2016 Buick Envision Used Price Estimates

The 2016 Buick Envision gives you plenty of features at a reasonable price. If you're looking for a small crossover SUV that's nicer than mainstream fare but still friendly on your wallet, the Envision might be a good option to consider.

The "Made in China" label has finally made it to an automobile sold in the United States. Would you have guessed it's a Buick? It's true. The new 2016 Buick Envision hails from across the Pacific. But we wouldn't get overly worked up over that fact one way or another. Automotive manufacturing is fully globalized, and China just so happens to be where General Motors is building it. You could say the same about the iPhone, and that hasn't stopped too many people from buying them.

More importantly, the Buick Envision is a vehicle to check out if you're more interested in value for the money than brand prestige or the uppermost levels of refinement and luxury. This is Buick's third crossover SUV, filling in the gap between the pint-sized Encore and plus-sized Enclave. Although lower priced trim levels will arrive with next year's model, for now the Envision will only be available in Premium I and II trims that come with far more standard equipment than other base versions of rival crossovers. Value is strong under the hood as well, as every Envision features all-wheel drive and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces compelling power for the segment.

We haven't fully tested the 2016 Envision yet, but our initial impressions are positive. While checking out other small luxury crossovers such as the Acura RDX, Cadillac XT5, Lexus NX 200t and Lincoln MKC is going to be a wise idea, this new Buick could very well be worth checking out.

The 2016 Buick Envision is a small luxury SUV that seats five people. For 2016, only two trim levels are offered: Premium I and Premium II.

Standard equipment on the Premium I includes 19-inch wheels, automatic headlights, LED accent lights, automatic wipers, a hands-free power liftgate, front and rear parking sensors, roof rails, auto-dimming heated mirrors and keyless ignition and entry. Inside, you get tri-zone automatic climate control, heated eight-way power front seats (with power lumbar adjustment), driver memory settings, a heated 60/40 split-folding rear seat (it also slides and reclines), leather upholstery, a heated tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Standard technology features include a rearview camera, forward collision warning system, lane departure warning and intervention, blind-spot monitoring, OnStar (with on-board 4G LTE connectivity), the Intellilink 8-inch touchscreen interface, Bluetooth, four charge-only USB ports (two front, two rear) and a seven-speaker Bose sound system with a CD player, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio jack and a USB media player interface. Navigation functionality can be added to the standard Intellilink interface as an option.

The Premium II adds an automatic parking system (parallel and perpendicular), adaptive and automatic leveling xenon headlights, automatic high beams, a head-up display, ventilated front seats, manual driver seat thigh adjustment, and navigation functionality added to the standard Intellilink interface. The optional Driver Confidence package adds adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and a surround-vision parking camera system.

A panoramic sunroof can be added to both trim levels.

Every 2016 Buick Envision comes with all-wheel drive, a six-speed automatic transmission and a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.

EPA-estimated fuel economy is 22 mpg combined (20 mpg city/26 mpg highway), which is average for the segment.

Standard safety equipment is abundant with typical items like antilock brakes, traction and stability control, front side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and front knee airbags augmented by a variety of high-tech items. These include warnings for forward collision, blind spot, rear cross-traffic and lane departure, along with lane keeping assist. Automatic emergency braking is including in the Premium II's Driver Confidence package. Also standard is OnStar emergency communications, which includes automatic crash notification, an emergency call button and stolen vehicle locater.

Turbocharged four-cylinder engines are becoming more popular for this class, and the 2016 Buick Envision's is satisfying. It's 252 hp is enough to give you the confidence to easily merge onto the highway and pass slower traffic. Buick doesn't offer an upgrade engine for the Envision but we think most shoppers will be satisfied with what's under the hood.

A sophisticated all-wheel-drive system is standard with this engine and it automatically applies power to the appropriate wheel in order to maximize traction. From behind the wheel, it's operation is undetectable but it does help with getting the most in wet-weather conditions as well as helping you accelerate confidently around turns.

Even over broken pavement, the 2016 Envision tracks unfazed along the intended path, filtering out most of the road imperfections before they reach occupants. Overall, the Envision is easy to drive and is as capable and comfortable as its main competitors.

Since the only trim levels for 2016 are essentially loaded, every Buick Envision boasts abundant features and handsome materials that are especially highlighted by multiple two-tone color schemes and distinctive wood trim. It's a premium environment to be sure, though after a brief inspection, we think most rivals in the segment are ultimately of a higher overall quality.

The Intellilink touchscreen interface is generally user-friendly and features crisply rendered icons along with the unique standard 4G LTE data connectivity and mobile Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility will not be added until the 2017 model year arrives.

In terms of back seat space, the Envision is in the middle of the compact luxury SUV pack. The 60/40 split bench's sliding functionality is a welcome feature, though, as it allows you to scoot the seat forward to maximize luggage space or bring the kids and their runny noses closer. You can also scoot it all the way back to keep their kicking feet well clear of the front seats.

