Buick offers the 2023 Envision in three trims—Preferred, Essence, and Avenir—so there’s a version for every budget. All Envisions have the same turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 228 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission manages the standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive. This Buick can tow up to 1,500 pounds when it’s equipped with the optional trailer hitch. The EPA has estimated fuel economy for the FWD-equipped Envision at 23 mpg around town and 31 mpg on the open road. This changes to 22 city and 29 highway with AWD.
Buick equips the 2023 Envision Preferred with a long list of standard features, including LED exterior lighting, automatic headlights, an eight-way power driver’s seat, roof rails, heated power side mirrors, proximity keyless entry, and push-button start. This trim also gets fabric and leatherette-trimmed seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, a 4.2-inch driver information display, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. A Preferred with front-wheel drive can be upgraded with the Comfort and Convenience Package for heated front seats, a hands-free power liftgate, a heated steering wheel, remote start, dual-zone automatic climate control, an in-vehicle air ionizer, and other infotainment technology (which is detailed later on this page). This grouping comes standard in conjunction with all-wheel drive.
The Essence adds leather upholstery, everything from the Comfort and Convenience Package (with either FWD or AWD), a driver’s memory system, an eight-way power front passenger seat, and an 8-inch driver information display. The Sport Touring Package can be added to the Preferred and Essence. This option adds black or dark-finished exterior accents, 20-inch dark-finished wheels, aluminum sport pedals, and unique interior treatments. Another option for both of these trims is a panoramic moonroof.
At the top of the Envision range is the Avenir with its panoramic moonroof, adaptive suspension, auto-cornering headlights, 20-inch wheels, ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, wireless device charging, and additional safety and infotainment systems (which are detailed below).
All Envisions come with Buick Driver Confidence for forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking with front pedestrian detection, lane change alert with blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, a following distance indicator, and automatic high beams. The other standard safety technology includes rear cross-traffic alert, and a safety alert driver’s seat (which vibrates during safety warnings). The Technology Package I (optional on the Essence and standard on the Avenir) brings front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view monitor, and a head-up display. The Essence gets more standard safety features with the standard Technology Package II (which is also an option on the Essence), containing adaptive cruise control, enhanced automatic emergency braking, a semi-automatic self-parking system, and a digital rearview mirror.
The Envision Preferred gets an 8-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth, a six-speaker audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, USB ports, and access to a Wi-Fi hotspot, OnStar, and Buick Connected services. The Comfort and Convenience Package (optional on the Preferred and standard on the higher trims) upgrades these features with a 10.2-inch touchscreen and seven-speaker sound system. Navigation and a nine-speaker Bose sound system are part of the Technology Package I, which is available on the Essence and included with the Avenir).
