Buick has reinvented itself as an all-SUV brand with sharp styling and some of the best value in the near-luxury space: the Envista is one of the best-looking cars under $30K from anyone, and the Avenir trims deliver genuine luxury for thousands less than the German badges.
The style bargain of the decade: coupe-SUV lines, an 11-inch widescreen cockpit, and a price in the mid $20Ks. People will guess it costs twice as much.
The traditional-shape small Buick: upright, easy to see out of, available AWD, and the same 19-inch widescreen dash as its bigger siblings.
The two-row sweet spot: a 228 hp turbo, a 30-inch dash display, and a hushed cabin that undercuts Lexus NX money by a wide margin.
Fully redesigned with a 30-inch dash display, a 328 hp turbo, and available Super Cruise hands-free driving: a genuine luxury three-row wearing a mainstream price.
The Envista, typically starting in the mid $20Ks, and it is widely considered one of the best-styled affordable cars on sale. On Broker Black every Envista listing shows your real monthly payment with your local Arizona or Nevada taxes and fees included.
Avenir is Buick's top luxury trim, the equivalent of GMC's Denali: quilted or perforated leather, unique grille and wheels, and essentially every comfort and safety feature standard.
They share a platform and engines. The Envista is the longer, lower, coupe-styled one, front-wheel drive only. The Encore GX is more upright with easier cargo loading and available AWD. Style pick Envista, practicality pick Encore GX.
Buick includes your first scheduled maintenance visit (oil change, tire rotation, inspection) within the first year, on top of the 3 year / 36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper and 5 year / 60,000 mile powertrain warranties.
