2024 Buick Envista Vs 2024 Honda HR-V - Which One Is The BEST Choice?

The 2024 Buick Enivsta is an all-new compact crossover. This new model is so popular that Buick dealers are having a hard time keeping any in inventory. Meanwhile, the 2024 Honda HR-V enters the new model year as a carryover model after a full redesign for 2023. The HR-V commonly presents the same problem for Honda dealerships in that they are hard to keep on the lot long. That is a great problem to have if you are in the car sales business but how do these two models measure up for potential buyers? See a side-by-side comparison in today’s Vehicle Visionary video to find out!

I bought the Envista ST last month. So far, I’ve been very pleased with its performance. Even with the small engine, it had plenty of pickup and it cruised very well on the highway. Remote start, heated seats & steering wheel, sunroof, for 27K.

My mom just bought a base Envista on my recommendation, I always recommend GM first due to parts availability and parts pricing, and how easy it is to find mechanics to work on them. Even though we get a lot of snow, nobody in my family has ever owned an AWD car. Only FWD and RWD. It really isn't necessary if you have good tires and know how to drive. The base Envista is the one I would always recommend due to the 17 inch wheels and non low profile tires. All terrain tires are available to fit the base Envista and should be decent in the snow with them.

Hand down the Envista why because of it looking like sedan crossover which looks like a carbon copy of the Lexus NX 2024 inside and out. Love that it doesn't have rear windshield wiper because that dictates an SUV look It has a great value with all the bells and whistles without the animated sound of a CVT with less torque power... Just wish the Envista trim had up grade in engine size like the Encore 1.3L will give it an ideal touch !! Maybe they will consider that in the 2025 Envista :)) Can't wait to purchase SOLD !!

[@kendallhughes7507]

BUICK is typical American junk with some cheap lipstick on it...SMH

[@s47industries]

Envista for me. The lower power numbers on the Envista are a bit misleading because the vehicle is a lightweight, at its heaviest trim it's about the same if not lighter than the lightest HR-V. It doesn't need the same power to match the acceleration of other vehicles in its class. Don't get me wrong, it's not fast, but it's quick. Biggest question mark with the Envista is the engine longevity. If it's anything like the 1.4T, there shouldn't be any abnormal issues. Those motors have average reliability. Taken care of they will hit 200k before major issues, abused about 150k before having major issues. But no doubt being forced air induction it will be more prone to wear than any natural aspirated motor, regardless of manufacturer. I will say though, that 3 cylinder engine sounds pretty darn good at open throttle. Long story short, the HR-V is the safe option. The Envista is the exciting option. For my money I'm buying the Envista and trying to pay it off early.

[@nodak81]

The 1.4 is a terrible engine. Not sure how you arrived at "average reliability". They blow head gaskets all the time and many have had to replace the turbo multiple times. Luckily these 3-bangers are totally unrelated to the 1.4

The Buick’s exterior and interior is just way more upscale and the technology/software is way better too. If a larger engine or AWD is what you want you’d be looking at a Encore GX. The Honda looks and feels cheaper everywhere, still a nice vehicle.

[@MikeD1101a]

The concept of a CVT in part is when you get to your cruising speed, the engine can run at the lowest possible RPM range. In a convential automatic, an engine may run a 2000 rpm at 45mph...2200 rmp at 50 mph, 2400 rpm at 55, and then any higher it drops back down to 2000 rpm at 60 when it can go into the next higher gear. In a CVT, with seemingly 'infinite' gears, no matter what your speed, 45mph, 50 mph, the transmission will eventually adjust to the gear that allows for the lowerst posssible RPM at ANY speed (2000 rpm in this case).

[@jayf6525]

We're currently looking at the Envista. Buick has come a very long way. It's a good-looking car with lots of features at a reasonable price. It drives, rides and handles very well. We own a 10-year-old CRV. It's a very good car and has served us well, but we keep our cars for about 10 years and we're ready to upgrade if we get the right deal. Our CRV only has 56,000 miles so we could drive it another 10 years if necessary. Honda makes a great car, but they've gotten more and more boxy looking. So, for us, the Honda is out.

The rear window has no wiper. What happens with such a light slope of a window when it rains and gets dirty, or worse yet, if you live in a northern climate how do you keep snow (or worse yet slushy/road salt filled muck) off of that window when you are driving? I think Buick said the aerodynamics will help keep it clean, but what if you are driving at a lower speed and you have that salt/snow/ice mixture..don't you need a wiper to keep it clean and visibile?

