The first units of the all-new, second-generation 2021 Buick Envision are now arriving at ports, GM Authority has learned. As such, the vehicle will soon become available at retail.
The next-gen 2021 Buick Envision continues to be offered as a compact four-door crossover utility vehicle (CUV), slotting above the smaller Buick Encore GX and Buick Encore, as well as below the larger Buick Enclave with regard to the Tri-Shield brand’s model lineup. Notably, the new Envision will offer Buick’s popular high-end Avenir trim level, a first for the nameplate.
Outside, the 2021 Buick Envision features a lower, wider stance, with styling cues pulled from the Buick Enspire concept that debuted in 2018. The cabin space features an available 10-inch touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a number of built-in apps, including Pandora, Amazon Alexa, and Fox Sports. Safety technology features include standouts like Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Forward Collision Alert.
Motivation is sourced from the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gas engine, which produces 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Output is routed through a nine-speed automatic transmission, with FWD equipped as standard, and AWD offered as an available option on all trim levels with the exception of the base model. The range-topping Avenir trim offers an exclusive twin-clutch AWD system.
According to the EPA, the 2021 Buick Envision is rated at 24 mpg in the city, 31 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined when equipped with FWD. Add in the optional AWD system, and the EPA estimates drop to 22 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined.
Under the skin, the 2021 Buick Envision rides on GM’s E2 platform, the same bones as the Cadillac XT4. Production takes place at the GM China (SAIC) Jinqiao plant in Shanghai, China.

This will sell well in Rangoon!
Shockandawe
Rangoon Burma is now called Yangoon Myanmar. Buick doesn’t sell vehicles there.
Are you getting city names from a Chinese take out menu?
Takeout menu from Joe “where are my shoes” Biden.

In 39 days he will be President Joe “where are my shoes” Biden.
President Elect. Put some respect on it.
Dont buy china cars
but nobody listens!
Keep it boys!
Beautiful cars . I hope the price is reasonable. Why not put this enjine in the encore series?
Credit to GM’s Chinese workers…they build great vehicles!
Yes China is a great place to build cars for GM. To hell with America.
I bought a 2016 new without knowing it was built in China.. I will never buy another.
I would not buy a car built in China. But I do know from my many trips to China that Buick is considered a prestigious brand there, and is one of the few non-indigenous brands that does well there.
Beijing Biden Chinese are good people, Chinese Buicks are good cars. Why spend more on an XT4 that doesn’t look as good?
Such a good looking vehicle.
Why does it have to be made in China? (this is a rhetorical question)
On paper it makes excellent sense because about a million Buicks are made and sold there. Even Caddy CT6 moved 22k in China in which GM considered importing it here. With that I wish the Envision was made in KC next to XT4 and Malibu..
m
180,000 a year sold in China
33,000 a year sold in the U.S.
When it was first announced that the Envision will be made in China, GM said they would need to sell 50,000 a year in North America to justify the cost of setting up a second assembly plant.
I said it was a rhetorical question.
Oh yeah, count me in to buying a Chinese Communist Government produced car.
Are you kidding? I hope patriotic Americans will not buy any of these Chicom vehicles.
GM is just giving the middle finger to the USA.
That’s right I will never look at Buick again to many vehicle lines made in foreign country’s. Also the Buick/GMC dealer near me advertises be American by American. They must have forgot that most of there vehicles are foreign made.
Why are you Trumpster still stuck up the it’s over Trump’s butt,must be hard to see from there!!
good looking car. how are these selling in china?
I bought a 2020 Invision before I realized it was built in China. Nice quality built vehicle BUT, this is my first and my last Buick ever as long as they are produced in China. I guess I am stuck for awhile until I am ready to trade again. I will look closer at the window sticker THE next time.
I hope this does for Buick what the new Trailblazer is doing for Chevy. I think the new Encore GX is selling well too, but Buick really needs a huge homerun.
This is a nice looking crossover , better than the last model . First , did they spray inside all of them with bleach to kill the Covid . The Chinese give the planet a virus that’s killing people because someone wanted a bat for dinner, if you can believe that story . And now we are going to buy cars from them . Not in my driveway .

Actually China doesn’t exist. Its an elaborate conspiracy. Originally created to keep ships from sailing off the edge of the earth, and perpetuated to justify a bloated military budget.
The Envision is made by aliens in their Area 51 workshop.
Will never buy chinese vehecle.
Almost got one a few years ago until I found out that it was made in China. I laughed (should have cried) and walked away!
27 million new passenger cars per year are being sold in China, 17 million in North America.
Still disproportionate, since China has four times as much people living within its borders than USA.
And USA, while representing just under 5% of the world’s population, counts for nearly 19% of all Corona deaths worldwide.
Get real, and sober up.
PS: My first thought on seeing this car is: this is an Opel! Or rather would have been if Opel/Vauxhall with all GM factories had not been sold to PSA in 2027.
I am sure glad no one here shops at Walmart or Cosco or owns a computer or cell phone from China 😉
I am no fan of China but I love how everyone complains about it but few actually are willing to pay full price for American made.
I used to be able to get American brake rotors but no more because people refused to pay the price.
Dont blame the consumer. it was your pocket filling corrupt Republican and Conservative politicians who were the corporate pawns who gave us trade agreements. Eliminating our jobs and decimating our economic tax bases. Deficit, deficit it’s the greedy peons fault. What a crock. Bunch of sheep.
It’s the 2.0T liter that will kill the sales. When will GM learn?
We don’t have much choice when buying a computer or phone…but.. we still have a choice when it comes to purchasing cars. I will never buy a chinese car.
Never say never!
In 5 years you might regret having said that.
