The 2024 Buick Envista goes on sale this summer. ST models cost $25,195 while top Avenir grades cost $29,695.Ĭompetitors range from the 2023 Mazda CX-30 to the 2023 Volvo XC40. Automatic emergency braking, active lane control, and automatic high beams also come standard. Sold in Preferred, Sport Touring(ST), and Avenir trims, every 2024 Buick Envista comes with an 11.0-inch touchscreen beside a digital instrument cluster under one piece of curved glass that measures 19.0 inches diagonal. It rides on front struts and a solid rear axle, except for the top Avenir trim and its rear Watts link setup. It employs a 136-hp 1.2-liter turbo-3 paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission in front-wheel drive only. Buick did not say if it would get an electric option, but the first year of Envista propulsion will be by an underwhelming powertrain. It's interesting that the Envista wears some of the aerodynamic design language of an electric vehicle concept. Buick has a tendency of designing jaw-dropping concepts with scant traces of their DNA in production models. Modeled after Buick's Wildcat EV concept unveiled last year, the Envista looks more modern even if it looks nothing like the EV concept. The advantage of the Envista in Buick's lineup then is its price and its style. Rear headroom in the Envista is 37.3 inches without the optional moonroof (worse with it), but rear legroom stretches out to 38.7 inches. The passenger area in the Envista is better for the long-legged, short-torsoed among us. The Envision is a couple cubic feet larger. That's way smaller than the boxier Encore GX at 23.5/50.2 cubic feet. The Envista has 20.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 60/40-split three seats in back, or 42.0 cubic feet when folded down. The downside to the design is less cargo space and rear headroom. The design compromises the sporty look of a coupe with the taller ride height that has helped make crossovers so popular. The raked windshield then flows back over an arched roof that resolves at the available tailgate spoiler (ST models) of an even more raked rear windshield. In profile, it has a short dash-to-axle ratio, where the windshield or A-pillar ends near the front axle. We've seen this film before, just never on a small Buick. Toyota sold 15,867 Highlanders and Ford sold 15,766 Explorers, for example.The 2024 Envista adopts a coupe-like profile popular with German crossover SUVs from BMW, Mercedes, and Audi, and now spreading to others, such as the Genesis GV80 Coupe concept shown off this month at the New York auto show. That’s not enough to make the Grand Cherokee L Canada’s best-selling three-row SUV, mind you. Of the 16,682 total Grand Cherokees sold in Canada in 2022, 9,755 – that’s 58 per cent – were long-wheelbase three-row Grand Cherokee L models. The 2023 RZ 450e small luxury crossover is Lexus first all-electric vehicle. This RZ is estimated to deliver 102 MPGe in the city and 87 MPGe on the highway. What took so long? After forging ahead with two-row Grand Cherokees for nearly three decades, the three-row Jeep Grand Cherokee is now the better seller. The most popular style is the RZ 450e Luxury AWD, which starts at 65,150 and comes with an Electric engine and All Wheel Drive. Jeep Grand Cherokee: 16,682, down 14 per cent ![]() Together, the duo forms a Korean juggernaut in the segment worth 26 per cent of Canadian subcompact crossover sales.ĩ. The only vehicle standing in the Seltos’s way in Canada’s subcompact crossover segment is a vehicle with which it shares underpinnings: the Hyundai Kona. One of only two utility vehicles in the top 10 – and one of only 11 in the top 30 – to report more sales in 2022 than in 2021, the Kia Seltos quickly did exactly what Kia said it would: become the brand’s best seller.
