Luxury Compact SUV: 2025 Buick Envista Trim Levels and Features
June 25 2025,
Buick introduced the all-new Envista for 2025, marking the brand’s entry into the luxury compact SUV segment. This newest Buick targets buyers who want premium materials and advanced technology in a more manageable size suitable for urban driving and parking.
The Envista fills the gap between entry-level compact SUVs and larger luxury models. Drivers in British Columbia looking for Buick’s signature quiet ride and upscale features can now find these qualities in a smaller, more city-friendly package.
Engine Performance and Efficiency
The 2025 Buick Envista comes standard with a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain provides smooth acceleration for city merging and highway passing while maintaining efficiency for daily commuting.
All-wheel drive comes standard across all Envista trim levels, providing confidence on varied road surfaces throughout British Columbia’s changing conditions. The intelligent AWD system automatically adjusts power distribution between front and rear wheels based on traction needs.
The 5-link rear suspension design helps maintain stability during cornering while keeping passengers comfortable over uneven terrain or rough pavement.
Trim Level Options and Features
The Envista lineup offers three distinct trim levels: Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir. Each trim provides different combinations of features and styling elements.
- Preferred Trim includes essential luxury features and technology as standard equipment, making it accessible for buyers entering the luxury compact segment.
- Sport Touring Trim adds performance-oriented styling elements and enhanced technology features for drivers who want a more dynamic appearance.
- Avenir Trim represents Buick’s premium sub-brand, offering the highest level of luxury appointments and exclusive design elements.
