After five years on the market, the Buick Envision recently surpassed the one-million sales mark in China. To celebrate this important milestone, General Motors launched the 2020 Buick Envision Million Edition in the Asian country, a fully loaded, special-edition model with exclusive styling elements.
Unlike the standard version of the refreshed Envision, the Million Edition features darkened exterior trim that gives the crossover a sportier appearance. Specifically, the Envision Million Edition boasts a glossy black finish on the front grille, the window frames, the mirror caps, the roof rails and the alloy wheels, in addition to black decorative bumper moldings.
These small appearance changes create a greater visual impact and bring more personality to Buick’s compact crossover. It should be noted that the styling package on the Envision Million Edition is called “Million Memorial” and is offered exclusively with the new Meteorite Grey paint – which isn’t available in the U.S. and Canadian markets.
The 2020 Buick Envision Million Edition’s cabin builds on the high-end quality of the brand’s latest models and, for the first time, allows us to discover the changes found inside the refreshed model. The center stack hosts a new 10-inch screen with touch-sensitive buttons underneath it. Buick’s latest infotainment interface is on board, with redesigned high-resolution graphics.
In addition, the Envision’s list of technologies is complemented by a digital driver instrument panel on an eight-inch screen, high-contrast head-up display and the OnStar 4G LTE service that includes 100 free gigabytes of data every year.
While the 2020 Buick Envision Million Edition includes the highest equipment level for the nameplate, it receives the top powertrain choice as well. Called 28T, this turbocharged, 2.0-liter LTG four-cylinder engine develops 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, combined with the GM nine-speed automatic transmission. It’s also equipped with the company’s new intelligent all-wheel drivetrain.
Since its arrival in the Chinese market in October 2014, the Buick Envision has enjoyed a successful run so far with more than one million units sold. With the 2020 model-year update, the Envision introduces a round of significant changes to consolidate its position as the brand’s most popular utility vehicle, and in turn strengthen the competitiveness of Buick’s new SUV family in China.

Wow. That is really nice. I’m not normally into “blacked out” stuff or those types of things, but this looks super sharp. Maybe it’s about the specific color with the smoked look trim. They must bring that package to the USA! Can you say Envision Avenir??
My ‘17 Envision is simply the best vehicle I’ve even owned. For those of you who are down on the factory site, here’s a suggestion, try it. It’s beautiful, and those that disagree are being disingenuous or need corrective lenses. The performance is strong and tight, yes even for a Buick…hyperstrut tech is amazing. The interior is comfortable and elegant, problems…….ZERO, yes not a single problem. We know Buick is the most reliable American world brand, with beauty, performance, reliability and amazing dealers too. Just think of this…..America has conquered the world to the point we’re our oldest US brand is beloved in China. You ready for this….Mary Barra deserves to be on the GM Mount Rushmore along with Durant, Sloan, Kettering, etc.
We liked our 2016 Envision Pll but liked the look of 2018 Regak TourX more. The Regal is not as refined as the Envision with more vibrations though the gas pedal and steering wheel but rides nice and is quiet.
I agree with you, Dan. I’m not a “blacked out” guy, either, but this looks pretty good. I wonder if GM will continue to offer the Buick Envision in the USA? (P.S. – Dan, I think I read that you are a Buick salesmen. Do your supervisors give you advance information about future Buick products or do you wind up being the one to tell them what’s coming?)
@Christopher:
You are correct that I am in auto sales (fleet/internet department now), but it’s at a Volvo and Mazda store in southern California. I was with Buick (and Cadillac, GMC and Honda) for 12 years back in the mid-west where I’m from. I was with just Cadillac for an additional 1 1/2 years. But not with Buick now. But I do drive a Buick!! lol
I was disappointed when I went to trade my $45,000 2016 envision in and it only had 28,000 miles on it and was almost perfect condition a d it was only worth $19 000 I had 5 Buick a d will never have another one
@Jim mccauley:
Couple things. First, why bash Buick? Are they the only brand that loses value? No. Some of the highest drops in value are on MB, Lexus, Cadillac, BMW, etc. Normally, the higher the priced car, the higher the drop in value. Nobody is exempt.
Second, you didn’t pay $45,000 for the car. It may have “listed” for that, but nobody pays that. If you did, then I’m sorry. Chances are, the car sold for under $40G before state fees. Just take a look at my personal car: 2018 Encore that listed for $26,360. I paid $18,900 for the car. Huge difference. So when I’m told my car is now worth only $14,000 I can’t be upset because I didn’t pay $26,360. The drop in real value is actually not that bad. In your case, the car is getting a dealership (??) value of $19,000? So they will have it on the lot for around $24,000. If you wish to blame someone, blame the greedy dealers, not the brand!
Lastly, I don’t have access to Buick’s residual values, but a 4 year old car (any brand basically) would have around a 40% value after 4 years. Even if you use the starting price of $45G, that puts your car at 42.5% after 4 years. That is totally in line with any brand.
We traded our 2016 Envision Prem ll with pano roof and Drive Confidence on a Regal TourX and got $28,500 for it with 23K miles. We only paid $35,500 for it new. We also got $9,000 off on the TourX.
It looks really remarkable and masculine. At first glance I was not impressed. It has details that really stand out with its features. Thanks for the post.
My dad has a 2019. Its nice. The leg room could be a bit better though. I am 6 foot 5 and its ok to ride in. but not to own for a taller person.
