2016 Buick Envision: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know

( www.TFLcar.com ) 2016 Buick Envision - The Envision is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces an SAE-certified 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

This is a very nice looking truck. Buick is going to hit this out of the park.

[@brendanjiro1418]

I so need this👌🏽..... I fell in love with buick envision the first day I saw it

[@theonlybucko]

I don't know why people are hating on this car. Drive it and sit in it in real life. This is truly an amazing car.

[@angelajohnson3551]

I have one after 80,000 miles it starts falling apart! Haven't been happy with it since I bought it. I bought it brand new.

[@donaldgreen4385]

I just got a 2019 with 19,000 miles I love my SUV the ride amazing

[@levijones8942]

@@angelajohnson3551 I have a 2018 with 112k and it still looks new and drives new. I’ve just kept up on all fluid changes, rear diff, ptu, transmission and oil. I would trust it to go anywhere.

[@paintedbird]

Looks like a nice vehicle, looking forward to summer when I can see one up close and personal.

[@2010rouge101]

Just what I was waiting for!! Thank you TFLCars!

[@mattjensen3823]

2.0L w/ 252hp & 260lbs torque. The Germans, Koreans, and Americans engines continue to pull ahead of the Japanese.

[@aidanl9535]

Looks great. They are debuting the enclave there too. Bricks on a roll!!

[@ryansandor1760]

the kick open tailgate has been on Ford escape for over 3 years, also the seat in the escape folds the same way. Plus the adaptive cruise control is a standard feature on escape

[@FoodyTunes]

If Buick's gotta build a car in China to bring us affordable but exciting products like this, it shouldn't matter as long as the cars actually hold up over time. GM already does a decent job of building cars in the US, but if people want to see GM afford to create more US jobs with their other brands, they need to have a solid bottom line with Buick - and it just makes sense logistically to build this particular vehicle in China since it is already a well established car in China, and having the production streamlined like that will save lots of money that can be reinvested into making the cars better. But I agree, it would be nice to see more US/ Canadian manufacturing jobs in the future. In the meantime, I can't wait to test drive this car, especially with that AWD system in the snow.

[@norbkowa]

I have a 2016 Envision Premium II Turbo AWD and really love it. Bought it slightly used and had no issues so far. Only thing that bothers me that for 2016 they didn't offer Apple CarPlay and they added that in 2017 but besides that car is awesome.

[@20gravedigger11]

I truly hope this crossover is not based on the severely out-dated Chevy Equinox/GMC Terrain, because I'll tell you, Buick is GM's best looking brand. Really sharp vehicle here!

[@evanganske9240]

The Envision is based on the new D2XX Platform (Cruze, Volt, Next Gen Equinox, etc.).

[@CarsandTechInfo]

I wish the current gen Envision had this engine with this much horsepower & torque

[@tytotheler92]

This is going to be a super competitive car in this segment. I'm impressed. Great, reliable drivetrain too (2.0 Turbo). So what if it's assembled in China. We all knew this was coming. Buick is HUGE in China, so importing it just makes sense.

[@RcW1023]

From China with love!

[@Antenox]

This rep is pretty good at what he does

[@Aaronaitor]

So many Buick reviews in just a few minutes XD

[@nrborod1]

yes--very elegant but restrained. Wondering what kind of mileage is predicted....

[@nobreyner60]

I liked the idea of something between the Encore and Enclave, but this is still too small. Maybe it's perfect for it's primary Chinese market, but this thing is too small. I visited a dealer last night to take a look at an Envision as the milage and cost is roughly the same as the '17 Lacrosse when comparing trims. I got out of my lowered truck and the Envision is small. I'm 6'4" and I was at or around a foot taller than this vehicle. If I were to compare it in size I'd say it's roughly the size of a Ford Escape. The Encore is a Trax which is smaller than a Escape, but I can't see paying $35k+ on a fancy escape. Sorry, I'm sticking on my '17 Lacrosse plans.

[@marcusdumitru]

if that AWD system is so awsome as they say, I barely wait to see Nathan driving this uphill in the mountains, on a snowy day. Pleeease! but... what about ground clearing? What about tyres?

[@robbiehernandez8019]

My neighbor likes the Enclave but she thinks it's too big for her and her daughter...I shall show her this!

I know how the new AWD system came to be. They were sitting around the table going: "we need something ridiculously overcomplicated, something that cannot do much more than much simpler systems but has tons of shit that can go wrong and drain people's wallets, yo!"

[@richardfields9]

We don't go crazy on chrome, we got this chrome handles

[@AlexTheeGr8t]

Looks great!

[@billd5211]

I don't see the big deal that it's built in China. It looks great!

[@clarencefreeman7965]

Buick should call this vehicle the Rendezvous in North America and the Enclave the Rainier

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

The more I know about modern cars, the more I don't think I want one. I don't want my car to babysit me. But then, I see how people drive...

