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.

Build quality wasn’t the concern. I don’t think anyone thought parts were going to fall off as it went down the road. I would, however, wonder what cancerous chemicals might be leeching out of the interior. With the Chinese, there is no telling. The bigger concern though was that Mary Barra and Mark Reuss are thanking the American taxpayers who lost over $11 billion on GM by outsourcing production to communist China. It should be an outrage to any American and our president should be calling GM’s management out for such shameless actions. After all, he sold the American taxpayers on the notion of bailing out GM under the pretense it would save American jobs. Although the current president is obviously never going to do that, the marketplace can send GM a message by refusing to support them in this endeavor and letting the dowdy Envasion and all the Chinese Cadillacs sit on dealers’ lots.
I personally would not buy one and would ridicule anyone that did but it isn’t because I think it’s a terrible product. Rather it’s a product that’s terrible for America and one that deserves to be scorned for a multitude of reasons.
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.
