Why it stands out

The 2018 Buick Envision stands out as a compact luxury SUV that tries to balance comfort, equipment, and value. It was part of the first generation, which was introduced in mid-2016, and by 2018 Buick had made all-wheel drive standard on the Preferred and Essence trims. That gives the 2018 model a more confident footing than the base setup it replaced, while still keeping the Envision’s core appeal centered on a quiet, comfortable ride and a generous list of standard features.

For 2018, the Envision’s available turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four was paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and made 252 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. EPA fuel economy was estimated at 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. Standard equipment on Premium trim included an 8-inch touchscreen with a rear-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, power heated front seats, a power liftgate, a heated steering wheel, three-zone climate control, and a seven-speaker Bose stereo. Safety equipment was also a strength, with forward-collision warning, lane-keep assist, and blind-spot monitors included.

At the same time, the 2018 Envision was not trying to be the most dramatic or most premium-feeling SUV in its class. The source describes its exterior styling as drab and says it fell well short of rivals such as the Lexus NX and Audi Q5 in appearance. That makes it most appealing to buyers who value a smooth, well-equipped, and safety-minded SUV more than standout styling or true luxury-brand cachet.
