The editor recently saw an interesting data. Powerful American cars, especially the Buick brand, are very popular among Chinese people. In the past January, a total of 17,373 Buick Envision series products were sold, and it took only 31 days to win the title of champion SUV. This shows that consumers really have a soft spot for American SUVs.
Recently, the Buick Envision S was priced at 139,900. How competitive is this price? Some people say that the price-performance ratio exceeds that of Toyota RAV4. The editor will take a look at this car today.
In terms of appearance, the Buick Envision S body dimensions are 4641x1883x1638mm in length, width, and height respectively. The Buick logo on the top of the car is paired with daytime running lights on both sides. The large "eight-shaped" chrome grille on the bottom is paired with full LED headlights on both sides. The small machine grille at the bottom is inlaid with a chrome trim strip. The entire front of the car looks really grand.
From the side, the car body has a descending waistline running through it. The bottom is surrounded by a large black area and is decorated with a chrome trim strip in the middle. It is equipped with 235/55 R18 tires and has a wheelbase of 2779mm. The entire body side looks relatively slender, in line with the style of an American car.

The editor recently saw an interesting data. Powerful American cars, especially the Buick brand, are very popular among Chinese people. In the past January, a total of 17,373 Buick Envision series products were sold, and it took only 31 days to win the title of champion SUV. This shows that consumers really have a soft spot for American SUVs.
Recently, the Buick Envision S was priced at 139,900. How competitive is this price? Some people say that the price-performance ratio exceeds that of Toyota RAV4. The editor will take a look at this car today.
In terms of appearance, the Buick Envision S body dimensions are 4641x1883x1638mm in length, width, and height respectively. The Buick logo on the top of the car is paired with daytime running lights on both sides. The large "eight-shaped" chrome grille on the bottom is paired with full LED headlights on both sides. The small machine grille at the bottom is inlaid with a chrome trim strip. The entire front of the car looks really grand.
From the side, the car body has a descending waistline running through it. The bottom is surrounded by a large black area and is decorated with a chrome trim strip in the middle. It is equipped with 235/55 R18 tires and has a wheelbase of 2779mm. The entire body side looks relatively slender, in line with the style of an American car.
There is a large-sized rear wing above the car with a high-mounted brake light in the middle. The Buick logo in the middle is matched with the rear taillights on both sides. The bottom is surrounded by a large black area and has dual exhaust decorations on both sides. The real exhaust is hidden underneath, and the entire rear of the car has a very good sense of hierarchy.
In terms of interior, the top of the Buick Envision S center console is wrapped with a large area of leather with stitching, and a dual-screen design is embedded in the middle. One of them is a 30-inch OLED central control screen and a full LCD instrument. The steering wheel is a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel, which has a good grip. However, things like 360-degree panoramic images and electric rear tailgate are equipped with simple configurations, which shouldn't be the case.
In terms of space performance, Buick Envision S uses imitation leather seats. The entire seat is thickly padded and the ride comfort is good. The editor is 173cm tall and weighs 56kg. After adjusting the front row to a suitable sitting position, the headroom in the front row is about 2 inches. Keep the front seat position unchanged and enter the back row. The legroom in the rear row is 2 fists and the headroom in the rear row is 1 fist and 3 fingers. Open the trunk, and the entire space is relatively neat. The rear seats can be folded down in a 40:60 ratio, and the cargo capacity is once again improved.
In terms of power performance, the Buick Envision S is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, matched with a 9-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power of 155kW (211Ps) and a peak torque of 270N·m. The official acceleration time from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is 8.4 seconds. For a medium-sized SUV, this acceleration capability is quite good, especially when traveling in urban areas. The acceleration capability after the turbine is involved is also good.
The chassis adopts front MacPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the overall tuning style is sporty. In terms of sound insulation and quietness, the noise of this car is well controlled, with only slight tire noise transmitted into the car. In terms of fuel consumption, the editor measured the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers to be 9.3L when driving at 50/50 speed on expressways and congested roads in Taiyuan City.
The editor feels that the appearance of this Buick Envision S is highly recognizable, the interior materials are good, the seats are comfortable, the space is large enough, and the power performance is OK. However, the fuel consumption is a little higher, and compared to older models, it also has more simple features. Therefore, judging from the current selling price starting at 139,900, the editor does not recommend everyone to buy it.
To put it bluntly, this car is a typical American car style, with advantages and disadvantages. The exterior and interior do have a sense of quality, and the space and power are sufficient, but the problems with fuel consumption and simple configuration are more obvious. If you particularly like the luxury of American cars and are not too sensitive to fuel consumption, this car is not out of the question. However, there are too many choices at the same price range. The Japanese RAV4, the German Tuyue, and even the self-owned brand Haval H6 are all strong competitors.
When buying a car, it still depends on your personal needs. If you have the money and willfulness, go directly to a higher-level model; if you have a limited budget, carefully compare the advantages and disadvantages of each before making a decision. After all, buying a car is not shopping for groceries. It will last for several years, so it is better to be cautious.
