2023 Buick Envision Gets New White Frost Tricoat Color: First Look

The 2023 Buick Envision adds two new exterior colors to its palette: Moonstone Gray Metallic and White Frost Tricoat. Here’s our first look at the new White hue.

Assigned RPO code GE8 and touch-up paint code WA-472B, White Frost Tricoat is one of seven exterior colors offered on the premium compact crossover, which include:

  • Cinnabar Metallic
  • Ebony Twilight Metallic
  • Rich Garnet Metallic
  • Sapphire Metallic
  • Summit White
  • White Frost Tricoat (new for 2023)
  • Moonstone Gray Metallic (new for 2023)

The White Frost Tricoat color is an extra-cost option that adds an additional $1,095 on Preferred and Essence trim levels and $600 on the Avenir trim level. It can be combined with all interior colorways.

For reference, here are the two available interior colorways offered on the 2023 Envision:

  • Ebony seats with Ebony interior accents
  • Whisper Beige seats with Ebony interior accents

The 2023 Buick Envision brings minor changes over the preceding 2022 model year, dropping the Satin Steel Metallic and Burnished Bronze Metallic paint colors and adding new standard equipment to the Avenir trim level.

The 2023 Buick Envision continues to ride on the GM E2 platform and be powered by the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine. Peak output is rated at 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The four-cylinder is paired with the GM nine-speed automatic transmission, which sends power to either the front wheels as standard, or all four wheels as an available option.

Recently the Buick Envision was named among best vehicles to fit three child car seats. Per Consumer Reports, the Buick Envision is one of 33 models identified as the best for fitting three child seats across the second row.

Production of the 2023 Buick Envision began at the GM Jinqiao plant in Beijing, China, on August 1st, 2022. The online configurator tool is now live for the 2023 Envision.

  1. I absolutely HATE those sparkly white paint colours! Makes a car look cheap.

    1. There are six other choices from which you can choose if you don’t like it. Personally, I’m all for as many color CHOICES as possible, even though most of which I probably wouldn’t choose. I happen to think pearlescent tri-coat white (or whatever name GM has used for it over the years) has continued to be a great color choice for any Buick, but that of course is only my opinion.

  2. I miss the conventional car, four-door sedan, two door, coupe, station wagon. I especially miss the old personal cars, Cadillac, Eldorado, Buick, Riviera, Oldsmobile, Toronado, and cutlass supreme, ETC. People buy crossovers and SUVs because they are built the race sedans were built in the 30s TALL.

  3. Just another avenue to raise the profits when selling a vehicle. But really, a $1,095 charge. As long as customer will pay these ridiculous addons and upgrades, GM will keep coming up with ways to line the company purse.
