Buick vehicles have long been associated with quiet rides and silent cabins. The Envision, assembled in China, is no exception to this rule thanks to the noise reduction system.
Parents magazine mentions the excellence of the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission, but take note that this unit is reserved for the more upscale versions. In the other trim levels, the driver has to make do with a naturally-aspirated 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and a 6-speed transmission.
