buick logo

The Buick Envision is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by General Motors and marketed under the Buick brand since 2014. It is exclusively manufactured in China by the SAIC-GM joint venture, supplying the Chinese and North American markets.

Concept

The Envision was first introduced in 2011 as a design concept. It was a small crossover with two large scissor doors opening upward. The concept was a plug-in hybrid with advanced technology such as a solar roof and head-up display. The waterfall grille made it to the production version of the Envision.

First generation (2014)

The Envision was first introduced in China in August 2014, also known by its Chinese name, “Ang Ke Wei” (昂科威). It went on sale in China on October 20.

The Envision debuted in the U.S. at the North American International Auto Show on January 11, 2016, sharing the segment with a second generation GMC Terrain and the Chevrolet Equinox. It went on sale in the United States in the summer of 2016, making it the first Chinese-built GM vehicle to be sold in America. It was initially offered with all-wheel drive, and subsequently with optional front-wheel drive for model year 2017.

The North American version of the Envision features two powertrains: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 197 hp (147 kW) and 192 lb⋅ft (260 N⋅m) torque, and a turbo-charged 2-liter four-cylinder engine SAE certified at 252 hp (188 kW) and 260 lb⋅ft (353 N⋅m) torque. Both were initially paired with a third-generation six-speed transmission. For the 2016 model year, the Envision was only available in Premium I and Premium II trim levels, with the 2.0L turbo engine, seven active safety technologies, and OnStar/Intellilink connectivity. The trim levels expanded to five for the 2017 model year.

In addition to the larger engines offered in North America, Chinese buyers also have the option of a turbocharged 1.5-liter unit.

Trim levels for the first generation Envision were known as the 20T and 28T.

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-06-09
  • VIN: LRBFZRR47ND
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
  • Summary: Purchased new in March 2023 -Repair Safety Restraint System failed (alert signal) failed late June 2023. Inspected at the Dealer/mechanic on July 11 2023, and it was determined the Safety Restraint System panel was defective. Part ordered late June early July 2023 (estimate). Part was backordered and not available for installation August 31 2023. Service department failed to notify me that the part was in. I had to call them. Appointment was set for Replacement part to be installed on September 6 2023. In the meantime a new alert appeared (Check engine light). I notified the service department of the new issue (check engine ) and the need for them to inspect that. The vehicle was due for an oil change and rotation as well. Service department determined that the engine failure resulting in the (check engine light) was due to a defective fuel pump/injection system. Part ordered and an appointment was set. Replacement part was installed on September 12 2023. Literally three days later, after the fuel pump/injection was replaced, another alert appeared (check engine light). September 15, 2023. This particular vehicle has major issues and I am contacting the dealer for a complete buy back and/or replacement vehicle. My safety and the safety of my passengers was at risk from the first minute the restraint system failure signaled. The part was backordered for a long while. I had no other form of transportation. The dealership did not offer a loaner vehicle or to pay for a rental car, nothing. In fact they did not seem concerned at all. Not concerned enough for the service department to place follow up phone calls to me with status updates over the many weeks I waited for the part to arrive. The car obviously has electrical and fuel injection issues straight from the manufacturing floor (which according to reports Buick is aware of). Ref. Edmunds and NHTSA reports. There are a host of reasons why my safety was at risk during the few mo of ownership.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-07-19
  • VIN: LRBFZNR40ND
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION
  • Summary: The collision warning system allows you to choose whether you want beeps or just seat vibration. I always chose beeps. But the vehicle randomly switches out of this and goes to seat vibration without me doing anything. This has happened numerous times, and the first time contributed to me, backing into another vehicle. I asked, my service department to check it and of course nothing showed up because it happens randomly. Just yesterday as I was pulling into my garage I was waiting for it to beep and nothing. So I put it in park and checked the vehicle settings, and once again, it was not on beeps, although I had never taken it off. I’m disgusted with the safety feature that is not working.

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-06-07
  • VIN: LRBFZSR47ND
  • Components: SERVICE BRAKES
  • Summary: On Wednesday, 06/07/2023, my 2022 Buick Envision Avenir suddenly displayed a large number of error codes on the dashboard. I was able to quickly identify that the only operation of the vehicle that was impacted seemed to be the brakes as I had to exert a much larger effort to slow the vehicle than normal and it obviously took a much longer time to stop. I had the vehicle towed to Scranton Motors in Vernon CT and they have basically told me that they "can't replicate the problem" and that I should, "bring it back if it happens more consistently." As this is the brakes we are talking about, "happening more consistently " might end up in me not being able to bring it back due to a potentially fatal crash that may result from driving this vehicle for over an hour twice per day on my way to work. I have opened a case with Buick, and told the dealer that I do not feel comfortable picking up the vehicle at this point.

