Top 10 Reasons to Love the New 2021 Buick Envision

As your top-rated Buick dealer, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the new 2021 Buick Envision. This pint-sized crossover is quite impressive with its driver-centric features and sculpted design aesthetic. If your family prefers to drive around in style, this is the right vehicle for you. To show you just how amazing this S(YOU)V is, our experts have put together a top 10 list of reasons why you’ll love the new 2021 Buick Envision.

#10 – It’s Bigger

As a redesigned model, the 2021 Buick Envision is larger than the 2020 model. Measuring 185.5-inches in length, 74.1-inches in width, and 64.6-inches in height, it is approximately 1.8-inches longer, 1.7-inches wider, and 2.2-inches taller than previous models. What’s even more surprising is that the total weight has dropped down from 3,755 pounds to 3,685 pounds. This means that the overall performance will be better.

#9 – It Has Plenty of Space

This two-row crossover can carry up to five passengers with 25.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. If you need more room and can spare the seats, you can fold down the back row to reveal the maximum cargo space measured at 52.7 cubic feet. Either way, there is plenty of space for groceries, luggage, or even a new piece of furniture.

As for passenger room, front-seat occupants have been given an extra 0.7-inches of hip room. Meanwhile, the back-seat passengers will enjoy 0.4-inches of extra headroom and a surprising 1.8-inches of additional legroom. This means that your children can grow into the vehicle with no problem.

#8 – It Gets Great Gas Mileage

Although previous Envision models have had two powertrains to choose from, the new 2021 Buick Envision will most likely only have one. Most of the powertrain details have yet to be released, but here’s what we’ve gathered thus far. The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine has been retired, and the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder motor will carry over. Pumping out 230 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, this engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and your choice of FWD or AWD.

If you plan on hiking, camping, fishing, or going on frequent road trips, we highly recommend the AWD system. The average estimated fuel economy is rated at 25 MPG combined (22 city/29 highway), which is very good for a crossover. It is also rumored to tow up to 1,500 pounds.

#7 – Smartphone Integration Is Standard

While many competitors only have advanced smartphone integration on select trim levels, the new 2021 Buick Envision will include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on every model. These two features allow you to sync your smartphone devices to the vehicle’s infotainment system. You can stream music and use your favorite apps whenever you want.

If you are going on a road trip, you can locate gas stations, rest areas, local eateries, and even hotels. Taking things a step further, you can even compare prices using specific apps to find the best deals. You can do all of this without ever taking your hands off of the steering wheel.

#6 – It Has Wifi

Another feature that comes standard on every 2021 Buick Envision model is a 4G LTE Wifi hotspot. Making the advanced smartphone integration possible, this onboard connectivity feature allows you to access apps and browse the internet without using your phone’s data plan. You can post photos to your social media accounts or look up local restaurant reviews to find the best place to eat on your family road trip. Keep everyone in the loop during your travels, and maintain a feeling of connection everywhere you go with this onboard Wifi feature.

#5 – The Infotainment System is Golden

Since we are on the subject of infotainment, let’s address the system as a whole. While not a lot of details have been released yet, we do know that the standard touchscreen interface will probably be at least 8-inches. That’s pretty big for a compact crossover. Most competitors install a 5- to 7-inch touchscreen interface on their base level models.

However, Buick has gone above and beyond for the 2021 Envision. This larger interface is easier to read at a glance, and the graphics are stellar. With the simple tap of your fingertip, you can control all of the infotainment functions without being too distracted from the road. The screen is also customizable so that you can have quick access to your most used settings without having to pull over and tap through dozens of screens. Also, keep in mind that higher trims will have even better infotainment features. These may include a larger 10-inch touchscreen or a navigation system, or satellite and HD radio. We have high hopes for every trim level!

#4 – It Comes with Lane-Keeping Systems

We also expect to see both lane-keeping assist and lane-departure warning systems on every 2021 Buick Envision. These two features work in unison to prevent dangerous lane changes or drifting. Using cameras and sensors to monitor the lines on the road, the systems will detect if the vehicle begins to leave the lane unintentionally. After an alert is triggered and no action is taken to correct the path of the vehicle, the system will automatically guide the Envision back into its designated lane.

#3 – It Can Detect People

Pedestrian detection is a big deal, especially for folks who live in urban or suburban environments. Using front-facing sensors and cameras, the advanced pedestrian detection safety feature will detect if a person walks out into the street and into your path. Visual and audible alerts will signal you to stop, and the system may even react for you.

#2 – It Comes with Emergency Braking

Playing off of the pedestrian detection features, the automatic emergency braking system will be triggered if no evasive action is taken. This will take total control of the braking system to bring the Envision to a complete stop. As an added protection, this safety feature can help prevent deadly accidents. It works for pedestrians, vehicles, and even the occasional rogue deer.

#1 – You Can Add Adaptive Cruise Control

Finally, we also expect to see adaptive cruise control on higher trim levels or as a stand-alone option. This advanced safety feature will enable you to set the desired speed limit. If traffic begins to slow, the system will slow the vehicle down to match the pace. Once the traffic has resumed its normal flow, the system will return the vehicle back to the original speed. This can take a lot of stress off your drive through rush hour traffic. You won’t have to worry about slamming on the brake pedal every few feet.
