2021 Buick Envision Suspension Configuration Uncovered: Exclusive
Sponsored Links
GM announced the all-new 2021 Buick Envision in May as a completely overhauled model. Besides revealing that the 2021 Envision will be powered by a turbocharged 2.0L engine mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission, Buick didn’t provide any other details about the all-new crossover’s specifications at the time of the announcement. Luckily, GM Authority has learned a few new details about the redesigned crossover’s suspension.
When it launches in the U.S. in the first half of the 2021 calendar year, all 2021 Buick Envision models will come standard with a fully-independent suspension, comprised of a MacPherson strut configuration in the front and a five-link, coil spring setup at the rear. Passive dampers will be standard at all four corners.
But that’s not all. GM Authority has also learned that Continuously Variable Dampers will be offered on the range-topping Avenir trim.
Otherwise known as Continuous Damping Control or Continuous Variable Real-Time Damping, Continuously Variable Dampers is a type of active suspension technology that aims to deliver more premium ride qualities and better vehicle control. It can be thought of as a “light” version of GM’s world-renowned Magnetic Ride Control technology.
The all-new 2021 Buick Envision represents the second generation for the Envision nameplate. The vehicle will slot between the Buick Enclave and Buick Encore / Encore GX in the brand’s lineup, and it will be called the Envision S in China. Production is set to take place at the Jinqiao plant in Shanghai, China. The Envision Avenir will be the top trim level, and about a year after launch, the new Envision will be joined by a three-row model called the Envision GX.
Those paying particularly close attention might notice that the new Envision will have a suspension setup identical to that of the Cadillac XT4, with which it shares its E2 platform. Other GM models that also use the E2 architecture include the sixth-gen Buick Regal (2018 – 2020) and ninth-generation Chevrolet Malibu (2016 – present).
We’ll have more details regarding the new 2021 Buick Envision soon, so be sure to subscribe to GM Authority for more Buick Envision news, Buick news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Thank you for the information, Alex! The second-generation Buick Envision seems like an impressive vehicle!
Build them somewhere else..HOWEVER..My 2017 Envision-premium2-of the many cars I’ve owned, is the best made vehicle I’ve ever had. Not a single problem, ever, since delivery. Hmm, isn’t that wonderful?
These are the features of the completely redesigned 2021 Buick Envision that the home market in China expects from a near-luxury vehicle and why we’re getting it as we should thank China’s Chairman Xi and not General Motors CEO Mary Barra.
I’m sure you heard that directly from China’s Chairman.
Buick is loading up a lot of value now into the new Envision especially into the Avenir and I think it shows it intends to take the game to the competition. I can’t wait for the unveiling here in the US and for it to reach dealer show rooms.
My old man owns a China built Envision. Best built vehicle he has ever owned.

NO GM Ms MaryB reaction for last week’s take over of Hong Kong Democracy??? NO reaction for China murdering 30 Indian Troops last month on their Border & 30,000 Indian Troops being massed on the border creating serious tension??? NO reaction of the COVID19 WHO coordinated cover up late last year leading to countless additional death & destruction due to delay??? Yep keep producing & buy them “made in China” Buicks GM & America. Just be FULLY aware of your Chinese “friends” as you throw morality under the CUV for your Globalist mantra.
