The Envista is for those who want style without the spend.
The 2026 Buick Envista stands out with its sleek, coupe-like design, inspired by the Wildcat EV concept. The fastback silhouette gives it a refined presence that feels unexpected in the subcompact SUV segment. Inside, QuietTuning technology keeps the cabin serene, making it a pleasant place to be, even if the materials remind you of its budget-friendly origins. We were surprised by how composed the ride felt, as it glided over city streets and handled highway curves with poise. However, this isn't the car for thrill-seekers; the 1.2L Turbo struggles to provide any real punch, especially when climbing hills or merging onto freeways. If you're looking for a stylish, affordable SUV for city commutes and leisurely drives, the Envista should be on your list.
