If build quality was a concern regarding General Motors’ first Chinese-assembled vehicle sold in the United States, you can squash those fears. The 2017 Buick Envision AWD has earned a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association.
The 2017 Envision earned its high marks for a laundry list of passive and active safety features including five cameras and 13 radar and ultrasonic sensors. Forward Collision Alert and Forward Automatic Braking systems are also available with the 2017 Envision.
“Safety, quality and craftsmanship are designed into every Buick,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick Sales, Service and Marketing. “Earning top ratings from some of the industry’s most important safety organizations validates not only the excellence of the Envision, but further builds the Buick brand’s reputation as a leader in safety and quality, two attributes high on every shopper’s list.”
The 2017 Buick Envision also aced the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s testing earlier this year. The IIHS awarded Buick’s latest crossover a Top Safety Pick+ accolade.

Speaking of Buick, I just saw this – the ‘starlet’ of last year’s Super Bowl Cadcada commercial doing a ‘sausage’ advert for Carl’s Jr — banned, apparently. And produced under Carl’s Jr’s CEO, our new Sect’y of Labor, Andrew Puzder.
Keep up the good work! And stay classy, Buick!

I have owned six Buicks since 1975 and I have an antique one I have owned for 40 years as well. I love Buick’s. However: I will never purchase any Buick (or other vehicle) made in China until that country treats the United States as an equal partner -and- demonstrates their problems within manufacturing are under control. (Think contaminated pet food from melamine in wheat gluten.) They have a long way to go IMO.
