Buick today provided a glimpse of the upcoming new 2024 Envision mid-size, two-row SUV for the US and Canada, which introduces a slightly refreshed design inside and out, and adds Super Cruise to the brand. This is the first time that Buick drivers will have the option to use Super Cruise1, the industry’s first true hands-free driver assistance system, compatible on more than 644,000 km of highways in the US. and Canada. Additional vehicle details and more information on the new 2024 Envision will be released later in the year. AutoInformed bets it will be priced ~US $34,000 to ~+$50,000 for the five trim levels.

The Envision is the third of five new vehicles Buick is debuting through 2024. Buick claims it has become the fastest-growing mainstream brand in the US with sales up ~76% through May 2023. In Canada, Envision sales are up ~78.5% through May 2023. The current Envision has achieved its highest ever retail sales over the first half of 2023 and is on track to have its best sales year ever in the US and Canada as North American demand for luxury SUVs continues unabated.
Envision is between the smaller Encore/Encore GX and the larger Enclave with 52.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind first-row seats and 25.2 cubic feet behind the second-row seats. Whether the small 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is a luxury engine is debatable even with the current model’s 228 horsepower (170 kW) and 258 lb.-ft. of torque (350 Nm), direct injection and Stop/Start technology. It’s coupled to a nine-speed automatic transmission with electronic shift control.
