Excellent review. Fyi, new Buick and Jaguar models have active noise cancelling.

I bought the Essence, doesn’t have all of the features of the Avenir but it has all the features and safety items that you could need. I bought front wheel drive with the panoramic roof. Love the heated steering wheel, and the Apple car play. This car does have noise cancelling and has double laminated or insulated windows for an unbelievable quiet ride. This is also made on the Cadillac XT4 platform for 2021. By no means is this car any relation to the Chevy Equinox. This is a Beautiful Buick, welcome to the party.

Like how you zoom in on features and explain them. Very helpful. Some reviewers blow by these very quickly as if everyone already understands them. Thank you. There was lots of good guidance on the importance of seat comfort but I didn't hear a rating of the front seat's comfort.

Great review! You do a lot of homework behind the scenes that your videos reflect! It takes a well thought out script to produce a seamless, smooth presentation and you do a great job!

We own a 2021 envision essence and after a 957 mile road trip we ran a tank of 87 octane gas and a tank of 91 octane gas and my opinion is the 87 octane averaged 33.4 mph with 35.2 best during a 50 mile best performance on highway and 91 octane average 29.7 better performance but less mpg and take into consideration 87 octane average 2.88 per gal and 91 octane at 3.45 ouch that hurt. Awesome car love the ride very driver friendly

Whew, that was a great complete review Lauren. I am speechless. You answered every question I was going to ask. That is the first car review where this has happened. I rate the review as 99.9% as they say no one is perfect so I didn't give you the benefit of the doubt. Thanks and you can take a breath now.

Girl! What an awesome review. Love that you give all the details.

Lauren, a lot of car salespersons don't tell you much about the car. I actually have to rely on people like you to do my research.

Hi Lauren, I had to go see what all the hooplah was about with the Envision Essence Sports package. The dealer told us the tech package isn't available right now because of the chip shortage. We test drove a black on black Essence the ride reminded me of a XT4 quiet, smooth, not fast. Rate it an 7.5 it's not the ride of our Corsair. BUT, the interior seats comfort I d rate a 10. Both front and back seats were very comfortable. Our Corsair seats are hard and stuff. This was plush and very comfortable. I felt the console material and the dash. Very firm yet soft to touch. The entire interior was a 9. Much more comfort than our Corsair. Me and my wife disagreed on the cargo space. I saw it the same size as our Corsair. My wife thought it was smaller. I kicked my foot out and Shazam the hatch opened. Liked that. We don't have that on our Corsair. The Sports Package has 20" wheels and an amazing sunroof. The curb appeal on this Envision gets a 9. Had this vehicle come equipped with heads up display and a garage door opener. My wife left it up to me to trade. This package didn't have stop/start tech. We came to a red light and I took my foot off the brake expecting the car to hold. The dealer told me it doesn't have the stop hold. Overall, I like the Envision Essence with the tech package. 8.5

This 2021 Envision looks the part and smokes the Acura RDX in 30-50 mph, 50-70 mph and best the 60-0 mph stopping 15-feet shorter in Car & Driver testing. Such good price too!

I have a black on black 2021 Envision and absolutely love it.

I really like this Buick logo.

Nice review! I test drove this car a few days ago. I really liked it but I can’t get past that it’s a Buick! I’m a young guy and still picture my grandpa in his Buick growing up lol. I know silly. But it looks and feels great. The incentives at the dealership make it an easy pick over the competition I’ve also have been looking at. I’m disappointed at the steering wheel, wish it was a bit thicker and I feel like most luxury and non-luxury brands include a lot more tech and features, like the panoramic sunroof at even the basic level. Obviously that comes at a higher price tag at the basic level. The Envision is right at the top of vehicles I want to purchase.

We just bought one we are happy

14:15 - The physical Home button is useful for apps that don't expose the touchscreen button. Android Auto is a notable example. If anything, the software Home is what's redundant here

Awesome review as always!

Great review & nice Buick! I think Buick needs to make adaptive cruise standard on all trim levels since it’s a premium brand.

This is an excellent review video, thank you so much! very well done!

I hate nothing more than reviewers that compare this vehicle to a Chevy or GMC. It is literally on the same chassis as the Caddy and actually drives nicer and quieter than the XT4. Please research if you’re going to do an accurate review.

But as always, you bring a positive review to EVERY car that you upload for review, Lauren. Thank you for your expertise.

My biggest question is what is the difference between a compact luxury from Lincoln or Cadillac, and Buick or Nissan such as Mauro, Rogue, Envision. I was under the impression certain companies make luxury vehicles. And other companies have their own line of luxury but there not on the level as other companies that only make luxury vehicles.

Might i suggest that you post a video explaining the difference between regular brand gas and Top Tier gas. 🧐🤗👍

Lauren, question. In your opinion, is this compact SUV a better rated car than the Corsair? Overall, and or rating wise.

My whole family has buicks not any thang else

I own the new Avenir envision. I was disappointed that the telescoping steering wheel is manual adjust. For this level I would have expected it to be power

Very good on the 2021, but would’ve like info on the inside of Envision, Avenier 2022. Especially the Volume for the radio and music/latest news on CBC etc..

