Скачать или смотреть 2018 Buick Envision Performance REVIEW

The 2018 Buick Envision is available in several configurations, but we’ve only been able to spend time in the most powerful.

Based on that experience, we rate the Envision a 6 out of 10, awarding it a point above average for its good ride quality. It’s not remotely sporty, but the Envision does a nice job of filtering the outside world and providing a relaxed, calming demeanor.

Envision base, Preferred, and Essence trims are all powered by a 197-horsepower, 2.5-liter inline-4 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic. It’s paired exclusively to front-wheel drive on the base model. Only Preferred and Essence trim levels can be optioned up with all-wheel drive and the base engine.
Both Envision Premium trim levels are powered by a 2.0-liter turbo-4 rated at 252 hp and 260 pound-feet of torque sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. The turbo engine can feel a little buzzy at idle, but it delivers smooth power with minimal lag.

Envisions are available with 18-, 19-, and 20-inch alloy wheels, but we’ve only driven Premiums with the larger setup. Despite the small sidewall afforded by the 20s, the Envision rides well over smooth and rough terrain. Its suspension is soft but not too plush, so it can be hustled confidently down a winding road.

It won’t entertain, but it does cosset reasonably well. That’s all we ask of a luxury crossover, and to that end the Envision delivers.
