The 2024 Buick Envista is the brand's new 'cheap' SUV
Buick global vice president Duncan Aldred enters The Fox Garage to talk about the all-new 2024 Buick Envista subcompact SUV, which is the brand's new entry level model.
The 2024 Buick Envista was designed to be cheap, but only in terms of money.
The all-new subcompact SUV will be the brand's new entry-level model when it goes on sale this summer alongside the Encore GX, Envision and Enclave.
The South Korea-made Envista starts at $23,495 and tops out at $29,695 for the luxurious Avenir trim.
The Envista is built on the same platform as the upcoming Chevrolet Trax, which is Chevy's lowest-priced model, and is powered by a 136 hp turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine.

The Envista will be one of the last gasoline-powered models Buick introduces before it begins a planned transition to become an all-electric brand by 2030.