How is it any different with any sedan??

[@MikeD1101a]

The space between the rear of the car and where the rear window starts. There is a big difference for sure if you ever drove a sedan vs an SUV on a snow or even wet road.. In most sedans, the trunk provides space between the back of the car and the rear window. That area is big enough to prevent the spray/mist the car makes from covering the rear window. Drive a sedan on a slush/salt covered road and then drive an SUV on the same road where the window is right at the rear of the vehicle, and you will see the difference in a couple of seconds. Most sedans, the rear window 'starts' at least a foot, in many cases much more than that, from the rear of the vehicle, in the Envista, its a matter of inches.@@henrytenden

The engine was very disappointing and noisy. The car lacked sophistication and the ride was stiff. Too much road and cabin noise. I’ve owned five Honda’s. I would not buy an HRV.

Cruising on the interstate with a 137 hp 3 cylinder? That would be hilarious.

[@pushrod3022]

Cruises just fine

[@lukewalker1051]

Envista is better. CVT in the HR-V is awful.

[@kelleeb7823]

JD Powers has Buick rated very high in dependability these days. FYI

[@gondolfozarzana1527]

The Envista has a twin - the Chevy Trax both are made in Korea. Chevy Trax had a bad reputation, so GM stopped making for 2 or 3 years. The Envista is a better looking vehicle, the Trax is a few bucks cheaper -My Chevy dealer told me if I purchased the Envista his Chevy service dept can and will work on it (same parts?) - I would opt for the Envista.

Based on long term reliability, I would go for the Honda. Unfortunately, long term reliability of American cars is sometimes an issue.

[@gggg3119]

Envista is made in Korea lol.

[@chynacash3138]

@@gggg3119 I work at a GM subsidiary in Detroit and we produce the HVAC components for these Buick Envista's and the Chevy Trax sister vehicle, among a few other models, so they're not 100% Korean.

[@lauranardoni5626]

I like the Buick

[@AngelCruz-qi1ev]

Evista engine is made in Mexico. The body made in Korea.

[@hertzair1186]

Envista has much better styleage.

[@scarbourgeoisie]

I'd choose the one WITHOUT a snowmobile transmission.

[@marcelmckinley8191]

Turbo 6speed very nice . GM done it again innovation 3cyl for better feel economy.

[@lindagary7077]

Envista has vents for back seat under the front seats is what I’m told

[@thecougarexperience]

Envista all the way!

[@crewdogger]

Winter tires are far superior to all-wheel drive if you live where it snows.

[@scottmckay9535]

Isn't the Envista a 3-cylinder turbocharged engine?

[@craig5042]

GM Korea is building some better cars today . I hope the new Envista and Trax prove to be good to their owners. If they turn out dependable GM will have winners. .

[@gerryswetsky2949]

Which one is the BETTER choice!! Where did you go to school?

[@stephenwinter8892]

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video if I had to choose I would wait for our group of journalists called AJAC automotive journalists association Canada they take a large group of vehicles and make a yearly announcement whom they recommend online or in Toronto star newspaper in print or on the company website

[@bidensucks6792]

I hate to be "that guy", but the Buick has a 1.2 liter 3 cylinder. NOT the 4 cylinder you stayed in the video!

[@dadbennett9978]

3 cylinder GM turbo vs 4 Cylinder Honda…there is really no decision, naturally aspirated Honda wins every time. The GM is also more expensive if dealers are selling at maroon. The Buick is pretty though! A lot of people will fall for the pretty car that will leave you broken down as soon as the warranty runs out!

[@dadbennett9978]

MSRP not maroon! Lol

[@VehicleVisionary]

LOL Good ole autocorrect strikes again!

[@thegraggs]

Buick is ranked better in initial quality over Honda. Buick looks better, much nicer interior, drives more quiet, better acceleration, similar fuel economy. Buick for the win.

[@rolandelliott]

I give the Buick 2 thumbs up

[@ag1382]

Envisa, new model and first out year problems and issues. The question is quality. Honda or Buick? Looking at directly the back of Buick reminds ne of a dumpster.

[@user-hs1ow9xt3x]

I do NOT like CVT.

[@mr.anderson2257]

Good luck getting a 2024 at either of those prices.

[@1232bluejays]

No need for awd

[@pedrofernandez8729]

A3 cyl turbo? Unless there is a Toyota emblem on it, I'll pass.

[@stellaa1328]

Another Detroit win in my opinion, but that Honda is nice.

[@fany9264]

HR-V VS TRAILBLAZER.
