Buick seriously screwed themselves with the power train. Such a beautiful vehicle!

[@Cerby1979]

True but Buick wanted to appeal to younger buyers so that’s why they put in the 3-cylinder engine and 6-speed automatic in order to make this affordable. Otherwise, if they put in a 4-cylinder engine, the price of this vehicle would well surpass the Encore GX Avenir and be just slightly below the Envision.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

Funny story about the new logo adorning all Buicks. Apparently, in the design phase, GM engineers did not want to take the time to make the old logo with the circle. So they came up with this simpler design to draw quickly on the prototype papers. Management saw this, and thought, "Cool new design for Buick." So now GM is putting out all Buicks with this new emblem, a design shortcut for GM engineering. Isn't that an odd true story?

[@richardmartink679]

Reverse lights and turn signals should be switched on the rear.

It needs a rear wiper with that flat flat glass and , much like kia, hate, hate the divorced taillights....like the kia they are too low on the bumper and difficult (possibly dangerous) to see in traffic. Tail and signal and brake lights should be higher up on the rear for safety.

[@jeffmorse645]

I like the styling quite a bit better than the Traxx, especially from the rear. Shame the Avenir doesn't have rear seat AC vents. Don't often have people in the rear seat, but living in Florida it would be nice for them to have vents when that happens.

They did a great job with the aesthetics and price, however the efficiency is a bit disappointing and probably a couple of things they could have tied together a bit more to make it feel more premium, like if the screen console better blended into the screen background and icons weren't set to make the edges so obvious, the screens wouldn't feel as small, some of which could fixed through software

[@mattkennedy6115]

Seriously. There’s a big gap between screens. They really could’ve done better with that space. The 3 cylinder with and lack of hp would be forgivable if it got 40mg but nope. Also no 360 camera!? Pass….

For this elegant design, they should put in a decent 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine and a hybrid power train, should sell like a hot cake. But this 3 cylinder turbo is going to scare away a big crowd

I love GM cars (Cadi, GMC, Chevy and Buick). This is a smart strategy. People are going to be looking for more affordable cars, and GM has the ability to make them affordable. This is a great strategy, and I think they'll sell lots of these cars. Well done 👍🏽

The shape kind of reminds me of when Honda made that Accord station wagon/SUV thing for like 2 years in the mid 2000’s. Not sure how I feel about it

[@captkirk6145]

My best friend and soulmate bought one. She has a 99 Suburban and got rear ended in a 25 mph zone. So the low stop lights scare me. Thank god she was not hurt. She loves it. For the price what else is available with the features? She has heated seats heated steering wheel and more than i care to list. for what? 25,588. crazy to me. And the 3 cylinder seems to handle it just fine. Had I not researched it I would never known it was a 3 cylinder engine. It's not going to win races but its adequate. I've only driven it twice and the only wishes I have is more side bolster on the seats not a fan of the start stop and the small back window. But she loves it and that's all that matters.

[@aca2983]

I've seen several reviews and most have been very positive. This car has a lot of attributes I've been hoping to find: An affordable car with a bias towards comfort and quietness. My "sporty" days are over, and I'm not rich. I would prefer a more conventional drivetrain, with better MPG, but I'm open to this.

[@Cerby1979]

Except for the powertrain but it’s a reason this vehicle is inexpensive.

[@Mr.Worf63]

The solution for the tail lights is , the accent light can be a brake light , the reverse lights become turn signals and the brake / turn signal become reverse lights. They cheapes out at the rear.

[@davis6123]

This seems like the vehicle that Buick has desperately needed to appeal to younger customers. Nice.

[@Cerby1979]

While this could be the case, first time car buyers will probably still decide on the Nissan Kicks because it’s cheaper and a 4-cylinder though it’s a weak 4.

I believe you I did a great job with this vehicle on design and features inside but the 1.2 l with turbo I think that's the part that's going to kind of buy them on the leg. They should have went with a 2.0 2.4 even a 3.0 would be great

[@jacobtoone9051]

GM still hasn't figured it out with the engines. A 3cyl is too small for a vehicle of this size. They tried putting a 4 banger in the massive Cadillac CT6, it didn't last long. It needs at least 175-180 hp at the minimum. When people spend money on new vehicles, they want it to get up and go. I see blown head gasket and cracked head in the making.

[@TechBroNina]

the mitsubishi mirage has a 1.2L 3-cylinder setup too, just naturally aspirated!

[@S5King7]

At first glance looked great. Diving deeper, the pricing is about right. Ihe HP is so low it's got to be slow.

[@takata98]

Awesome style! nice to see Buick finally having the guts to show their bravery without having to combine elements of "Grandpa's Buick" definitely would be my choice over the Ford Escape. I liked every element discussed until the turn signal/brake light position was highlighted, that is the only thing I didn't like. The height of the hood on most SUV's would often mean the driver behind can't see them in slow moving bumper to bumper traffic. I'm also a driver who reacts to the cars ahead of the one in front. The Hyundai Tucson went this route and is the reason I wouldn't purchase it. When laws require rear window brake lights for safety it makes no sense why car makers would but turn signal/brake lights at bumper level which below where most drivers focus their vision.

[@ls400s]

That’s the car I’d say “ no thanks, what else do you have “at the rental car could get

[@pvva88]

GM will always find a way tio costcut to their detriment. No reason why the rear is not LED for braking and turn signals. Just no excuse, especially for upper trim Buick Avenir.

[@thecargenius1573]

The exterior would’ve been flawless if it wasn’t for that rear taillight engineering. If they already have that big led running light up top, why can’t they just make that the brake light as well?? No need for lower brake lights as the entire top light doesn’t all move with the tailgate. GM did the same on the new bolts too. What a shame. Edit: and that central lower rear parking sensor. It’s like they tried to make it stand out.

[@Stressless2023]

First thing I'd do is hit the auto parts store and spend $10 bucks for some LED bulbs for the brake lights. Can't imagine how much GM saved by not making them LED standard.

[@shredman59]

CC any big differences from the Chevy Trax? Drivetrain is exactly the same, correct? Does it actually drive any different? What about the displays? The sloping roofline as you mentioned is one big difference resulting in a lot less cargo space. An idea for a follow-on video would be a buyers guide between the two brands. I"m sure alot of buyers will have the same questions about the two.

The buick has a softer suspension so it'll drive a little nicer, better sound insulating windows, better materials used on the interior, and the Trax is an suv. the Envista is more of a sedan/SUV. the Buick should hold its value a little better aswell. I sell Buicks along with a few other brands, but I've got a Envista on order! recently totaled my car so I think this vehicle will be a great A to B

[@palebeachbum]

No doubt this is a beautiful CUV and the price is excellent, but given GM Korea's reliability track record, I'm very leery of the Envista's long-term reliability. I'm not interested in spending $1,200 on a new turbo somewhere between 60k and 100k miles, among many other common issues. I may play it safe and wait a few years to see how reliability pans out for others first.

[@robobee1707]

Agree, Buick did well by going with a traditional transmission. They should have buck the trend for turbo only engine options. The old standard Verano engine would have been fine. I"d be interested but not with a three cylinder engine and not with a turbo. Even in this video, it sounds like a sewing machine.

[@troylynn3140]

If you end up liking the car, just buy an extended warranty before the factory warranty expires. I'm looking at the Genesis GV80 coupe and I can't believe I like the Envista ST trim as much as I do. I'll have to test drive one to see how small and entry level it is. For $50K less I could easily sacrifice luxury and performance for style and value.
