The 2024 Buick Envision could be the value player in its class. This premium SUV hits the sweet spots with luxury features at a relatively affordable price.

When it first appeared in the market, the Envision was a bit of an oddity, but it filled the empty hole in the Buick lineup. This SUV was first made in China and shipped to the United States by a domestic automaker, but now it has a lot more going for it. The Envision competes with the likes of the Lincoln Corsair and Lexus NX, giving you many impressive features.

Is anything new for 2024?

The 2024 model year represents a mid-cycle refresh for this impressive Buick SUV. Some of the changes include a new standard 30-inch display screen, which includes the infotainment screen and digital gauge cluster. The Envision also includes a new Active Safety Package 2, giving drivers many of the most desirable modern safety features. This Buick SUV now has the feature that everyone wants to see in a GM vehicle: Super Cruise. This optional feature gives drivers the hands-free driving experience they want on many US highways.

In addition to tech upgrades, the Envision comes with standard AWD, a refreshed exterior, and new wheel designs.
