2026 Buick Envista

The 2026 Buick Envista enters the compact‑crossover segment with style, smart engineering and premium cues tailored for buyers who want an upscale experience without full luxury pricing. The new Buick Envista Avenir debuts as a premium trim level for 2026, offering upscale features and a desirable, refined design that sets it apart in the segment. At Kunes Milwaukee we’re excited to showcase what the Envista brings to the marketplace, including standout design and performance features like aluminum wheels, how it stacks up and why you should consider it.

The 2026 Envista is powered by a turbocharged 1.2‑litre three‑cylinder engine producing around 155 horsepower and 174 lb‑ft of torque. Front‑wheel drive comes standard, with all‑wheel drive available in higher trims. The fuel economy is strong for the class, often pegged in the high‑20s to low‑30s mpg combined depending on configuration. The compact size makes it ideal for urban driving, yet the design doesn’t sacrifice comfort or utility.

Trim levels for the 2026 Envista typically include Preferred as base, then Select, and the top‑tier Avenir. Pricing starts in the low‑$30,000 range for base trims and moves upward for higher specifications. The Select adds features like upgraded infotainment and styling enhancements. The Avenir brings premium materials, larger wheels, advanced driver‑assist features and a near‑luxury feel.

Buick has infused the Envista with sleek exterior styling: layered lighting, bold grille, sculpted bodywork, and a refined silhouette. Inside, premium touches like the available heated steering wheel, user‑friendly tech, and a comfortable ride make it stand out in the compact‑SUV category. For buyers seeking style and substance at a reasonable price, the Envista offers a compelling mix.

Inside the Envista you’ll find seating for five, thoughtful layout, quality materials and an ambiance that feels elevated. Standard cloth upholstery transitions into optional leather in higher trims, while available heated front seats, dual‑zone climate, and larger display screens elevate the experience. Generous rear legroom ensures comfort for passengers in the back, making longer journeys more enjoyable. The front passenger also benefits from advanced safety and comfort features, such as seatbelt reminders and adjustable seating.

The 2026 model features a modern infotainment system with a responsive touchscreen, standard wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and connectivity features designed for today’s mobile lifestyle. The digital instrument cluster in higher trims and optional wireless charging pad further enhance tech appeal.

Safety is a priority. Standard driver‑assist features include automatic emergency braking, lane‑keeping assist, blind‑spot monitoring, rear cross‑traffic alert, front pedestrian braking, and pedestrian braking, all working together to enhance pedestrian safety. Higher trims add surround‑vision camera systems, adaptive cruise control, lane change alert, and premium lighting packages. These features bring confidence to everyday driving, especially in changing Illinois weather conditions.

The turbo 1.2‑litre engine offers lively performance for daily commuting and errands, while the compact size allows easy maneuvering in city and suburban settings. If you opt for the AWD variant, you gain additional traction and stability for winter roads without giving up much on fuel economy.

Despite its compact footprint, the Envista offers good usability with ample cargo space for various needs: a flexible rear seat system, fold‑flat rear seats for larger cargo, and a well‑designed rear cargo area that accommodates weekend gear, groceries or sports equipment. With the rear seats folded, the cargo area expands significantly, making it easy to transport larger items. The comfortable second‑row seating also adds family usability.

With a strong combination of features, style and efficiency, the Envista presents solid value. For buyers who want modern amenities, premium feel and strong technology in a compact package, this model hits a sweet spot. Warranty coverage and Buick’s brand support further enhance long‑term peace of mind.

Recommended for buyers who want an upscale compact SUV at a reasonable price. It covers major essentials: modern tech, safety features, good engine performance and stylish design.

For drivers who value upgraded aesthetics, slightly more power or optional features like leatherette upholstery, larger wheels and advanced connectivity. This trim is a strong mid‑tier choice.

For drivers who prioritize premium feel: higher-end materials, advanced driver assistance, special paint and wheel packages, and exclusive design cues. If you spend a lot of time driving and appreciate comfort and refinement, go for Avenir.

If most of your driving is city/suburb, the base engine and FWD may be ideal.

• If you face winter conditions or drive gravel/rougher roads, consider the AWD option.
• Think about how often you’ll carry passengers or cargo and whether you’ll keep the vehicle long‑term.
• Align your budget not just for purchase price but also fuel, insurance and maintenance costs.
