The all-new 2024 Buick Envista is a subcompact SUV with a sleek profile aimed at young city dwellers. It\u2019s also the cheapest new Buick. Pricing starts at $23,495.<\/p>\n
Having carved out a niche for itself somewhere between the mainstream and luxury vehicle sectors,\u00a0Buick\u00a0has veered more toward the former with this new Envista, even if it does look incredibly premium. It\u2019s one of the first subcompact SUVs to come with a sleeker roofline, appealing to buyers who are happy to forgo a little practicality in the pursuit of higher style. The Envista also has a smooth ride quality and an exceptionally quiet cabin, so it\u2019s going to feel a little upmarket in these respects.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The 2024 Buick Envista starts at $23,495. That\u2019s for the base Preferred trim and makes it the most affordable new Buick.<\/p>\n These figures include the manufacturer\u2019s suggested retail price and a $1,295 factory-to-dealer delivery fee (destination charge).<\/em><\/p>\n At these decidedly mainstream prices, possible rivals include the\u00a0Hyundai Kona\u00a0(starting in the low 20s),\u00a0Mazda CX-30 Before buying a new Envista subcompact SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying.

But what it lacks in power it makes up for in serenity. The Envista is among the quietest vehicles in its class or at this price point, even.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve spent hundreds of hours driving and researching the current collection of\u00a0subcompact SUVs, including the Buick Envista.<\/em><\/p>\n Buick says the new Envista gets 30 mpg combined (28 city, 32 highway). That\u2019s about on par with others in the class.<\/p>\n Check out: <\/strong>10 new cars worth waiting for<\/p>\n The high-style exterior can make it easy to forget the Envista is among the lowest-priced vehicles on the market. The interior offers a dose of reality. We like the big screens, interesting textures and overall design, but some of the plastics still suffer from a general cheapness. The Honda HR-V, for instance, feels a bit richer than this Buick.<\/p>\n On the plus side, 38.7 inches of rear legroom is great for the subcompact SUV class. Unsurprisingly, 37.3 inches of rear headroom is less competitive, thanks to that sloping roof.<\/p>\n Cargo space of 20.7 cubic feet behind the rear (60:40 split\/folding) seats compares quite well to some contenders, even the 42 cubic feet when those seats are down. If this is a major consideration, though, consider that the Kia Seltos with its 26.6 and 62.8 cubic feet.<\/p>\n A new design philosophy is applied to the 2024 Envista, with a front end inspired by the\u00a0Buick Wildcat electric vehicle concept. To our eyes, this is a successful look \u2014 much snazzier than anything the company has come up with for a long time.<\/p>\n The rest of the body seems very much inspired by the BMW X4 See: <\/strong>The 2024 BMW X4 review: Pricing, engine, tech and safety for this luxury compact SUV<\/p>\n Wireless Apple CarPlay\/Android Auto<\/strong> Wireless charging<\/strong> Powered tailgate<\/strong> Wi-Fi<\/strong> Moonroof<\/strong> Heated steering wheel<\/strong> Also on MarketWatch: <\/strong>Honda, GM plan to launch driverless taxi service in Japan in 2026<\/p>\n A turbocharged 1.2-liter 3-cylinder engine is the sole method of propulsion for the 2024 Envista. Output is 136 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, which goes to just the front wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission. There\u2019s no option for all-wheel drive.<\/p>\n Buick\u2019s new-vehicle warranty lasts for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. This is all typical among mainstream manufacturers, but Kia and Hyundai have better terms. Roadside assistance is also provided for five years or 60K miles, and the first service is free.<\/p>\n\n
