Already in its 4th model year but still somewhat of an unknown commodity in the premium compact SUV segment, the 2019 Envision has been thoroughly refreshed and better positioned to take on the likes of the Acura RDX and Lincoln MKC. Adopting the brand’s signature grille replete with resculpted fascias and new wheel designs visually evolves the Envision into a more recognizable Buick. The base powertrain continues to be the pairing of a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and 6-speed automatic transmission in either front- or all-wheel drive. But those with a little more lightning in their veins will appreciate the 2.0-liter turbo – now mated to a new 9-speed automatic transmission with a sizeable increase in torque output from 260 pound-feet to 295.
