Luxury Compact SUV: 2025 Buick Envista Trim Levels and Features

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.

Interior Design and Technology

The Envista interior emphasizes premium materials and modern technology integration. Buick’s focus on quiet cabin design extends to this compact model, reducing road noise that typically affects smaller vehicles.

Key interior features include:

• Premium cloth or available leather-appointed seating
• Heated front seats (available)
• 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone integration
• Dual-zone automatic climate control (available)
• Bose premium audio system (available on higher trims)

The cabin design maximizes space efficiency while maintaining the premium feel Buick customers expect. Storage solutions throughout the interior address the practical needs of urban and suburban drivers alike.

Safety and Driver Assistance Technology

The Envista includes Buick Driver Confidence as standard equipment, providing comprehensive safety technology typically reserved for larger, more expensive vehicles.

Standard Safety Features:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Forward Collision Alert for early hazard warnings
• Following Distance Indicator for maintaining safe spacing
• IntelliBeam automatic high-beam headlights

Available safety features include HD Surround Vision and rear camera mirror technology for enhanced visibility in parking lots and tight urban spaces.

Cargo Space and Practicality

Despite its compact exterior dimensions, the Envista provides usable cargo space for daily needs. The rear seats fold to accommodate larger items when needed.

Cargo features include an available hands-free power liftgate for easier loading and organizational accessories to maximize space efficiency. Its compact size makes parking and maneuvering easier throughout Victoria’s urban and suburban environments.

Design and Styling Elements

The Envista introduces new design language for Buick’s compact SUV lineup. The exterior styling emphasizes modern proportions with distinctive Buick design cues.

LED lighting technology includes available adaptive headlights that adjust beam patterns based on steering input and vehicle speed. Available wheel options range from 18-inch to 20-inch designs, allowing buyers to customize the vehicle’s appearance to match their preferences.

Technology and Connectivity

Modern connectivity requirements receive attention in the Envista’s technology package. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto eliminate cable management during daily use.

Available features include:

• Wireless charging pad for compatible smartphones
• USB charging ports throughout the cabin
• 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability (with data plan)
• OnStar services for emergency assistance and vehicle diagnostics

The infotainment system responds quickly to inputs and provides clear display visibility in various lighting conditions.
