The 2021 Buick Envision displays contemporary styling that is the most expressive of Buick’s sculptural design language. The three trims – Preferred, Essence and Avenir – each incorporate specific design features. The Preferred and Essence trims have an available Sport Touring package that embodies a more agile appearance with darkened exterior touches and 20-inch wheels with a darkened finish. All models feature LED headlamps and taillamps and daytime running light signatures, as well as a welcome/walkaway lighting animation, which activates when using the key fob. The new Envision has a more athletic presence that is full of character. Buick Envision designers had one overriding objective with the new SUV’s interior: Provide customers with a sense of reward in their everyday driving. At the heart of the Buick Envision’s new interior is its driver-centric instrument panel, which is tilted toward the driver for a better, clearer view. The panel blends technology and convenience, including Buick’s first available 10.2-inch-diagonal infotainment touchscreen.
