"It has a responsive turbocharged engine coupled with a smooth ride." - True Car
Muscling a punch of 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, the 2022 Buick Envision characterizes a 2.0L Turbo I-4 engine that is coupled with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This power curve is translated to that sheer brawniness either through an FWD or AWD. However, the AWD might cost an extra $3,650 for the Preferred configuration and $1,800 more for Avenir and Essence.
Attributed with its unique 5-link rear suspension and advanced MacPherson strut on the front, the Buick Envision possesses balanced wheel geometry. On top of that, its FWD layout gets three driving modes such as Touring, Snow, and Sport. While the AWD configuration employs Touring, Sport, Off-road, and AWD that customizes the driving dynamics for better traction and handling.
Speaking of the 0-60 MPH jolt, the timing ticks 7.3 seconds and the quarter-mile takes 15.7 seconds by the 2022 Envision. One can thump up to 130 MPH with this 5-seater compact SUV as well. Along with that, comes the 12.6-inch front and 12.4-inch rear disc brakes with high-performance lining and a 4-wheel ABS that ensures a safe braking distance of 162 ft for 70-0 MPH.

As far as rivals are concerned, the Envision is 0.8 seconds slower than the Infiniti QX50 in 0-60 MPH sprint owning to its 40 horsepower slippage, however, it costs $7,500 less too. The Cadillac XT5, meanwhile, is nearly $12,000 more expensive than the Buick badge yet struggles against the latter in both 0-60 MPH and quarter-mile drag by 0.3 seconds.
