Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2026 Buick Envista
1st generation (2024-present), third U.S. model year; no redesign or mid-cycle refresh identified for 2026.
Buick positions the Envista as a style-first small SUV for shoppers who want something that looks more upscale than a typical entry crossover without moving into a larger or much pricier vehicle. The brand’s messaging centers on sleek coupe-like proportions, everyday usefulness for five people, good fuel economy, and easy-to-use cabin tech. Its main draw is that it blends a premium-looking shape with straightforward controls, standard safety tech, and city-friendly size.
The Preferred is the straightforward everyday Envista, with an 11-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an 8-inch driver display. Sport Touring adds bold black trim and blue cabin accents, while the more luxurious Avenir has heated leather-appointed front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power liftgate.