[@foudo13]

Looking at the headlights , it kinda feels Opel / Vauxhall like ! ( yes i'm EU based ) I hope this comes with a Euro badge because the Captiva based Antara is very tired & shoulda been retired long ago ...

[@theonlybucko]

We don't have those in the states. Gm uses the same design language, so it does make sense.

[@Coolizzy-e5l]

Wasn’t there supposed to be a Buick verison of the torrent and equinox earlier?

[@lage19901]

I am a chinese and this car is more expensive in china than in USA.

[@LIFT4POWER]

I own a enclave, the finest luxury American suv on the market.

[@tonyzheng3081]

For those of you who hate the fact that this car is built in China, just don't buy it. Plus don't buy iPhones or whatever that are built in China. :)

[@speedtime2834]

Gmc Arcadia with updated oldsmobile smartrack awd system cool looking car

[@anakinpaez2705]

Nice looking car, has pricing been released?

[@dygardion9130]

The side views look like a " oh shit we forgot to design the mirrors on to the car so we will just slap them on now"

[@dygardion9130]

side view mirrors *

[@lisarum2457]

they are designed that wat because they are supposed to give better vision of the vehicle if theyvare placed there

[@PunxsutawneyDave]

Unless my research is way off the Mazda CX-3 is 168". If that's true this thing is way smaller than it looks. Also Apple CarPlay next year? Why not this year? It's still pretty though...

[@evanganske9240]

Buick wanted to get the Envision to the American market asap. Front wheel drive only models won't even be offered until the 2017 MY.

[@observant98]

Is a V6 available? Will this vehicle appeal to UAW members?

[@observant98]

Don't be surprised if you see some of the Big Shots at the UAW headquarters driving new Envision's.

[@nobreyner60]

Nope, it's a four cylinder through most trims and a turbo 2.0 in the premium 1 and 2

[@ECDT1089-EtheLamborghini]

Looks like the BMW X5.

[@Peizxcv]

164-inch, 168-inch, 202-inch. Someone failed math when designing this car when the competitions are all 175~184 inches long.

[@Nestle245]

168 inches in length? That's still tiny. Should've made this closer in size to the Enclave than the Encore.

[@jamesbeaman6337]

+Ness Rosenbrad Agreed, not sure how this is "right in the middle" between the Encore's 164" and the Enclave's 203". Someone's math is off.

[@tjherbachuk4271]

+Ness Rosenbrad The guy got his numbers mixed up. The encore is 168 inches and the envision is 184 inches

[@Nestle245]

TJ Herbachuk sounds about right. Those sliding rear seats and all that legroom couldn't be in a car so small.

[@mjmiller1026]

guys, this car is made in China for the Chinese market. buick sells 75% of their car in China not the USA. Need to look at the whole picture. they only plan on importing less than 100k of this car. can't even duild it here at that low volume

[@scarsoflife9000]

i got a 2013 regal and i saw one of these at the dealership and they were asking 42k for it thats alot of money for that small crossover lol

[@AAron-jj7zx]

I really don't get all the hate here... it's a great looking car, and hopefully it sells, as far as the made in China business, it doesn't matter any more where you car is put together. robots do most of the work. with any global platform parts sorta come from everywhere and they're usually shared across various makes and models. and this its Chinese so its not safe nonsense; where is your 2yr olds car seat made?... it's probably China lol. so I wish Buick the absolute best success on this one. lest they go the way of the Oldsmobile.

[@daniel41dan]

hopefully a lot of the new technology of the buick Envision will be incorporated into the next chevy equinox. Many of GM's vehicles are built outside the United States .So why not china .

[@DesuVR]

Looks nice, but the headlights look like a mix of Suburu and a Hyundai Santa Fe.

[@rueben44]

I have to say I hate that it is built in China but i am impressed with it.

[@DeviousWashere2]

cool, gm used a fancy term for lsd

[@stranniiy]

OPEL forever! ^))

[@BlackStigz]

the only thing I liked about this car is this dude's enthusiasm heh

[@germanium1872]

I would totally buy this vehicle if it was made in the U.S. I love the attention to detail and everything about it is beautiful, but I'm not giving my money to China.

[@gsxellence]

i wish they would let the equinox die

[@haydensproductions4716]

I can't wait for Buick to lose popularity so GM would finally consider killing the brand, if they had kept Pontiac they would have a full portfolio. Cadillac for Luxury, Chevy for mainstream use, Pontiac for performance, and GMC for work and cargo vehicles. There's no need for Buick, simply because even though GM shows Buick as a luxury brand, I never see comparisons to Lexus or Acura like Buick is claimed to compete with. There's no reason to keep it besides its popularity, and when that day happens GM will hopefully bring back Pontiac and finally reach balance with all brands.

