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

The Bolt EUV is a brand-new model for Chevrolet. It's currently sold alongside the redesigned Bolt EV hatchback.
