As GM Authority has detailed in the past, General Motors is developing a new three-row-variant of the Buick Envision crossover dubbed the Buick Envision GX. Now, new spy photos have caught the upcoming Envision GX with very little front and rear camouflage, providing us with our best look yet at the fresh CUV.

In terms of styling, the new Buick Envision GX bears a striking resemblance to the “standard” second-generation Buick Envision introduced for the 2021 model year. Up front, we spot familiar horizontal headlamps with checkmark lighting signatures along the lower portion of the housing. The grille insert is also familiar, while lower in the front bumper corners, we see similar intake-style divots bookending a rectangular lower intake section.

The rear end is also familiar, but definitely revised over the “standard” Envision, with rounder tail lamps connected by a single chrome trim line across the hatch. Up top, there’s a spoiler element continuing the roofline, while down below, there are two integrated exhaust outlets ringed by further polished trim.
As GM Authority was the first to report, the upcoming 2022 Buick Envision GX is assigned vehicle program code E2YB, which indicates the vehicle platform (GM E2), the vehicle’s larger size and utility vehicle classification (Y), and the Buick branding (B).
Although the Envision GX will be built on the same E2 platform and sport the same 2,779 mm (109.4-inch) wheelbase as the “standard” Envision, the GX model will also come with three rows of seating (as opposed to the two rows in the “standard” Envision) thanks to a more upright roof treatment and longer rear overhang.
Under the hood, the Buick Envision GX will feature the same turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gas engine as the “standard” Envision, once again producing 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Output will be routed through the GM nine-speed automatic transmission, with FWD offered as standard, and AWD an available option.
The Buick Envision GX name will follow the naming conventions established by the Buick Encore and Encore GX, effectively creating a family of Envision vehicles that includes the “standard” Envision and a larger, premium GX model variant.
The 2022 Buick Envision GX will launch later this year for the 2022 model year, and will be sold in both North America and China.

Another fwd bs from Gm.
You’re italian can we ship you back
Uh huh that’s it. Looking good too.
From Biden’s buddies in China!
You forgot machete Mary too.
China’s president had dinner with tRump at tRump’s home, NOT President Biden’s.
The 3 row fwd compact /mid size / full size cross over is s very very crowded segment . now if Buick had one on the Tahoe not all of us like 4cy turbos
Don’t forget to add the V6 that every other midsize GM crossover has…. wouldn’t want to forget that.
Every other midsize GM crossover! You mean the Blazer, XT5 and Acadia as an option? The Traverse, XT6 and Enclave are large full size crossovers so what are “all these” mid size crossovers your speaking of?
Let me guess, made in CHINA..
Top trim: “Mao Special Edition”. Comes with Little Red Book instead of owner’s manual.
Excellent!!!
Could this be the updated Enclave?
Maybe the impromptu Acadia replacement if the current version will grow back to full-size.
No but it is essentially the Chinese-market Enclave with the Envision front-end.
One has to imagine that if there’s yet another Buick Envision, the vehicle would be an electric variant replacement unless it’s for China’s home market and possibly a hybrid configuration is used.
If I woke up from a coma and saw both rear ends, I would assume the Envision GX is the previous gen and the Envision is the new gen. I don’t understand why they’re making it look so much less modern.
At this point they should really give up with Buick. I love it’s history and it’s cars from the 60s and below but now they just need to know when to stop and focus on the other money makers like Chevy and GMC and more of their show cars like Cadillac. They have too many brands and the only place where Buick is really having success is China. Sure they still sell over here but they have a older age group which will not last forever and the younger generation will look at Buick and think I don’t want grandpa’s car. They would really have to turn their image around and do something crazy but that seems highly unlikely. I hope this SUV is a major improvement with major innovation but it seems like it’s just going to be another Buick.
I sell Buick and last year I said the exact same thing. Now, with the release of the Encore GX, the new Envision, and now this up and coming Envision GX, I can tell you that the people who are coming in and taking a look and test driving are definitely younger. I think they may have a good shot at staying relevant. Especially if they move towards electric.
Buick regardless is one of the lowest selling premium brands and people who buy electric cars are usually environmentally conscious and Buick has the worst reputation out of every single brand for environmental friendliness. Just go ask anyone in Flint who all have lead poisoning. They just need to be put in the past and leave everything to GMC and Chevy and invest more money into those brands. Buick is in the same position as Mercury was. Long lasted legendary brand, same segments, and the vehicles were basically identical to other Fords just as Buicks are now to Chevys. We might go into a even worse recession soon if COVID continues and I guarantee Buick is going to be the first brands in America to go besides maybe Chrysler but at this point it’s Chrysler’s fault for only having really only one model and a really outdated large sedan.
Not quite… Buick is still very successful in the states (Many brands sell less volume, and at less profit). Also, my wife just bought her first Buick at 34. It’s been a massive hit with all our friends (people who generally wouldn’t buy a Buick), and pretty much everyone understands that the “Buicks are for olds” is an outdated stereotype that mostly lives in the minds of bloggers and “enthusiasts”.
Also, anyone who thinks this won’t sell (and, futhermore, that most of the buying populace even CARES where it is made) is simply out of touch with the reality of the marketplace.
