2015 Buick Envision first view

China is an immensely important market for Buick, which explains why the brand has created the Envision specifically for that country.

Measuring 4,667 mm (183.7”) long, the midsize newcomer will fill a gap in Buick’s SUV range between the existing subcompact Encore and full-size Enclave.

For now, specification details are sparse, but power is going to come from a 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol engine. Featuring direct injection and a stop-start system, it develops 256 bhp (191 kW / 260 PS) with 353 Nm (260 lb/ft) of peak torque. That output will be sent to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.

Buick has also announced that the Envision’s Chinese name is ‘Ang Ke Wei’. Sales are due to begin later this year.
