The GM Authority Take

The Envision is perfectly positioned to be a best-seller in the premium compact front-drive crossover segment, where it competes very favorably against the likes of the Lexus NX, Lincoln MKC and Acura RDX. However, we believe that the Envision’s overall sales potential is limited by limited available capacity at the GM China factory where it is currently assembled.

As such, we believe that Buick can sell more units of the Envision but won’t be able to do so in the near future, since any additional sales volume would require expanding the available production capacity at the Dung Yue Motors plant (where the Envision is currently built for all markets in which it is sold) or by allocating production capacity at a plant within GM North America, where the vehicle could be assembled for the North American market.

  1. And GM said this would be a niche vehicle only affordable through China production.
    Envision should be built stateside. Lacrosse should be assn import considering that it is outsold by Impala.
