Quiet, composed, and packed with premium features, the 2022 Buick Envision is a remarkably attractive and affordable compact luxury SUV. Priced lower than other luxury SUVs, this dynamic automobile also competes ably against mainstream rivals such as the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox.

Powertrain

Test drive a 2022 Buick Envision at our ‘Buick dealer near me’ and you’ll have three trims to consider, all of which equip a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 230 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

By comparison, the only engine available for the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that tops out at 170hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. Also superior is the 2022 Buick Envision model’s smooth nine-speed transmission, which you might prefer to the 2022 Chevy Equinox model’s more basic six-speed automatic gearbox.

Cabin

If a plush cabin is a priority for your next new vehicle, the Buick 2022 Envision is ahead of its competition. Clean and classy, this luxury SUV’s cabin looks and feels great, and gets high marks for its intuitive tech systems. Moreover, the 2022 Buick Envision excels at softening road bumps and holes, as well as minimizing wind and road noise.

On the other hand, you might find that the cabin of the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox doesn’t measure up in terms of materials quality, especially given its price tag. Also, this Chevy SUV’s cargo area is one of the smallest in the segment.

Performance

Performance is another area where the 2022 Buick Envision excels. After applying for our latest Buick financing, test drive this premium SUV and thrill to its 0-60 time of 7.7-seconds. Confidence is ensured via a responsive gas pedal and quality brakes. Moreover, the composed and controlled 2022 Buick Envision handles well whether you’re on the highway or local roads.

As for the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, the combination of a less powerful engine and a rather basic transmission results in a subpar 8.9-second 0-60 time. Also, while this SUV’s brakes are satisfactory, you might decide that its steering is slow and that its overall performance is sluggish.

You can keep your new Buick Envision in top performance shape with routine maintenance from our GM Certified Service center

The right Buick mechanic can make all the difference when it comes to keeping your vehicle in top shape. That’s why our team here at Starling Buick GMC is dedicated to forging lifelong relationships with Venice drivers. With our expert technicians, you can rest assured knowing your car is in good hands. Here are some important questions to ask your Buick mechanic:

What Certifications Do You Have? There are different auto shop certifications available, but the most popular is the Automotive Service Excellence or ASE certification. You want to know that your team is qualified and vetted, so always inquire about their pertinent certifications.

Can You Repair My Buick Vehicle? It’s best to schedule service with a team that knows your vehicle’s make and model well. That means they’ll be able to inspect, diagnose, and repair any problems with an expert eye. If you go to an auto shop without Buick expertise, you could be walking into more problems.

Do You Offer Free Estimates? It’s a good idea to compare estimates and repair options, just to make sure you’re getting the best price for your needs. Make sure the service center provides free estimates before sharing information about your vehicle. You also always want to make sure you get the estimate in writing. Our trustworthy techs will always treat you right.

What Parts Do You Offer and Use? Different dealerships and service centers have different parts policies. Some mechanics use aftermarket or used parts. Ask about parts warranties and guarantees, as well. Not all pre-owned parts are a dealbreaker, but you want to know in advance. As always, OEM parts are always the best choice.

The team here at Starling Buick GMC is here to take care of your Buick vehicle. Schedule a maintenance appointment today!
