knew nothing about cars, drove a triple black 1970 Buick Wildcat 455 four barrel coupe, because "it looked nice". Dear sweet unassuming Mom. 😍
I test drove this today, I like the drive of the Encore GX better. But I'm likey to purchase the Rav4.
