Having entered the market for the 2024 model-year, the Buick Envista is another of the interesting new entries in the subcompact SUV segment. And in its case, as is the norm with Buick, the priority is on the styling. With its sleek, coupe-like design, the Envista looks more expensive than it is. 

Beyond that, it shares its platform with the Chevrolet Trax, so it offers a spacious interior for the segment and a comfortable ride. 

While in an ideal world the Envista would be offered with an all-wheel drive powertrain, the little SUV remains a great choice for those who want a stylish subcompact SUV that’s relatively reasonably priced.
