For 2021 A more powerful AMG GLB 35 debuts.

Cons High ticket price No space-saving wheel Lacks some driver-assist systems
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.

When we know more about the Envision's standard and optional features, we'll update this story with results.
