Performance
As a first-ever model, Buick Envista enlists performance details that are serious.
In this is a turbocharged 1.2-liter, ECOTEC engine toward supplying values of 137 hp and 162 lb.-ft. of torque. Fuel efficiency ratings of 28 mpg between Painted Post intersections and 32 mpg otherwise are there to seize.
Upon departure, responses are quick given the advanced Watts Link rear suspension in-place with adaptive cruise control allowing for an easy commute to Watkins Glen.
Technology
To satisfy the essential need of connectivity wherever you're traveling, technology is of an advanced level. There's also an element of intuition underpinning the convenience of features within easy reach of hand and finger.
To the cockpit is the full stretch of an angled display harboring the 11-inch high-definition, colored diagonal infotainment screen and driver's instrumentation cluster measuring to 8-inches. Then, wireless is Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, available is wireless device charging as well as in-vehicle Wi-Fi Hotspot capability.
And for a sense of calm, QuietTuning™ technology uses active noise cancellation. This mitigates sound from the outside world.
Interior and Exterior
Unique to a crossover is the coziness of more compact interior proportions. Though smaller in comparison to the more hulking dimensions relative to SUVs, Buick Envista plays host to amenities optimizing the experience for Watkins Glen families.
Provided are details of a flat-bottomed steering wheel for handling opportunities and above is an available moonroof when skies become clear outside Corning. Second-row passengers are provided considerable legroom, though there's a maximum measure of 42.0 cu.-ft. lent cargo spacing opportunities. Seating surfaces are clothed with stitched leatherette trim accents pleasing to the eye.
Detailing the exterior are elements of futuristically angled LED headlamps and a meshed front grille design. Across the roof is a sloping element that sweeps itself to the rear decklid. Below are available 18-inch machine-finished, two-tone wheels.
Safety Features
For purposes of safeguarding passengers, Buick Envista is equipped with the Buick Driver Confidence suite of driver-assistance functions. These work passively until which time an automated response is deployed with need at an Elmira intersection.
Of the six standard functions offered are front-pedestrian braking and forward collision alerting. Automatic braking is then delivered in an emergency situation. Intellibeam high beams react automatically to oncoming traffic. Following distance indicator keeps a safe space between vehicles ahead and lane-keeping assistance lends a warning when straying from an intended course.
Trim-dependent is the OnStar system for various safety and security features offering umbrella-like protection when past the village limits of Sayre, PA.
