Pros Powerful turbocharged engine Handsome updated styling Standard active safety tech
Cons Luxury Avenir trim will be expensive The brand doesn't command as much respect as some competitors
Buick has completely redesigned the Envision SUV for 2021, imbuing it with an eye-catching design that's far more handsome than the bland 2020 model featured.We haven't had the chance to sample the all-new Envision, but we suspect that the mid-range Essence model will likely satisfy most buyers. Those seeking a luxury ride with all the trimmings should turn their attention to the top-flight Avenir. When we know more about the Envision's standard and optional features, we'll update this story with results.
The redesigned 2021 Buick Envision comes with more standard features and a more stylish look.
Pros Good standard safety features Avenir trim More American-sized proportions Sharper style
Cons No word on price Will it have enough power? Is it bigger inside?
The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is no longer offered.Previous five trim levels reduced to three: Preferred, Essence and Avenir.Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
Pros Quiet interior at highway speeds Both the ride and the seats are comfortable Standard wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
Cons Disappointing real-world fuel economy Visibility is compromised by thick pillars Not much fun to drive
The Skoda Kamiq is an excellent small SUV with a spacious cabin and plenty of high-tech features that’s dead easy to drive and impressively comfortable.

Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but not especially interesting.

Cons It’s just so derivative, in a way the old Skoda Yeti wasn't
The Skoda Kamiq is everything good about Skoda wrapped up in a desirable small SUV package.