ENGINE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2022-11-05
  • VIN: LRBAZLR42ND
  • Components: ENGINE
  • Summary: This is my 2nd complaint regarding this car. On, 11/5/22, I was making a left hand turn on a highway, and heard a humming sound, that was elevating like the sound of an airplane. At first I thought it was coming from the music that was playing. I turned it down and the noise was still there. The screen then went black and had red writing on it. I have to have one set of gasses to drive and another pair to see up close. My GPS talks thru the screen and started talking, because I was turning, and I was unable to change glasses quickly enough to see what it said. I did report it to one of the owners of the dealership at the time, but received no answer back. when I went to have the oil changed recently and have the heated seat modules installed, I asked them to pull up the codes, to see if it would show what happened. The service guy told me that when that happened it was because the car had lost communication with the computer. He gave me a copy of the codes list, but I'm not sure if it is a complete list or not

ENGINE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2022-10-12
  • VIN: LRBAZLR42ND
  • Components: ENGINE
  • Summary: On 10/12/22 I was stopped at a red light. I was the first person in line at the red light, right at the entrance to the NYS Thruway. When the light turned green, my car locked up and I was unable to proceed. People were honking at me but the car would not go out of park. Some road construction workers ran over to the car to see if they could push it out of traffic. I kept trying to turn it off and restart it. Finally, after many attempts it finally went into drive. The light was now red again, but the construction workers, held up oncoming traffic and told me to just go. I was on the same road as the the dealership where I leased it, so I called them, told them what happened and that I was on my way there. I had also received a message from Buick at the same time, saying it detected an engine/transmission problem with my car. The dealership told me not to bring it in, but I took it there anyway. I had lost my husband a month earlier, so I had no one to call at home to come get me. They kept it for a week, and said they couldn't find anything wrong, so had me pick the car up. They also said that someone had been driving it everyday, checking it, but you can see from the incident report, that they drove it a total of 3 miles. also, on the report that they put that I had said the check engine light was on. That is not true. I never told them that.

  • Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
  • Summary: Car applied emergency braking when it should not have (and could have caused an accident)! Details: Driving approx 20 mph in traffic on highway in Houston. Approx 3-4 car lengths behind vehicle in front of me. There were cars to the left and right of us, .. they were staying within their lanes.

Negative 2022 Buick Envision car reviews

  1. Turner Waters 2024-09-12

    I purchased this car brand new six months ago and have been the sole owner since. Despite the low mileage of 30 miles at the time of purchase, the check engine light has illuminated on three separate occasions. The first instance was due to a fuel-related issue, which the company is actively working to resolve. Recently, the battery died and required a tow to the dealership. Although the battery was replaced, the check engine light remains on, rendering the auto start feature unusable. Despite the inconvenience of a cold car on a 6° day, I remain confident in the quality of this vehicle and trust that the dealership will resolve the issue promptly.

  2. Ross Johnson 2024-08-22

    I've been to the dealer 5 times now and it turns out that I haven't been stepping on the brake every time I shift from reverse to drive. It's frustrating, but I'm going to trade it off.

  3. Jamaal Wiza 2024-08-12

    I recently upgraded from an 18 grand Cherokee with 100k miles to a 22 envision aviner with only 12k miles. The car has a bumper to bumper warranty and a 7 100k warranty. The body has excellent fit and finish, making it a very nice car. However, I have experienced some issues with the transmission, as it is fair at best and I struggle to find gears. While the car is designed to keep noise out with a quiet interior, I have noticed some rattling and the panoramic roof can be quite noisy. Unfortunately, GM has been unhelpful in resolving these issues, claiming that it is my problem and my fault. Despite this, I am still looking forward to finding a solution and enjoying my new car. In the meantime, I have decided to purchase a cash car and return this one to the bank.

  4. Vance Cormier 2024-05-10

    This is my first time buying a brand new vehicle and unfortunately, I'm feeling quite disappointed. I recently purchased a 2021 Buick Envision and while it's certainly a beautiful car, I've noticed some issues with the acceleration. It's difficult to predict whether it will hesitate or accelerate too quickly. As a grandmother who frequently drives with her grandchildren, this is a concerning issue. I want to feel safe on the road and not worry about potential accidents. I've read that others have experienced similar problems and I'm hoping that a solution can be found soon. Overall, I was hoping for a more dependable vehicle that I could count on for the long haul. I would rate it 3 stars at this point.

  5. Cody Rowe 2024-05-01

    I'm glad you're enjoying the look and ride of the vehicle! However, it seems like there may be an issue with the doors as mud and snow collect in the one inch gap underneath. It can be quite a hassle to wash them out by hand every time. Have you considered bringing this up with the manufacturer or a mechanic to see if there's a solution?

Positive 2022 Buick Envision car reviews

  1. Joe Hackett 2024-11-17

    Power, good handling especially for an SUV, and all the comfort and convenience options you could ever want. :)

  2. Carmine Schmidt 2024-10-21

    I really enjoyed the white on parchment Envision Avenir! I was particularly impressed with all the advanced technology, including the 10.2 inch screen that was angled towards the driver, the rearview mirror that could become a video display, and the active cruise control and other hi-tech safety features that came as standard. As a GM stockholder, I was proud of the fit and finish. However, there were two issues that caused me to opt for a more expensive CUV. Firstly, the short front seats did not provide the thigh support I needed for my long trips to the Hamptons. Secondly, the dealers were not aware that the rear seats could not be lowered from the hatch area, which was a dealbreaker for me.

    Hi there! I noticed that this is your third Buick, that's great! I hope you're enjoying it. I understand that you needed a smaller vehicle now that you're empty nesters. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

    I'm so glad to hear that you and your wife found a car that you both love! The 2022 Envision AWD sounds like a great choice, with its smooth ride, lack of road noise, and beautiful interior. It's also great to hear that it's been reliable and low maintenance so far. Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us!

    Have a great 2021! The options for the price are excellent, the ride is super smooth, and it gets lots of looks.
