General Motors has just released the first teaser image of the upcoming three-row Buick Envision Plus for China, as a prelude to the imminent reveal of Buick’s new crossover. Along with the first official image, the automaker announced that the seven-seat variant of the Envision will make its world debut on April 18th, on the eve of the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, as GM Authority exclusively announced last week.
The upcoming Buick Envision Plus is exactly the same model that was leaked in early March, also known as the Envision GX. It will feature a specific designation for China just like the regular version of the second-generation compact crossover, marketed as the Envision S in the Asian country. As such, GM confirms the nomenclature variation that we anticipated in our previous report.
Although there are no official details in this regard, the name designations of the new Chinese-market Buick Envision are related to an important difference in the brand’s portfolio in that country with respect to North America. In China, the refreshed first-generation Envision coexists with the latest model, creating a compact-size utility family with three members: Envision, Envision S, and Envision Plus.
“The Envision Plus is another strategic product from Buick in a very popular and growing segment,” said Executive Director of Buick Sales and Marketing at SAIC-GM, Molly Peck, in a statement. “It will join the Envision and Envision S to further strengthen Buick’s presence in premium SUVs through its impressive styling, segment-leading functionality and enhanced connectivity that will meet local consumers’ diverse needs,” she added.
The teaser image for the Buick Envision Plus shows part of the crossover’s silhouette mounted on an extended variant of the E2 platform, which boasts a 111.5-inch wheelbase for supporting an additional row of seats. In addition, it features the same signature front and rear lighting design as well as the Avenir-exclusive Merlot Wine paint color.
The new Buick Envision Plus will be revealed later this month and will be on display for the first time from April 21st to the 28th during the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show. It is also expected to be introduced in North America sometime this year, expanding the Tri-Shield brand’s strong utility portfolio in one of the fastest growing segments of the premium vehicle market.

Made in China thanks to unions and democrats.
China has nothing to do with Unions– they want members–or Democrats since Trump failed to stop GM from importing first generation Envision. You listen to headlines, probably Fox, without learning digging deeper into facts.
Envision GX is rebirth of the station wagon more than a Highlander rival. This could easily be a gen 2 TourX and even shares the platform.
I thought GM was cutting back on platforms a n.v d going fully modular with the kits? I don’t blame then for waiting–current factories are tooled, R&D paid for, product good–but it’s still a change in plans.
With gas prices climbing my best is we get more than just Encore GEM vehicles. GM due to China will always have a surplus of platform with some like Omega never really used.
Envision was conceived during the obama regime. He knew it would be MIC and did nothing to stop it.

Richard Nixon went to China,
and the U.S. always had a trade surplus until the Ronald Reagan administration.
Richard Nixon didn’t go to China to make America dependent on it, he went to China to make China less dependent on socialism. It worked.
Nixon didn’t go to China to make us dependent on them, he went there to make China less dependent on Russia.
American made?
It’s racist to have White people in America make things. Doncha know?
I don’t have a problem buying cheap crap from China, but when they start making things this good, we should be scared for our country’s future…
Remember the sheeps said the exact same thing to Japanese cars in the 1970s and Korean cars in the 1990s?
i’d bet the corporate boardrooms at the big three reacted with the same hubris and arrogance in both instances.
Liberals think China has equality and freedom and respect for the patent system.
The big picture is, why would the Chinese need a 3 row car? The last time I heard they were limited to 1 male child per couple.
Probably to take them to the Soylent Green factory.
F Chinese Buicks F MLB Baseball, anything else?
Chinese Buick laughs at your opinion with 80% global sales…
Lol nothing is more unpatriotic than snowflakes who are busy boycotting American brands all day while driving US-made Japanese brand cars and feeling proud of it.
Who gives a rats about the Envision… GM keeps posting this Chinese made propaganda hoping some of the sheple on this thread will cave and buy it… If you don’t buy one…you could end up like a Uighur… or a Biden family member.
Mick1, I remember the old saying Chevrolet, Baseball, and apple pie… Well, we still have 1 left…
