If it weren’t for China, Buick may not have survived GM’s major transformation back in the late 2000s. The Chinese-built Envision is a compact SUV that looks quite nice, especially now with refreshed styling inside and out, a new infotainment system and available Super Cruise hands-free driving assist technology. The turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine under the hood delivers 228 horsepower through a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Pros
- Pleasant design
- Good ride comfort

Cons
- Cargo volume below segment average
