Buick: Smart Efficiency Meets Premium Comfort

2026 Buick Envista

The 2026 Buick Envista continues to set a new standard for stylish, budget-friendly efficiency in the crossover segment. Powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged inline-3 engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the Envista delivers 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque — enough for confident highway merging and light towing while maintaining excellent fuel economy.

  • EPA-estimated MPG: 28 city / 32 highway / 30 combined

  • Starting MSRP: Around $23,500

  • Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive (no AWD option)

This compact SUV is perfect for commuters or small families who want the flexibility of an SUV without paying a penalty at the pump. With its smooth ride, refined interior materials, and impressive tech — including an 11-inch touchscreen and standard wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ — the Envista combines luxury and practicality.

If you want a balance of value, comfort, and efficiency, the Buick Envista is the clear choice among the Buick lineup.


Chevrolet: Fuel-Saving Versatility

  • Output: 219 horsepower

  • EPA-estimated MPG: 38 city / 41 highway / 40 combined (estimated)
