Buick Envista
The Envista is a brand new addition to the Buick portfolio for 2024, replacing the popular Encore. It sports a coupe-like exterior but suffers from reduced visibility and rear-seat headroom—a classic case of form over function. The engine, meanwhile, is a perfect example of downsizing. We’re talking about a turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder producing a modest 136 horsepower. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. As a mostly urban crossover, the Envista comes with front-wheel drive only.