[@yiyangcheng]

Lmfao y'all hating on this car because it's from China and y'all failed to realize a lot of Walmart products are from china lololol what gives? And plus this thing already sold like more than 10k last year lolol

[@Newyorkgiants6597]

so a buick equinox?

[@PaulHojda]

The back 3/4 looks like a chinese blend between a BMW X5 and Renault Kadjar....not really liking it

[@natehiger410]

u dont like it because it made in China, not because how it looks like

[@PaulHojda]

Y Brent I don't really care where it's made, so many things are made in China these days that it was a matter of time before cars would also be made there. I'm just not liking the design of the back end. The front looks good though

[@warlords8839]

omg guys you are too hard with buick! i think its look very good interior/exterior! the interior look better than a audi if you ask me and look more expensive! stop whining about china

[@collinator68]

I don't really see the point in buying this vehicle either buy a Tahoe or buy a 4 door sedan, if you really want something in between, the gmc Acadia or Buick enclave would due just fine

[@x214214]

I still say Buick screwed us. If this suv was so (SPECIAL) THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD 1 TRIM FOR 2016 /17. It is so stupid they all don't have the active cruse, hud, cooled seats, park assist. . . They really screwed us all on this one.

[@mattjensen3823]

4" longer than the encore, but 34" shorter than Enclave... Not exactly 'fitting right inbetween'.

[@Aaronaitor]

the back looks like Subaru

[@bokke7u7]

it is an American Opel. And I hope it never comes to Europe

[@bokke7u7]

it is an American Opel. And I hope it never comes to Europe

[@MaestroTJS]

0:57 Hope the Chinese hear this because he's basically saying that theirs will drive like crap. Of course, if we were to hear the spin on it from their end, we would be told it makes very little difference. The funny thing is that, as with all crossovers/SUV's, if you took out the ride height difference, you would have a small hatchback that no one wanted, but prop it up and suddenly they sell like hotcakes. People are so stupid.

[@jessechen4971]

+Maestro_T Though I don't, many like to sit higher. So people aren't stupid.

[@MaestroTJS]

***** Well they do have that benefit. But people are still rooked in by these things. For example, a CR-V is the size of a (theoretical) Civic station wagon, but they sell it for the price of an Accord. Car makers make a fortune off these compared to sedans.

[@Irishgamer01]

built in China....would u feel safe

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

+Irishgamer01 Safer than if it was built in the USA.

[@GT-gt4bf]

No

[@joeantonio2669]

If it doesn't pass crash tests here it can't be sold, so... yes I would feel safe

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

Joe Antonio Er, a number of lethal cars built by Ford and GM passed all necessary tests.

[@milehighkit4725]

+Irishgamer01 Hell no. And I will never buy a GM product again!!!

[@audpolitas]

I prefer Opel

[@aayonce4]

I don't really see the need for this thing. Like come on .. They should do away with the encore and just make this. Because that thing looks like it will flip over any second .

[@Whoswac]

How can Buick say they are launching a new tri shield, grille and rear but just launched this van that still ha stage verano of old front fascia and the rear has the encore chrome bar going across the middle. This shouldn't have made it to USA. I mean if your going good to launch a new vehicle atleast have it up to par with your alleged new fascia style. This is already outdated just like the cascada. I'm not liking this Chinese partnership. We are not Chinese!

[@TheAhemahemahem]

Why... Now they have 3 crossovers? Isn't having too much what killed them? I love my 01 Tahoe but come on GM don't bite off more than you can chew.

[@turbo_s]

+TheAhemahemahem But they have too much of a gap open right now. If you want a Buick crossover right now, it's either the tiny Encore or the 7-seater Enclave. This is a smart idea.

[@Nestle245]

This is still tiny, only 4 inches longer than the Encore. For example a VW tiguan is 174 inches in length and that jeep is small They should have atleast made this 180 inches in length to make a bigger difference with the 3 jeeps. Buick went from tiny, to small, to huge. They should've made this a medium sized jeep instead of small like the encore.

[@turbo_s]

The small luxury crossover segment is booming right now, so it is a smart move bringing this. I think I saw somewhere that they would have another crossover, and these are CROSSOVERS, not Jeeps.

[@RebelinhoKZ]

Is it the new Chevrolet Captiva?

[@chltmdwp]

It's so blurry!!!

[@Ktheodoss]

is this going to be made in china???

[@johnliu1151]

i see Narrow-minded Americans. and their status.that was funny.

[@GameboyShavis]

They should of killed Buick instead of Pontiac

[@wastedrep9593]

Pontiac was going nowhere. Plus; with the disaster with aztek, Pontiac would have died anyways. Buick came back strong with the new enclave and that car is "expectation shattering"

[@GameboyShavis]

+demented moose If they would of put the Aztek into production, maybe will still have Pontiac, Saturn, Saab, Oldsmobile, Izuzu, & even Hummer!

