What really made the 2020 Envision such a compelling SUV is that it has a long list of standard safety features. Many of the advanced driver-assist features that have made a number of SUVs seem ultra-safe only come on the higher trims and at a steep cost. But that is not how Buick has typically approached the Envision, and it is expected that the trend will hold true with the 2021 Envision too. As a matter of fact, its suite of safety features is one part of the Envision Buick has already announced.
Standard Safety Features
In the same statement referred to above, the list of standard safety features is nearly exhaustive. For starters, Front Pedestrian Braking and Automatic Emergency Braking, a couple of technologies that can actually stop the car for you in some cases, will come standard on all 2021 Envision trims. Forward Collision Alert is another example of a great safety feature that will come standard and is a nice addition to the collision avoidance package.
The 2021 Envision will also come standard with Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, which both alerts you if the SUV begins to swerve into the adjacent lane and can even steer the vehicle back into its lane in some instances. The Following Distance Indicator will also be standard and will help maintain a safe distance from cars in the front of the vehicle.
Exciting New Features
Another technology that is often billed as one of convenience but doubles as a safety feature is the all-new Head-Up Display (HUD). With the HUD, drivers will be able to see who is calling them, what the speed limit is, how fast they are going, and several other pieces of vital information without ever having to take their eyes off the road. This will make driving the 2021 Buick Envision safer than ever.
The large 10” touchscreen will also contribute to the overall safety of the 2021 Envision as it will allow drivers to navigate and change songs without having to strain their eyes. And with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, drivers will be able to stay connected without having to lift a phone to their ears. Anything to keep cell phones out of the hands of drivers is a smart move, and Buick integrates this technology perfectly to make for a very safe and functional ride in the 2021 Envision.
Finally, two more great features, Rear Park Assist and an HD Rear Vision Camera, will help take the stress out of parking and help make sure you, other cars, and pedestrians around you are all safe. It is technologies like Rear Park Assist that not only make the 2021 Buick Envision safer, but more convenient too.
These features are all in addition to the even longer list of available safety features, which are sure to make the 2021 Envision an extremely safe SUV. Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert are only a small sampling of the technologies that will be available on the 2021 Envision.
