A friend just bought a 23 Enclave. Was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is on the inside. Really nicely done. Top notch materials…fit & finish….smooth & quiet. Never thought I’d shop Buick, but definitely would. We have a great local dealer too with a good service department.

I bought a new 2021 Envision Avenir and like almost everything about it - EXCEPT - the shifter in the center console area ( I see they've changed it to be located on the steering column now ) After three years of driving mine, I STILL find myself having to look down to see what lever to pull up on - this new one looks like it will be much easier to operate, without having to look down at it. In my opinion, it IS worth the extra money for the Avenir trim - I've been buying or ordering vehicles with every option available for many years, starting with my first car - 1974 Firebird Formula 400 . . . "You Only Get ONE Life . . Then, You'll Be Dead For A LONG Time" !!!

I can’t stand the push/pull button shifters. I’m glad to see them getting away from those. And I’m with you on buying cars that are optioned out and fun! I have no interest in driving a bare bones cheap car for 20 years. Maybe not the best financial decisions but as you said..YOLO

I just got the Preferred in Red this weekend. I test drove 8 vehicles around the same price point and kept coming back to the Envision. A lot of people hate on Buick, but this is my 3rd Buick. (had one Chevy also). I'm 35, so I'm not 97 like everyone assumes the average Buick driver is. I would've loved an Avenir in that blue color with the white/beige interior. There was a 2021 on Carmax that I considered, but I thought going brand new made more sense. I got the Preferred one for just under 32k, so I think I got a solid deal.

Interior nighttime ambient lighting was attractive on the 2021-23 models, but the 2024 models have enhanced their lighting capabilities with an option of changing colors. An Envision would be my preference over the Lexus NX or Toyota Venza - better value.

Great review! Thanks for pointing out that the passenger seat is height adjustable, even though manual. That is important to me, especially if I’m the passenger. I think this has a lot of content for the price, especially in Preferred trim.

I agree! These are even being discounted already so one can get into a Preferred fully loaded for well under $40k.

Such a huge price jump from the Envista to Envision. Dumbest thing Buick should change though is charging for literally EVERY color paint job. One or two "premium" paints, sure, but everything? C'mon.