[@GameboyShavis]

+demented moose If they would of put the Aztek into production, maybe will still have Pontiac, Saturn, Saab, Oldsmobile, Izuzu, & even Hummer!

[@nascar4824588]

I agree. Pontiac went hard. Not everyone can afford a buick though

[@wastedrep9593]

Pontiacs were always ugly. Copying the BMW pig snout grille. Pontiac was just never gonna survive. It was completely irrelevant. Pontiac should have never been a thing

[@milehighkit4725]

After 30 years of loyalty. Now I will be driving a Ford.

[@Blakehx]

I like it… but… it still burns gas (should be electric), the fuel door is on the wrong side, and it should have a CVT!

[@AllNatural7]

+Blakehx ~ OH MY GOSH!!! I thought I was the only one who really cared where the Fuel Door was located! I was having a major discussion with my dad about that. I want it on the Driver's side for safety since I am always driving & getting gas by myself. What's the purpose of them being on the passengers' side? I really want to know. The Nissan I have now has it on the driver's side of course.

[@frankmagana1408]

Im a huge GM fan, but buick/gm, you guys take a big fat L for making and importing a car from CHINA. Its like you want your customers to go to ford or lincoln huh?

[@frankmagana1408]

Im not done ranting. This is a great looking car in and out. I DONT WANT IT TO BE MADE IN CHINA. Its bad enough that the phone im typing on is made there. My dad is a huge fan of buicks, he had 4 of them, 2 lesabres and 2 lucernes, and he wants a mid size SUV. He was looking at the terrain and when i saw this video i was so excited and then i figured out it was made in china. Im so angered that ill just tell my dad to take his business to Ford, maybe subaru. Yes, im so angry im willing to shove business towards japan smh

[@1DrunkSocialite]

China is Buick's largest market. They sell way more there than in the US. It's only makes good business sense. Not only that but the Terrain is assembled in Canada along with many other GM vehicles. And parts of Ford come from Germany.

[@mertz313]

+Frank Magana Quit crying.

[@frankmagana1408]

+Just D8vid2 i know and I don't care. American cars should not be made in china

[@frankmagana1408]

+Heartagram this is just the start. Soon everybody will do this. Because the Germans did the same thing by using mexico, and look now. Everybody makes their parts and vehicles in mexico.

[@esvinperez556]

GM should get rid of the Enclave.

[@trenton.tchannel1810]

Noooo they shouldn't rented one and loved it only complaint is the steering where is small

[@chrisramsey3603]

[@greatestcontentwatcher]

Hi second

[@phgamer4393]

so their AWD system is similar to Mitsubishi's? lol. not exactly unique.

[@rossutigard]

Moderate technology features are semi impressive, however disappointing engine/drivetrain and exterior finishes yet again......buick seems to be kind of trying but possibly being held back and told to put on a happy face, or else they are lost and need some direction...

[@claytonsetlak4601]

hi first

[@coffeekhan]

Thanks for bringing this to us, but I got 50 seconds into the video and had to stop. This guy is supposed to be a professional spokesperson for Buick? Way too many verbal pauses for my taste. I will check again in the future to see if you have done one of these using your own talents. NOT a good representation for Buick!

[@Sergiu231082]

Front is taken from Opel, back from Honda Pilot. I live Buick since 2003 but now, i dont like this mix of orhers cars.

[@clovisthefirst492]

another SUV - _ -

[@clovisthefirst492]

headcas620 ugh, cross over is just a car based SUV, do you know what SUV means?

[@clovisthefirst492]

headcas620 sigh, once again, a cross over is a car based SUV, SUV does not refer to body on frame vehicles, it stands for SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE. you can read about it here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_utility_vehicle and from autotrader . *When Is It an SUV? If you're unsure whether your vehicle of choice uses a car-based unibody design or body-on-frame construction, the safest bet is to use the term "SUV." That acronym is still used to describe nearly anything with available all-wheel drive and raised ground clearance, so you'll probably be safe*

[@AllNatural7]

+clovis myers ~ So would you say a Cross Over handles better than an SUV? Would it hug the road better and be more comfortable to drive during long distance trips? This or either the Encore (I'm only 5'2 with no children) would be my 1st Domestic vehicle and I'm a bit concerned b/c I always said I would never buy an American made vehicle (well, now it looks as these aren't 100% made in the good ole US of A). I was looking at a VW Jetta or a 3 Series BMW, but my mechanic of 12+ years encouraged me not to because they weren't making them like they use to. I've had a Toyota (Cressida - very 1st car) , Honda and now my Nissan for 17 years with almost 243K miles on it. I'm sure I could manage the price tag of a Buick vs. a BMW or Audi. Plus I get to sit higher and see better.
