The Envista is an all-new replacement for the Encore, Buick's previous subcompact SUV.
This front-wheel-drive hatchback with a slightly elevated ride height fits below the Encore GX in Buick's lineup and is mechanically similar to the Chevrolet Trax.
The sole engine is a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder that supplies strong midrange torque, but the power delivery is often uneven, with either too much or too little acceleration.
Fuel economy is decent at 29 mpg overall.
The six-speed automatic isn't the smoothest, and neither is the ride.
Handling is unexciting but secure.
The cabin is a bit drab, but it's quite roomy and the controls are easy to use.
BSW and RCTW are optional.
