What can you expect from the 2022 Buick Envision? The second-generation Envision made its debut in 2021, so there won’t be too many drastic changes for the 2022 model. However, there are some exciting tweaks to look forward to, especially if you’re a fan of driving in style. Here’s a rundown of the most important changes that Buick has made to the Envision and what remains the same.

Exterior Color Changes

Buick is making some small alterations to the exterior colors you can choose for your Envision. One new option will be Sapphire Metallic. The Dark Blue Moon Metallic hue available in the 2021 Envision is not an option for the new model year.

New Interior Options

For the 2022 Envision, Buick has added a few new liners while removing the air ionizer. You can now choose all-weather floor liners, all-weather floor mats, and a cargo area liner to provide your vehicle with additional protection. These new options are sure to be popular among families with young kids or people who take their Envision off the beaten path.

Stylish Driving With the Sport Touring Package

The Sport Touring package is a great choice for you if you enjoy some standout styling features on your Envision. The eye-catching ST exterior logo was already available with last year’s model, but Buick has included some new features for 2022.

You can now enjoy sport pedals when you sit behind the wheel, and there is red-stitched leather seating throughout the cabin. The ST logo is also added to the floor mats and headrests.

These small upgrades come in addition to all of the unique styling features the Sport Touring package has to offer. These include 20-inch wheels with a dark finish, the ST exterior badge, and a dark grille surround. Customers adding the Sport Touring package also benefit from sleek black roof rails and body-colored door handles. You also get a rear cargo compartment cover, dark gloss window trims, wheel arch moldings, and exhaust bezels.

Engine and Performance for the 2022 Envision

Buick sticks with its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the Envision. It can put out 228 horsepower and is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Envision comes standard with front-wheel drive, but you can upgrade to all-wheel drive if you want.

This power train helps the Envision achieve impressive gas mileage for a compact SUV. Front-wheel-drive Envisions manage 24 mpg in the city and 31 mpg at highway speeds. Even adding all-wheel drive only reduces gas mileage to 22 mpg and 29 mpg, respectively.

Seating and Cargo Options

The two-row Envision has ample room for five adult passengers. Like the 2021 model, the base setup features cloth upholstery with synthetic leather accents. You can opt to add more luxury to the cabin with leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

You’ll find over 25 cubic feet of storage space behind the second row. That’s plenty of space to carry a large load of groceries or small household items. Bulkier pieces can be accommodated if you fold down the rear row of seats, which opens up about 52 cubic feet of space behind the front row.

Infotainment and Technology

The Envision’s standard infotainment setup includes an 8-inch screen. A larger 10.25-inch unit is available as part of the technology package upgrade. Other standard features include four USB ports, Bluetooth, and a wireless hot spot so you can stay connected. You and your passengers can listen to music or podcasts with the 2022 Envision’s six-speaker stereo. If you want a higher-performance audio system, check out the seven-speaker and nine-speaker premium stereos on offer. You can also add a navigation system to make it easier for you to reach your destination.

The 2022 Envision retains the 2021 Envision’s long list of standard safety features. The rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert provide you with the tools to maneuver in and out of parking spots safely. The Envision also features forward collision warning and pedestrian detection systems to alert you if a person or vehicle up ahead is threatening to cause an accident. If you cannot quickly respond to these alerts, the Buick Envision’s automatic emergency braking feature can bring your SUV to a prompt stop.

The Lane Keep Assist with Departure Warning will help you navigate highway driving. If you have a teenager in the family who is learning to drive, you can impose limits on how they use your Envision with the Teen Driver system. For example, you can limit how loud the stereo can play or how fast the vehicle can travel.

If you want this SUV’s full range of safety features, there are a few optional add-ons worth considering. The surround-view parking camera gives you an aerial view of your Envision to make parking a breeze. A head-up display providing you with all the information you need about your vehicle’s performance is also on offer. Finally, Adaptive Cruise Control can assist you in maintaining a steady speed on the highway and maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles in front of you.
