Buick Envision

Model Years Produced: 2021 to Current

Summary

Redesigned for 2021, the second-generation Buick Envision isn’t anything remarkable or trend-setting, but if you’re looking for an American take on a premium SUV, it’s a solid choice. It has a nice interior, a nice ride, great predicted reliability, and is arguably one of the best-looking vehicles in the class – not bad for a brand which has had trouble shedding its reputation of being the car for old people.

Cons

Even AWD models will briefly spin the front wheels in low-traction situations
Engine is merely adequate
Warranty benefits aren’t great compared to other luxury brands
