Interior Style & Features

The 2021 Buick Envision offers a perfect balance of timeless luxury and cutting-edge features. It starts with classic wood accents, leather seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Next, you’ll be able to kick back and relax with 8-way power-adjustable front seats.

Once you fire up the engine, you’ll see the sleek touchscreen that comes with the Buick Infotainment System. An 8-inch screen comes standard, but a 10.2-inch screen is also available. The system can help you stream music, stay in touch, and find the fastest route with the following features:

• Bluetooth®
• Apple CarPlay®
• Android Auto™
• Navigation
• 4G LTE Wi-Fi® Hotspot

The Envision also makes it easy to find information while you drive, thanks to an available 8-inch Driver Information Center.

The Chevy Equinox offers many of the same smartphone-compatible features as the Buick Envision, but it doesn’t feature the same cabin feel. For example, power-adjustable seats aren’t standard and wood accents aren’t even available. Plus, its technology is tougher to see with a 3.5-inch Driver Information Center and a 7-inch dashboard monitor.

Safety Features

In addition to offering a smooth, comfortable ride, the Buick Envision also offers peace of mind. It helps prevent accidents with a series of smart safety features. These driver-assist technologies give you more awareness while you drive. Some of the ones that come standard include:

• Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Forward Collision Alert
• Front Pedestrian Braking

You’ll also be able to see what’s around your Envision SUV using the standard and available camera systems. The HD Rear Vision Camera lets you get a better look at things when you’re backing up, while the HD Surround Vision system gives you a 360-degree bird’s eye view.

The Chevy Equinox also offers an overhead camera, as well as some similar safety technology. Unfortunately, features like a Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert don’t come standard.

Performance Specs

To power this luxury SUV, the 2021 Buick Envision runs on a 2.0L ECOTEC 4-cylinder engine. It lives up to its name by delivering an efficient performance; plus, this turbocharged powertrain can deliver up to 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. To harness that kind of sporty output, the Envision is equipped with a versatile 9-speed automatic transmission.

On the other hand, you won’t find as much power under the hood of the Chevy Equinox. Its 1.5L 4-cylinder engine is not only smaller, it’s also not as much fun to drive with only 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. You also won’t get the same sort of capable performance with its 6-speed automatic transmission.
