The 2026 Buick Envista is Buick’s fresh take on the modern crossover: sleek, practical, and surprisingly refined. Blending an athletic coupe-like profile with smart packaging and advanced technology, it’s built to make every drive feel a little more special—whether you’re commuting, running errands around Woodbury, or heading out of town for the weekend.
Trim Levels (Exterior)
The 2026 Buick Envista is available in 3 well-defined trims—Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir. Envista Preferred sets the tone with a clean, confident look. LED headlamps, a bold Buick grille, and 17-inch bright silver-painted aluminum wheels give it an upscale presence that feels anything but “base.” Its flowing roofline and tightly drawn bodywork create a sophisticated first impression from every angle. Envista Sport Touring (ST) turns up the attitude with a sportier edge. A unique Sport Touring grille, Gloss Black mirror caps, bodyside moldings, and lower fascia accents give it a more aggressive, street-inspired appearance. Standard 18-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels fill out the wheel wells for a planted stance. At the top, Envista Avenir embodies Buick’s luxury signature. It adds distinctive Avenir detailing, a refined grille treatment, premium exterior accents, and exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels that elevate the Envista’s already sleek profile. The result is a compact SUV that looks every bit as premium as it feels, with an exterior presence that stands out.
Engine (Power)
Every 2026 Buick Envista is powered by a 1.2L Turbocharged engine engineered to balance efficiency with confident everyday performance. This refined 3-cylinder turbo delivers smooth, responsive power for city driving and highway cruising alike, making merging, passing, and climbing hills feel effortless for a compact SUV. The engine is paired with an automatic 6-speed transmission that sends power to the front wheels, helping deliver a composed, efficient drive. Buick’s engineering focus shows up in the numbers too, with GM-estimated fuel economy of 28 mpg city and 32 mpg highway—an appealing combination for drivers who want style and comfort without sacrificing efficiency.
Performance
On the road, the 2026 Envista feels poised and reassuring. Its FWD layout and carefully tuned suspension work together to deliver a smooth, controlled ride over rough pavement while keeping body motions in check during quick maneuvers. Steering response is precise and predictable, making the Envista easy to place in traffic and confidence-inspiring on curvier roads. Avenir models feature a Watts Link rear suspension setup, enhancing stability and composure for a more premium, settled feel at speed. Across the lineup, the Envista’s chassis tuning emphasizes quiet, refined progress, so even longer drives feel relaxed. The turbocharged engine’s broad torque band helps the Envista feel lively around town while still remaining calm and efficient on the highway.
Interior
Inside, the 2026 Envista delivers the kind of thoughtful, upscale cabin that has become a Buick hallmark. It comfortably seats up to 5, with generous front-row space and accommodating rear-seat legroom for a compact SUV. The dash is anchored by an ultrawide 11-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen that flows into a driver-focused layout, creating a modern, tech-forward cockpit. Materials and finishes feel carefully chosen, from cloth with leatherette seating on Preferred to leatherette and unique interior accents on Sport Touring, and even more premium touches on Avenir. The cabin design emphasizes clean lines and intuitive controls, with storage solutions and a flexible rear seat that allow you to adapt quickly from passengers to cargo. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility help keep your digital life seamlessly connected, while available features such as wireless smartphone charging and remote commands add convenience to daily use.
Safety Features
Buick has built the 2026 Envista around confidence and peace of mind. Every trim comes standard with Buick Driver Confidence, a suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies. This includes features such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and IntelliBeam® auto high beams. Available packages can further enhance safety and convenience with technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, helping you stay aware of your surroundings in busy traffic or crowded parking lots.
