The 2021 Buick Envision will be available in four trim levels. From base to fully loaded, these include: Envision (base), Preferred, Essence, and Avenir. Front-wheel drive will be standard on all models, while all-wheel drive will be available on all except for the base trim. When the model launches in early 2021, dealers will be focused on ordering the Preferred, Essence and Avenir trims. Pricing for the newest Buick CUV is expected to start in the vicinity of $34,000 USD for the U.S. market.
The all-new, 2021 Buick Envision rides on the GM E2 platform shared most directly with the first-generation Cadillac XT4. Power will come from the turbocharged 2.0L I-4 LSY engine making 230 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The GM nine-speed automatic transmission will be responsible for swapping the cogs.
GM has confirmed that the vehicle will be assembled at the Jinqiao plant in Shanghai, China for the Chinese domestic market, as well as for export to North America.

Designed to the exact specifications of Chairman Xi of the People’s Republic of China as whatever Xi wants, Xi gets as essentially the Emperor of China.
This to me is one of the best looking CUV models out and not at GM.
GM really nailed the styling on this one.
A CUV is one of the most difficult things to design and make it original and nice looking.
I agree that’s it’s much improved and quite handsome inside and out for an SUV/CUV. Unfortunately its still Made in China and what’s equally bad is that its a great American brand that’s now pretty much been transitioned over to the Chinese. It’s been happening slowly so most Americans haven’t noticed but it’s no less sad. The brand our grandfathers drove and loved is now Chinese and built in a Communist nation that is increasingly authoritarian. No matter how improved the Envision might be, I’ll still encourage anyone I know to buy a American made Honda over this.
Honestly there’s just not much good news at GM these days. I wish I didn’t care so much. It’s heartbreaking to watch.
The harsh reality is this. No China there would be no Buick today, Nothing,!
I am not a pro China guy by any means but Buick would have gone out with the other divisions without China,.
Also it is not like GM is exporting the entire line. They import a small number of Envisions that would not be built here other wise.
Also I somehow expect this may be replaced with one of the coming EV products and will be built here in the near future so GM may not have wanted to invest much in building. A short term model here for only a couple years at 49,000 units per year.
I am all for bringing back all we can or should from China but I am not under any illusion that some things will not return. When prices go up people will not buy so some items will have to be imported due to price.
Everyone hates Walmart and imports but everyone shops there.
I am more focused on our return of our medical drugs to this country. We should never have left these leave our control.
The bottom line was that China embraced Buick long ago and still prize it while Americans turned against it back in the 90’s. If not for the China sales there was no need to keep Buick around.
General Motors should try advertising what they offer for sale. General Motors should also hold their fanchisees responsible for carrying an inventory of Buicks if they want to be Buick dealers.
I see more ads for Hyundai, Subaru, KIA, and Nissan than I do for Buick.
Not just made in China. GM has an incredibly bad record when it comes to supporting their imports, whether they be captive imports from their days of owning Opel and Vauxhall, but other cars they buy from other makers and put a badge on.
Give it two or three years. GM will tire of the Chinese cars, and move on to something else. Service will be hard to come by, and the parts supplies will dry up, seemingly overnight.
Well the 2016 Buick Envision Prem l are still on the road and can purchased used. We would purchase another one if looking at compact SUV as it is the best one for content and price.
I never shop at Walmart. I will never buy a CCP vehicle.
I have to say the last few new SUV/CUV designs GM has been releasing, they are big improvements from ten years ago. I think GM really learned there lesson from the Silverado interior complaints that the interior may be more important than the exterior. This is a really nice looking vehicle.
Honesty I’m loving GM’s cuv designs lately. The Traverse looks great, the Enclave has grown on me, the Acadia was a massive improvement, the Blazer was an absolute home run (style wise, not considering the name) and now the Envision looks great too.
This is the type of vehicle General Motors Holden Australia needed about ten years ago. Build it so it takes a 4 cylinder turbo/supercharged engine, a 6 cylinder then a 6.2litre V8 for the rev heads and Holden would have had a genuine competitor for Ford’s Territory. If only someone had the vision!
More SAIC GM, DONG YUE, CHINA crap imported back to the US.
I suggest you return your smartphone and computers. Almost all are made in China.
We don’t want them made in China. I write letters. How about you supporting other Americans? Or is it only about you?
It looks great, why not build this in Canada alongside the Equinox?
How about building in the USA?
I hope they keep the sliding and reclining rear seat as it makes the rear so much more comfortable. The reckling seats in their upright position and sliding them forward to fill the footwell area is great for a our dogs as they can only fall off the seat and don’t need the seat backs . This gives more rear cargo than the EPA suggests.
