Images of the mildly updated, Chinese-market 2020 Buick Envision have surfaced online ahead of the vehicle’s official debut.
While the North American-spec Buick Envision was updated for the 2019 model year, the Chinese-market vehicle is getting a refresh for 2020 with updated front and rear fascias, new LED headlights and different taillights, among other small changes. It’s not yet clear if this slightly reworked version of the compact Buick crossover will find its way to North America.
According to Chinese publication Autohome, these updates have also made the car slightly longer at 184.8 inches (4,694 mm) and also a bit taller, with the tallest part of the crossover now measuring in at 72.4 inches (1,839 mm). We should note the wheelbase is the same 108.2 inches (2,750 mm) and it rides on the same front-wheel-drive-based GM D2 platform as the 2019 model-year vehicle.
Unfortunately, images of the vehicle’s interior have yet to leak, so it’s unclear what kind of updates General Motors‘ Chinese subsidiary, GM-SAIC, has applied—if any.
Under the hood of the Chinese-market 2020 Buick Envision is GM’s turbocharged 1.5-liter LFV four-cylinder engine, which is good for 169 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. Unlike the six- and nine-speed automatic transmissions available in the 2019 model-year Buick Envision for North America, this Chinese model uses a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. As you may recall, GM offers a 2.5-liter LCV four-cylinder engine in the North American Envision, along with an optional turbocharged 2.0-liter LTG four-cylinder. The 2.5-liter engine is paired with the six-speed auto, while the 2.0-liter turbo links up with the nine-speed auto.
Buick sales are down 20.63% in China in the first nine months of 2019, so GM will need to keep putting out updated versions of its more popular models, such as the Envision, in order to turn things around in the country. GM sales in China overall were also down year-over-year in Q3, with sales dipping 18 percent to 689,531 units, as per our sales report.

Ugly grill treatment.
Ugly headlight treatment.
Ugly Chinese production treatment…
Yeah. Not impressed with the Chinese-originated designs.
Asymetric design language is new trend in GM. Somebody lost its mind. It is ugly like new Silverado HD.
Looks like an even bigger POS than the current model.
I don’t see much change at first glance.
This new grill and front fascia is a big improvement over the previous styling.
The previous front end looked too round, with a generic bland looking grill.
You know what sucks is all those recalls coming out of vehicles made in USA, Canada and Mexico. So many engine, transmission… problems too many to list and why??? Well I say that’s because it’s made in USA Canada and Mexico where quality control means nothing.
IN China this envision as an example did not get not 1 recall. Very reliable vehicle and as far as looks go I find it not bad looking at all infact it’s quite handsome.
Look I get it all u haters want it made here where once the vehicles are assembled the consumer needs to take it back to dealer to fix boat loads of problems and recalls. I don’t want to get in why vehicles are that are made here are sooo unreliable because it deals with our ways of “I don’t give a sh$t attitude” while working and oh let’s go on strike because we need more money and more benefits and more and more and more. And the vehicles are still being made like crap.
So keep on buying your problem recalled infested north American Mexican cars and the intelligent people buy reliable solid made in China vehicles like the volvos and buicks.

This made in China Envision as an example did not get not 1 recall. Look at the Volvos they too are Very reliable vehicles and are made in China. The Envision is solid and as far as looks go I find it not bad looking at all infact it’s quite handsome.
Look I get it all u haters want it made here where once the vehicles are assembled the consumer needs to take it back to dealer to fix boat loads of problems and recalls. I personally do not find it fun when a vehicle bought brand new is in the shop getting fixed and the consumer is left with an unreliable vehicle.

Keep an opened mind and stop the hate because it makes u look narrow minded and unintelligent. Everyone is entitled to their own views and opinions but saying that u hate this or that because it’s made in China just sounds DUM.
With sales dropping in China like a rock (from 800,000 to just over 600,000 in two years) and in Amerca (from 220,000 to 200,000) GM is taking on water in a division that was saved from overseas sales. Now being forced to discontinue all cars in America due to no sales at all (just over 10,000 cars in 2019) Buick is down to four SUVs and that is it in the USA, soon to be five. I don’t see how GM will be able to justify Buick if sales fall below 400,000 in the next few years in China, and below 100,000 in the USA. It will suffer the fate of Saab, Hummer, and Pontiac if the sales keep tanking as they are right now.
