The Buick Envista is a 5-door coupe SUV from Buick, built from 2023 to 2025, in the decade the industry is turning electric. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine.
Where it came from
The Buick Envista is a subcompact crossover SUV with a fastback design manufactured by General Motors and marketed under the Buick brand since 2022 for the model years 2023 onward, 2024 for North America. It shares the GM VSS-F platform with the Chevrolet Trax (marketed as the Seeker in China). Presented for the Chinese market in August 2022, GM introduced the Envista in April 2023 in the United States and Canada. The Envista is manufactured in Changwon, South Korea by GM Korea and in China by SAIC-GM.
Under the skin
Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 3030 –. It shifts through a 6-speed Automatic transmission / automatic / Continuously variable transmission / CVT (China). The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2700 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Buick Encore (North America); assembly was at Shenyang. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Tesla Cybertruck, the Nissan Z, the Kia EV6 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Buick catalogue sit the Buick First Call and the Buick Funeral Car.
What it costs now
The money question first: $22,800–$35,800 is the typical asking range today, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $2,753–$3,603 a year. Insurance sits around $1,620–$2,340 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
