Expert reviews: 

The 2019 Buick Envision’s more powerful engine, improved transmission, and lower price tag pique our interest.

Attractive styling
Should still be very quiet
Lower price helps
9-speed automatic could aid fuel economy, engine response

Cons
Turbo is AWD-only
Price climbs fast
Narrow interior
Doesn’t do much to stand out
