The Buick Envista debuted for the 2024 model year, replacing the Buick Encore as the brand's entry-level vehicle. This year, the Envista offers drivers the same coveted fastback SUV styling as the previous model and adds a new, eye-catching exterior color–Aquamarine Blue Metallic. The 137 horsepower engine found in the debut model carries over, along with the standard Buick Driver Confidence Package, front-wheel drive, and a bevy of technology features that turn the cockpit into a connectivity hub.
The price of the 2025 Buick Envista undercuts most of its competitors in the subcompact SUV category, including the Mazda CX-30 and the Volkswagen Taos. If you're in the market for an SUV with a lot of style and value-packed features, you'll find that the Envista offers more for less when stacked up against both. Visit us at Jim Taylor Buick GMC to take a tour of the Envista and see all that it has to offer in person.
For 2025, Buick's smallest model sits squarely in the subcompact SUV segment, with an exterior footprint that makes it perfect for navigating urban streets without sacrificing interior comfort.
Interior Dimensions
The cabin can seat up to five adults in two rows, both of which have plenty of head and legroom. The front row has 41.9 inches of legroom, making it a great option for drivers who are slightly on the taller side. Rear seat passengers have slightly less legroom at 38.70 inches. Two full sets of LATCH connectors are on the rear outboard seats, and a tether anchor is on the rear middle seat to address child safety.
Cargo Area
The Envista has 20.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat and 42.0 cubic feet of total cargo space when the drivers fold the 60/40 split rear bench seat. An available power liftgate makes loading and unloading cargo easier.
Convenience and Comfort Features
Living up to the brand's reputation for providing a premium riding experience in every model, the Envista includes standard QuietTuning technology to block road and wind noise and offers an impressive list of available features. The Preferred trim features cloth upholstery, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and manually adjustable front seats. Leatherette upholstery, contrast stitching, heated front seats, and a heated flat-bottom steering wheel are all available.
The Buick Envista has three trim levels – Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir. All three have distinct exterior design features that set them apart. They share a sloping fastback silhouette that is complemented by flowing lines and signature LED daytime running lights that sit above a wide, low-mounted grille.
Sitting on 19-inch aluminum wheels with a Pearl Nickel finish, the Avenir trim enhances the overall design of the Envista with a Black Ice chrome grille and body-color lower front and rear fascias.
All Envista models feature a 137 horsepower 1.2-liter 3-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine has enough pep to zip the small SUV around town with confidence, and merging into highway traffic isn't a challenge. Critics report that the handling of the Envista is confident, poised, and well-controlled, offering precise steering and firm braking.
Front-wheel drives are standard on all models. If you prefer a vehicle with all-wheel drive, consider exploring the slightly larger Encore GX.
A digital dashboard that features two large displays defines the cockpit of the 2025 Envista. The first is an 8.0-inch digital gauge cluster, while the second is an 11.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. In addition, there is a climate control panel below the central air vent.
Other notable technology features include, but are not limited to, the following:
