Revived 2019 Buick Envision gets more honed edges, discretionary nine-speed transmission

Following year and a half available in the United States, the Buick Envision had its spot as the third-top of the line vehicle among Buick's eight models, opening in behind the Encore and Enclave. January deals this year hopped 13.7-percent year-over-year, only a couple of hundred behind the Enclave. Presently, the Chinese-made smaller SUV gets an unassuming makeover, however purchasers of the 2019 Buick Envision should reach up into the upper trims to get to the best of what's new. 

The enormous mechanical overhaul accompanies the alternative of GM's Hydra-Matic 9T50 nine-speed programmed rather than standard the six-speed. Notwithstanding, that has all the earmarks of being constrained to only two of the five accessible Envision trims: Premium I and Premium II. The base, Preferred, and Essence models stay with the six-speed as it were. 

Configuration changes revolve around the front and back belts. The grille theme changes to a be-winged Buick token - in tri-shading spec, not monochrome - over the past waterfall, coordinating that of the kin hybrids. The lower front sash gets redrawn, with the haze lights at the edges now sitting in square breaks with improved chrome trim and more honed edges on the guard. Premium trims climb from HID projectors to bi-LED headlights, while the other three trims shed their composite incandescent lamp for HID lights. 

As indicated by the 2019 request manage, Ebony seats with Dark Plum inside accents leave the menu, supplanted by Dark Galvanized calfskin seats with Ebony trim. White inside lighting will enlighten the instrument board and entryway trim, supplanting Ice Blue, and solace/comfort changes come as remote telephone charging, a lodge air ionizer and a catch to close off the stop-begin framework. The last would be a significant update as it's been a typical grievance logged against so-prepared GM vehicles. 

In back, plan components get more honed edges, and the taillights change to slimmer LED units. Planners have concealed the single fumes outlet on the lower three trims with the base, 197-torque 2.5-liter motor. It creates the impression that picking the discretionary, 252-hp 2.0-liter motor will be distinguished by double rectangular fumes finishers rather than the round tips of earlier years. 

Outside hues hold enduring at six, yet Midnight Amethyst Metallic offers approach to Satin Steel Gray Metallic, and the present 19-inch wheels get supplanted with two new outlines. The 2019 Buick Envision has effectively gone marked down in China, and should achieve U.S. merchants in April.
