The 2025 Buick Envista Avenir is powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine with 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
While the Envista offers good handling and a balanced ride, the interior materials feel cheap for a Buick and lack a special feeling. The cabin layout is user-friendly but the rear-seat headroom is limited.
Despite its better exterior styling compared to the Chevrolet Trax, the Envista lacks significant upgrades in features. The Envista Avenir comes with keyless entry, infotainment system, safety features, and some options but doesn't offer much more than a top-end Trax.
Priced at around $30,000, the Envista Avenir offers a slightly nicer experience than the Trax but falls short in providing a true luxury feel expected from a Buick. Buick may need to improve the interior materials to make it a more compelling value buy in the entry-luxury segment.
