Buick Envista

The Buick Envista is one of 83 Buick models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2023. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Buick Envista properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2020s were the current era, in which battery-electric platforms, software-defined cars and China's rise as the world's largest producer are rewriting a century of industry order. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Tesla Tesla Cybertruck, the Nissan Nissan Z, the Kia Kia EV6 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Buick Envista reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Gasoline: / 1.2 L GM E-Turbo engine / LIH Turbocharger / turbo Straight-three engine / I3 / 1.5 L GM small gasoline engine#LYX / LYX turbo Straight-four e; quoted output is transmission = 6-speed Automatic transmission / automatic / Continuously variable transmission / CVT (China); kerb weight is recorded at 3030 –; drive goes through 6-speed Automatic transmission / automatic / Continuously variable transmission / CVT (China); the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 2 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Buick story

Within Buick's own catalogue the Buick Envista sits alongside the Buick Avenir, the Buick Electra E5, the Buick Excelle GX, the Buick GL6. The record names the Buick Encore (North America) as its predecessor, anchoring one end of its lineage. Assembly is recorded at China: Shenyang (SAIC-GM) / South Korea: Bupyeong District / Bupyeong-gu, Incheon (GM Korea).

On the record

For the years the United States federal record covers, EPA-rated economy comes in at 30 mpg combined, which works out near $2,050 a year in fuel at current prices.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Buick Envista costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
