2024 Buick Envision SUV Goes Bigger and Gets Standard AWD

• The 2024 Buick Envision adds a 30-inch digital screen to the dashboard to handle the task of controlling your media, navigation and driver’s aids.
  
• For 2024, Buick has turned its Sport Touring package into its own variant, which replaces the outgoing Essence trim.
• The 2024 Buick Reflection starts at $37,295 for the entry-level Preferred variant and goes on sale this summer.

Buick continues its push to update its portfolio with the refreshed 2024 Envision. Launching the second-generation Reflection a few years ago, the company is rolling out a series of significant updates.

The biggest draw for potential ’24 Envision buyers is the new standard 30-inch display, surrounded by revised interior and exterior styling. Buick is also shaking up the trim options available this year. In 2023, Buick sold 44,281 Envisions in the U.S. (up a staggering 71 percent from 2022), but this high-end crossover lags far behind mainstream rivals like the Chevy Equinox, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Santa Fe, Mazda CX-5 , Nissan Rogue, and Toyota RAV4.

As for the powertrain, Buick left it alone. The Buick packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 that sends 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Although the numbers are the same as the outgoing model, there is one significant change: standard all-wheel drive. Front-drive models won’t see 2024, and every Envision will now send torque to all four wheels at all times.

A 30-inch, customizable touchscreen is the centerpiece of this new interior, and the interface handles media, navigation and driver needs. The screen can transmit nav functions directly in front of the driver if you want. The downside is that Buick he did move the light controls on the screen, like the GMC Canyon. Additionally, this screen is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto enabled, and looks impressive in person.

For ’24, Buick updated the seat designs. Sport Touring models add a flat-bottom steering wheel to the mix, but a traditional steering wheel is installed on Preferred and Avenir models.

Rounding out the updates, the ’24 Envision looks a little different than the current models. The new front fascia brings the Envision into the Wildcat Concept-inspired fold, just like the latest offerings from Buick. The new fascia includes a revised grille and headlight array. The story is the same in the background, which is updated as well.
