Certain 2023 Buick Envision configurations have received mildly revised fuel economy numbers, GM Authority has learned.
Going forward, the 2023 Buick Envision with the only available turbocharged 2.0L LSY gasoline engine and front-wheel-drive will have a fuel economy rating of 23 mpg city, 31 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined. This is down from the 2022 Envision’s rating of 24 mpg city, 31 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined.
| 2023 city/highway/combined | 2022 city/highway/combined | +/- 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L I4 FWD | 23/31/26 | 24/31/26 | -1/0/0 |
| 2.0L I4 AWD | 22/29/25 | 22/29/25 | 0/0/0 |
To be clear, the 2023 model year Buick Envision is not less efficient than the 2022 model year Envision, but has simply received a revised fuel economy rating from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It’s not clear why the EPA has applied a lower city MPG rating here, although the agency will sometimes adjust or alter its test procedures or the way it rates vehicles.
Production of the Buick Envision takes place at the GM Jinqiao plant in Beijing, China. This facility shifted to production of the 2023 model-year Envision on April 4th, 2022. It’s unclear when 2023 Envision units will begin arriving at dealerships in the United States.
The 2023 Buick Envision represents the third model year of the crossover’s second generation. GM has decided to drop the Satin Steel Metallic (paint code GIR) and Burnished Bronze Metallic (paint code GR8) exterior colors from the Envision order books for the 2023MY, both of which will likely be indirectly replaced by two new colors.
GM’s turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine, which is rated at 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, comes standard in the 2023 Buick Envision. The four-cylinder is paired with the GM nine-speed automatic transmission, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available for a price premium.
Pricing for the 2022 Buick Envision started at $32,695 for the entry-level Preferred trim level with FWD. Pricing for the 2023 Envision is not yet available.

I like how the previous generation Equinox, a much larger vehicle designed over 10 years ago, still beats the latest gen CUV’s in highway MPG…
Some vehicles get “lucky” in the EPA testing. The previous generation Equinox was one of them. Actual results may vary.
REALLY APPRECIATE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY, OF THE BUICK’S. REALLY LIKE THE STYLE OF THE 2022 CHEVROLET EQUINOXES.
Made in China garbage. Shame on Mary Barra corrupted management. She deserves jail
GM is out of its mind trying to sell commie crap in the U.S.
Build it in the U,
Build it in the usa. Get rid of the Engine On/Off feature. Caused me to have an accident! I hate it. It’s also dangerous. Just to save a cup of gas?
From the 2022 Buick Envision Owner’s Manual, there is an Auto-Stop Disable Switch in the console. This can be found on Page 202 on the manual. Sorry but the copy pasted here does not show the Switch button logo as shown in the manual. But here is the script:
“The automatic engine Stop/Start feature can be disabled and enabled by pressing “A”.
Auto Stop/Start is enabled each time you start the vehicle”
Anne O’Hear: I don’t drive an Envision, but I do have a Regal with this feature, and it gives me no problems. On occasion, I will lift my foot off of the brake without completely releasing the brake and then the engine restarts. Other times, if you are in a slow-moving line, coming to a stop and then creeping forward with the rest of the vehicles in line also disables this feature. But under most circumstances, when I am in traffic and the Auto Engine Stop/Start engages the vehicle has restarted before my foot engages with the accelerator pedal.
