Even at the base level, the Buick Envista delivers a near-premium cabin at a budget price. The Preferred trim gets cloth seats with leatherette bolstering in either Ebony or Slate. Upgrading to the ST brings full leatherette seating in Ebony with Santorini Blue accenting. At the Avenir level, customers can choose between Ebony leather with Terracotta stitching or the lighter Pebble Gray with Whisper stitching leather in our tester.
All trim levels get a nicely sized 11-inch HD color touchscreen with a simple but functional layout. This is not the top-tier General Motors infotainment system with Google built-in, but it includes all the important features such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and even a Wi-Fi hotspot. A second screen displays your gauges with two available design layouts. The Avenir brings niceties like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an eight-way power driver’s seat, a wireless phone charger, and more. The only important add-on is a $795 Advanced Safety Package that adds on rain-sensing wipers, adaptive cruise control, lane change alert, blind spot monitoring, heated exterior mirror, and rear cross-traffic alert.