I test drove this 2021, and out the door they wanted 35k. It was the """low end""" model. 👉🏼Right after that I went to Audi and test drove a Q3. Wow!!! Audi Q3 is amazing!!! I knew within a mile it was my car. So quiet inside, drove so nice, felt so good and comfortable. It's AWD, Panoramic Sun Roof/shade, nice soft leather in, heated steering wheel & seats, excellent lumbar, driver & passenger seats adjustable, infotainment system blends in the dash so nicely. The ride is amazing. So much better than a Buick. Out the door $38.5. If the Buick had everything on it like this Audi, it would have been $42k. 👉🏼Go test drive a Q3 right after the Buick. You will notice the difference within 1 mile!!! ♥Sold! Got a beautiful gray color out. 2021. It's loaded. 38.5 out the door.

Love that buick envision but I have the 2021malibu

I got a spare tire but no latch to release the rear seats forward. That's ok

40k for what your getting is 👍 great!

Can I get a sunroof option on the sport trim ?

Hi Lauren Fix, Excellent Review, Why does both the 2022 Chevy Equinox and 2022 Buick Envision offer a 2.0 L Turbo engine, but the same engine is not currently going to be offered in the refreshed 2022 GMC Terrain? Also why aren’t all GM vehicles offering Surround View Camera systems? These three vehicle siblings can all reach the $40k price point, both the Equinox and Terrain do not have height adjustable upper shoulder safety belts? The volume selling vehicles in high to low are the Equinox, Terrain and then Envision. GM is missing out on sales by cheeping out on these vehicles, especially the GMC Terrain. Who can I contact at GMC about product? Keep up the fantastic work you do!

From the review you gave, it sounds like this vehicle is more Oldsmobile like. Nice but not quite luxury. Unfortunately gm charges a luxury price.

"...Pulling 0.84 average lateral g on the skidpad and putting up a 27.1-second figure-eight lap at 0.63 average g puts the Envision(2021) in good standing with the competition. The Acura RDX zipped around the bends almost as quickly, in 27.3 seconds at 0.62 g, and the Corsair 2.0 used 27.7 seconds at 0.67 g. Cousin XT4 recorded 26.3 seconds at 0.66 g....Needing only 116 feet to stop from 60 mph is a shade better than the XT4's 118 feet and is also better than the 2021 Acura RDX SH-AWD, which needed 120 feet, and the Lincoln Corsair AWD, which needed 126 feet... " Motor Trend

If you want a luxury small SUV that's reliable, I'm waiting for a 2022 Lexus NX hybrid.

I drove an Envision 3 times cause I loved the features, but each time I was turned off by the brakes. They take way more effort to press than any car I've driven in years. I've heard the the Cadillac XT4 based on the same chassis has the same issue with the brakes. And yet, you repeatedly complemented the brakes. I don't get it.

Is a digital speed reading an option on the driver display center of the analog dials? Thank you.

I don’t understand why someone would buy a 2WD SUV. It’s like a 2WD truck or in the old days, a 2WD estate car. It’s a soccer mom/dad car. Because it’s a Buick, it should also be soft and comfortable, not sporty. There are smaller cars for that - or a Porsche SUV.

This SUV compares well to the Corsair.

Doesn’t this take regular unleaded gas unlike the 2020 model? And if you had to choose , would you recommend the 2021 envision model over the 2020 one? I have been eyeing this model car for awhile now- Mama needs a new car!!

How do I turn off the annoying seatbelt chime?

It does surely look nice, Lauren(The envision).

Its a decent daily driver which is what I'd use it for. I think the Lincoln Corsair is better. What do you think Lauren?

Buick does not support the Envision with available parts in the U.S. We own one that was in an accident and we have been waiting on parts for 6 months with still no date on when (or if) the parts might arrive…. Meanwhile the car sits unusable at the body shop. The car is made in China, and GM doesn’t stock the parts. DON’T BUY THIS CAR!!!

The dial is if you have on gloves and can't use touchscreen.

Fuel is better than my Corsair. Smaller engine.

I don't have a Head up display. That's ok

Comprehensive review, but will it be reliable?

Hi, I'd like to order a Pepperoni LARGE Pizza with Anchovies and a stack of Bananas for my brother.

It’s a great looking suv for a Buick but it’s far from luxury. It’s no more luxury then a equinox.

Now you KNOW that I must mention how totally AMAZING you look!! Love your outfit classy and very sexy! They did a great job with your hair really pretty, Lauren! With all due respect, lovely. You just keep getting more and more beautiful! You GO sister!

Nothing Buick is the best any longer, IMO, Lauren. The Lacrosse and REGAL GS were the last great American GM cars. Also the V6 Chevy Impala LT/LTZ Impala, the 2012-15 Malibu LT 2.0T, and the Camaro, Vette. A nd, the Silverado with all of it's recalls. My issue with the Envision is that it's really a Glorified Chevy Equinox. And their fuel capacity is way too small.

Why no mention it's made completely in CHINA ?

Ummm...NO! 😉

Your reviews are always excellent and so is the presentation. 👍🤗 but, this is another General Mess miss. just a Chevy with a fancier interior. much better vehicles available from Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, and even Nissan. p.s. if you are in Buffalo, Vampire State , you have much bigger financial problems than what vehicle you drive, instead of being in Florida . 🤔😉😂🤣😉

Sister help me very poor man please my country India God help

How sad Made in China

MADE IN CHINA
