From its unmistakable Buick grille to its sculpted rear profile, one glance at the new 2019 Envision confirms that this small luxury SUV offers owners both versatility as well as style. To complement the new styling, there’s increased engine power, a new transmission, and improvements in its connectivity systems. Best yet, the 2019 Envision makes for an outstanding SUV for the conditions that drivers in Northern Michigan face on a year-round basis.
Stylish New Exterior
The New 2019 Envision makes a lasting impression from every angle. At the forefront of the refreshed exterior: the unmistakable Buick grille and tricolor insignia, along with bright, crisp available LED-accented headlamps and new low-profile LED-enhanced tail lamps. The 2019 Buick Envision also features a standard hands-free power liftgate that helps you access your cargo area without lifting a finger.
Comfortable Redesigned Interior
The sense of luxury inside the new 2019 Envision is apparent from its soft-touch materials and modern amenities. The spacious cabin is quiet and comfortable, with up to nearly seven inches of available rear seat leg room. The 60/40 fold-flat rear seats can be easily adjusted to accommodate a variety of configurations. You can even fold the second row flat before entering the vehicle, by utilizing release handles on either side of the cargo area.
Available Engines
Press the premium Start button and the 2019 Envision comes to life. Buyers have a choice of one of two sources: the standard 2.5 L DOHC engine with 197 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque or the available 2.0 L turbocharged DOHC engine with 252 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, which comes mated to a new, smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission. The turbo engine model is a full half-second faster from 0-60 than last year’s model.
The 2019 Envision is equipped with a stop-start deactivation switch on the instrument panel that allows the driver to choose whether to use the auto-stop function. The calibration of the stop-start technology has also been refined for an even more seamless operation.
All-Wheel Drive
Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive with an electronically locking rear differential with twin clutch automatically adjusts the amount of engine torque delivered to each wheel based on road conditions to optimize traction and respond before slipping occurs.
Winter Driving
Beyond the safety and security of all-wheel drive, buyers in Northern Michigan seek creature comforts that’ll make the old winters a little easier to bear. Available on the 2019 Buick Envision are cold-weather features like a heated steering wheel, heated front seats that can also be cooled during hot summer months, separate climate controls for rear seat passengers, heated rear seats for the outside rear seat passengers, and heated exterior mirrors.
There’s much more to the 2019 Envision than we have space to cover, like the standard Buick Infotainment System with an 8-inch-diagonal color touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and the standard Buick 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
