All-New 2024 Buick Envista Production Under Way In Korea

General Motors has announced that series production of the all-new 2024 Buick Envista has started in South Korea.

The automaker’s South Korean subsidiary held the production start-up ceremony for the all-new Buick Envista on June 8th at the GM Bupyeong plant, which will supply the North American market, and the same facility where the Chevy Trailblazer and Buick Encore GX are produced. Mass production of the new 2024 Envista has officially begun, and exports to the United States, Canada and Mexico will begin shortly.

“Following the success of the new Chevrolet Trax which has had such explosive demand both domestically and globally, I’m proud of our team for executing a successful start to full-scale mass production for the Buick Envista,”  said President and CEO of GM Korea, Roberto Rempel. “As we have with the Trailblazer and Trax, we will continue to produce high-quality vehicles for our customers and, respond to global demand by maximizing productivity and strengthening quality competitiveness without a hitch,” he added.

In particular, the start of series production of the all-new 2024 Buick Envista represents a major milestone for GM Korea as the company completes its more recent manufacturing project and further accelerates plans to reach combined production capacity of 500,000 units per year at its two vehicle manufacturing plants. The manufacturer plans to run both the Bupyeong complex and the GM Changwon plant at full capacity.

Like its corporate 2024 Chevy Trax sibling, the 2024 Buick Envista is expected to become a highly popular model in the U.S. market for its strong affordable premium product proposition and aggressive positioning. In addition to the South Korea plant, the Buick Envista has been manufactured since the end of last year in China to exclusively supply the domestic market of that country – where it is positioned above the second-generation Encore in the brand’s lineup.

“The Buick Envista is the result of GM’s global engineering team coming together from across design, engineering and production technology to create a car that fits the needs of our global customers,” said GM Technical Center Korea Product Engineering and Operations President, Brian McMurray. “I think they did a fantastic job and I’m confident the Envista will yet again prove GM’s competitiveness in the global market by satisfying our customers around the world,” he finished.

  1. I’m very excited for Buick’s future. The Envista will give younger Americans an amazing choice for a premium vehicle with a fashionable urban personality. The new design language looks great in this form and size and it’s destined to be a good seller. Yay GM and Buick!

  2. GM has some great vehicles in these smaller segments that have proven to be high quality and vehicles that are right for the customer and environment with a turbo 3 . My son has had an AWD Trailblazer since they were introduced in 2021.
    The quality and reliability has been terrific and it now has 50k on it.
    The TrailBlazer, Encore GX and now the Trax and Envista will prove to be very popular , a hit for GM , but the larger issue will be can they/ will they build enough to meet demand.
    In my area there are virtually no TBs or Encore GXs on the lots . 1 or 2 show up and they are gone almost immediately, likely sold in advance . Its been that way for the past 2 years.
    GM has flooded their lots with full size trucks and nothing else. Most dealers are just now starting to get Colorados and its 1 or 2 and they are mostly sold, 4 months after production started.

  4. I’m anxious to use the “build’ portal and see the choices offered by GM and the Buick design teams. Hopefully they will provide this information quickly…

    1. Me too. I’m holding off on buying the new Traz until I see the Envista. Waiting on GM to release the build portal on Buick’s website.
