GM is set to launch the Buick Envista crossover in North America, offering up a number of interesting configurations, including a new Sport Touring package that adds a hint of performance flavoring to the mix. Now, the upcoming Buick Envista ST has been spotted undergoing testing.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Buick Envista ST out in public. In fact, the new crossover was spotted last year in a shade of gray, and now, we’re checking it out in an eye-catching shade of red. This particular exterior paint option looks as though it’s Cinnabar Metallic (paint code GFM), although at this point, it’s difficult to say for sure exactly what color it is.
Nevertheless, this Buick Envista ST prototype still gives us a look at the Sport Touring package, which includes a variety of aesthetic upgrades for the crossover, such as:
- Dark finish mesh front grille with ST badge
- Alloy wheels with Dark finish
- Wheel arches with Dark finish
- Window trim with Dark Gloss finish
- Mirror caps with Dark Gloss finish
- Lower door trim with Dark finish
- Rear bumper trim with Dark finish
- Body-color door handles
- Alloy pedals
- ST badge on front seats
As we can see, the Sport Touring Package does well to up the crossover’s visual appeal, especially in combination with the red exterior paint. The Envista will also be available in North America in the range-topping Avenir trim level, which will add in components like body-color wheel arches, lower body trim, and mirror caps, per exclusive GM Authority coverage published previously.
Back in November of 2022, GM President Mark Reuss confirmed the Buick Envista’s imminent arrival for the North American market in a presentation given at the GM Investor Day event. The Envista is already in production in China, and although official specs are still forthcoming, the crossover is expected to offer North American buyers the turbocharged 1.3L I3 L3T gasoline engine. Under the body panels, the crossover rides on the GM VSS-F platform.

and a weak under powered 3 cylinder engine
I hope it’s better than the 1.0L 3-cylinder in my Chevy Sprint (although I did get an honest 45 MPG)!
Don’t care for the new looks at all. Looks like a Ford.
Envista is 1.3 L and Trax is 1.2L. Envista WINS.
maybe so , but either way a bit underpowered.
That 1.3 has the torque of a 2 stroke chainsaw. Ask any Encore GX owner or sales person. Make sure you turn off the A/C when merging onto the expressway.
Modern AC units are electric, not belt driven.
Engines can be tuned to produce the power necessary for the vehicle’s purpose. The Buick Cascada convertible has a 1.6 liter 4 cylinder engine and makes 200 HP and 200 pound feet of torque and is very zippy.
Regarding the Envista, I would like to see some brand identity in the car. What makes it a Buick??
I hate this new logo. Really I don’t care for the front end of all the new designs. Comparing the photos of these new designs with the current ones on the lot does not get me excited. They always fail to market Buicks well. They will really have to step it up to move these new designs.
Everybody is talking about the front end. From the side it appears to have a bit of a hunchback.
exactly – thank you!!!!!
Made in China…. no thank you
AWD?
I grew up under Buick straight 8 Super. But this new so called Buicks just sucks, period Mercedes stole their grille motif, Maserati stole their side. Potholes 😊😊😊marry, Mary Xmas
3 cylinder engine? LOL.
Toyota Venza minus hybrid drivetrain.
Hey, Buick, Keep It In China!
