The redesigned model aims for a more premium feel than before, and its strongest points are stylish design, easy-to-use technology, and a comfortable cabin. The standout strength is Look and feel at 9/10.

The trade-offs are clear: performance is fairly pedestrian, cargo space is limited, and the stereo is lacking. Even so, the Envision fits you well if you want a comfort-focused premium compact SUV rather than a sportier one.

Is the 2021 Buick Envision reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2021 Envision is presented as a redesigned start to a new generation, and Buick’s changes mostly add to its appeal rather than complicate it. Its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is described as competent enough for daily drivability, and the cabin-focused design supports an easy ownership experience. The model’s comfort-first character and user-friendly tech also point to a vehicle that should be straightforward to live with.

Buick’s emphasis on refinement and convenience helps the Envision feel like a polished daily driver, and the available maintenance perk language suggests some ownership-friendly touches on certain trims. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a premium-leaning SUV with modest performance and limited cargo space may feel less satisfying if your needs grow beyond commuting and family errands.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Buick Envision?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on cabin condition, electronics, and signs of hard use, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on its comfort and tech. It also makes sense to confirm that the features you want are actually present, because trim differences matter here.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Preferred, Essence, and Avenir trims give the Envision distinct looks, and the Avenir adds a more upscale exterior treatment, leather-appointed seating with diamond perforated inserts, a head-up display, and other premium touches. If you want the best-value balance, the mid-grade Essence is the trim to compare most closely against the others.
• Powertrain: The Envision uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available, and the model is tuned more for comfortable daily drivability than for sporty acceleration.
• Safety package: Standard driver assistance includes a following distance indicator, forward-collision alert, front and rear park assist, lane change alert with blind-spot alert, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, rear-seat alert, automatic emergency braking, teen-driver monitoring, and Buckle to Drive. Adaptive cruise control and enhanced automatic park assist are available on Avenir models.
• Infotainment: The standard 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen is a highlight, and wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard. A 4.2-inch driver information screen is standard, with an available 8.0-inch display, and available upgrades include navigation, a rearview camera mirror, HUD, and wireless device charging.
• Fuel efficiency: Front-wheel-drive models are EPA-estimated at 24 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined, while all-wheel-drive versions are rated at 22 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined.

Which 2021 Buick Envision trim should I buy?

The 2021 Buick Envision is offered in 3 trim levels: Preferred, Essence, and Avenir.

Here's the short version:

• Preferred: This is the entry point, and it gives you the redesigned Envision’s core strengths without pushing the price too high. It’s the trim to consider if you want the Envision’s standard tech and comfort features at the lowest starting price.
• Essence: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it sits in the middle of the lineup and should give you a better balance of equipment and price than the base model or the top trim.
• Avenir: This is the most premium version, with the most upscale exterior and interior details, plus available features like adaptive cruise control and enhanced automatic park assist. It makes the most sense if you want the Envision to feel as close to a luxury SUV as possible.

Safety-related driver-assistance features are standard across the lineup, while adaptive cruise control and enhanced automatic park assist are reserved for Avenir models.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Buick Envision?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,159 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.69% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 81.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,571, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Buick Envision's resale value?

The current average of $21,571 sits slightly below last year's $23,368.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to favor buyers today, but it also means future sellers may need to be realistic about pricing if they want a quick sale. A softer market can pressure resale values in the short term, especially for a model with a premium-leaning badge but mainstream-sized demand. On the other hand, a well-kept Envision with the right equipment and a clean history should still attract shoppers who want comfort and upscale styling without paying luxury-brand prices.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Buick Envision safe?

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The Envision’s Buckle to Drive feature helps ensure the driver is buckled before the vehicle can be shifted out of park, and the standard driver-assistance list is broad for the class. You get forward-collision alert, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, blind-spot alert, rear cross-traffic alert, rear park assist, front park assist, rear-seat alert, teen-driver monitoring, and a following distance indicator. Adaptive cruise control and enhanced automatic park assist are available on Avenir models.

Because this is the start of a new generation, the usual crash-test ratings are not yet available for this model year.

Should I buy a 2021 Buick Envision or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.69% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesigned 2021 model brings a more competitive premium compact SUV feel, with stylish design and easy-to-use technology.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned Envision’s more polished look, comfortable cabin, and user-friendly tech, the 2021 is the right place to start. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can shop aggressively for a lower-mileage example or compare it against other years only if you’re willing to trade some of the redesign’s appeal for a different price point.
