Buick Envision Performance Overview
Buick’s compact Envision spans 2017 to 2022 here across 8 verified tests, charting a consistent turbocharged gasoline performance profile through two generations. In 1st Gen form (2016–2020), the model used the 252-hp LTG turbo-four exclusively in the tested examples, opening with a 7.0-second 0-60 run from the 2017 Premium I before improving to 6.8 seconds in the 2018 Premium II and then 6.6 seconds in the 2019 Premium II. That first generation averaged 6.93 seconds to 60 mph, establishing the quicker baseline for the nameplate’s early U.S. run.
The 2nd Gen, launched for 2021, shifted to the 228-hp LSY turbo-four and remained gasoline-only in the available test data. Despite the lower output, the early redesign produced the model line’s best result: the 2021 Essence (Sport Touring) reached 60 mph in 6.5 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 15.1 seconds at 94 mph. Later 2nd Gen results widened, with the 2022 Avenir posting 7.5 seconds to 60 mph. As tested today, the Envision sits in a narrow overall band from 6.5 to 7.5 seconds, with the current generation’s best unchanged at 6.5 seconds.
