2024 BuickEnvista Avenir For Sale

Mine's an ST and DOES have a heated steering wheel, so one must not HAVE to get the Avenir. 30-33MPG 75-80MPH. Not enough power? It's not a heavy vehicle, folks. It's fine, unless you're planning to drag race. I have a heavy foot, and it's done well enough for me. Very nice bang for the buck. Upscale, great tech, nice and Buick quiet. Would absolutely buy again!

I was a New car dealer for many years. I was not a GM dealer. The Buick Envista that I just purchased is an insane value. Comfort, class , style, and so much more. This vehicle with proper inventory belongs in every home. I am shocked at the low price and this phenomenal vehicle…. Joe M

I have lived with an Envista in the Preferred trim for 15,000 miles now and it becomes more underwhelming the longer I do. I downgraded from an SUV and was drawn in by better MPG and the low price point knowing I was going to be moving to a more urban area with more commuting. There are things about the Envista that during a test drive don't stand out as much as over time with the car. Granted, the Envista is never described as having anything more than just an okay engine and acceleration and you're not buying this to win a drag race. The acceleration really is quite laughable though. There is absolutely no zip and you will need to floor this if you're getting on to a freeway where you need to get up to 70 or more in a short distance. This is paired with a transmission that seems to gear hunt and you'll feel it lurch in both breaking and accelerating situations. A lot of the praise for Envistas comes for the features it includes at a low price point. My personal experience with the wireless charging pad for one of those features is that it's unreliable and will absolutely heat up your phone to a dangerously warm temperature after any extended amount of time. The screen is large, but CarPlay always lags in connecting and I usually have to reselect it since it doesn't automatically connect my phone every time. I've also had CarPlay just cut out too many times to count. It's got a heated steering wheel and heated seats standard, two things you can live without and not notice. The heavily sloped rear glass means this car really doesn't have a lot of cargo space. On multiple trips with just belongings for myself, fiancée, and our small dog, it's a struggle to fit more than a few bags and anything else needs to go on the floor of the backseat. That rear glass also provides a very narrow view out the back and with no rear windshield wiper and almost horizontal angle, you can guess how that looks in wet weather. MPGs are okay in my opinion. It's a light, compact car and I get as much as 40mpg on the highway on longer drives and usually mid- to upper-20s in the city. Now, the cars I'm going to compare it to are more expensive. But considering larger small SUVs like the RAV4 are getting the same or better, it's hard for me to consider the MPG of the Envista to be a selling point now. Lastly, if you do buy this car and are unfortunate enough to need a repair, you're going to be out of luck. I waited over four months for a new windshield after a rock hit it on the freeway since Buick would not put in an order for a new one until there were enough other orders in my area to justify putting one in. In that time, the crack spread across the drivers side of the car. I'm still waiting for replacement rear turn signal from getting backed into in November 2023 and the same story - no update and nothing they can do apparently. This is a common issue among new owners. There's no denying the price point for this car, it's cheaper than a lot of used cars these days. There are so many better options though and it's not retaining any value. I'd implore folks to look around and be really sure that this is specifically what they want to avoid the buyers remorse myself and others have.