With 26.9 cubic feet of space with the back seat raised and 57.3 cubic feet with it lowered, the Envision has one of the smaller cargo capacities in the segment. However, we have yet to fully test it to see how that translates into real-world functionality -- sometimes measurements can be deceptive.

While the Envision will offer a choice of two 4-cylinder engines next year, this year's models all use the up-level turbocharged version mated exclusively to an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. During our tests on both GM's arduous proving grounds in Michigan and on public roads around Detroit, we found the Envision to be more relaxed and quieter than rivals like the RDX and Q5. This new Buick crossover SUV adeptly absorbed the worst dips, bumps and contusions the proving grounds could throw at it. Its 252-horsepower turbocharged engine, meanwhile, offered good if not the quickest acceleration. That is more than enough power to make the Envision playful, and we also give props to its AWD system that helped maintain grip and agility upon exiting corners at speed. On the flip side, emergency stops were about as non-stressful as can be when slamming the brakes from 70 mph. The Envision's auto start/stop system that shuts off the engine at idle isn't defeatable, but also isn't the most intrusive we've experienced.

QUIET CABIN If you see a car as a sanctuary from the harried outside world, you'll enjoy the new Envision. Thanks to Buick's QuietTuning technology and active noise-cancelation system, this new crossover SUV feels like a reprieve from the stress of everyday life. REAR-SEAT ACCOMMODATIONS All-wheel drive and proud of it, the all-new Envision's rear passenger area stands out for what it doesn't have: an intrusive hump down the middle. Buick found a way to hide the transmission tunnel, thereby creating a flat floor. This leads to great comfort, especially for middle passengers.

The Envision's 5-passenger cabin is an open, airy, comfortable place to be. As mentioned above, rear-seat accommodations are noteworthy for their flat floor, and those in back also get their own climate controls and 120-volt AC-style outlet and USB ports for powering electronics. The front seating area feels equally spacious and controls and buttons for climate, audio and the like are easy to identify and use. Moreover, we're thankful that there are actual buttons and knobs, vs. the finicky touch-based systems employed by others. An analog clock to the upper right of the standard 8-inch Buick IntelliLink screen may seem a bit odd or refreshing, depending how you view this tradition.

The all-new Envision deftly splits the difference between the subcompact, nearly nubby Encore SUV and the larger, nearly bloaty Enclave. Comparatively, the Envision is a sleek Goldilocks with fine proportions and handsome, albeit conservative looks. We like the standard power tailgate that has adjustable lift height and hands-free operation (just stick your foot near the bumper). We're still not a fan of the portholes in the hood that serve no function other than keeping tradition.

With the limited-run 2016 Envision sold in just two premium trims, all models come very well equipped. Included are a turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive, an 8-inch touch screen display with rear-view camera and front and rear parking assist, leather, power-operated and heated front seats, a power liftgate, a heated steering wheel, and tri-zone climate control. A 7-speaker Bose premium system with AM/FM/USB/Bluetooth functionality provides audio. And if a CD player is a must-have in your Envision, get it now, as it won't be available in 2017 models (which will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto). Safety features include forward collision alert, lane-keeping assist and lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and five years of OnStar teleservices.

The top-line Envision Premium II SUV adds high-intensity headlights, navigation, ventilated front seats, automatic park assist to help you snag smaller spots, and a head-up display. Options include a power moonroof, active safety front automatic emergency braking, a surround-view camera, in-cabin 4G LTE connectivity with Wi-Fi access, adaptive cruise control, and a trailering package.

The 2016 Buick Envision is solely available with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. When the 2017 Envision arrives, this will be the top engine (with a less-powerful, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder standard on lower trims). Power is more than adequate, if not segment-leading, with negligible lag and impressive torque available at a low rpm. The Envision engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, which we found smooth and refined, and for 2016, all models come exclusively with all-wheel drive. The all-new Envision's fuel economy is rated at 20 mpg city/26 highway. Its 22 mpg combined matches an all-wheel-drive RDX and Lincoln MKC, and slightly trails the Audi Q5 and Lexus NX 200t. Towing is not a strong point, as the Envision is only rated for 1,500 pounds. 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 252 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm 260 lb-ft of torque @ 2,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/26 mpg

With a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting just shy of $ 43,000 for a Premium model and just under $ 46,000 for a top-line Premium II trim, the 2016 Buick Envision has to work to be seen as a bargain. These prices are higher than those of rivals like the Audi Q5, Acura RDX, Lexus NX, Infiniti QX50, and even the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC. Keep in mind, however, that this is because the Envision for 2016 is only being sold in two top trims, and as such it is competitively priced compared to higher trims of its rivals. When the full lineup arrives for the 2017 Buick Envision, prices are set to start in the mid-$ 30,000 range. Before buying, check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for their new Envision. As this is an all-new vehicle, the Envision SUV's resale value is still to be determined.
