The Envista from Buick offers a sleeker, coupe-like profile compared to boxier crossovers in its segment – think European-inspired lines. The Sport Touring trim adds gloss‑black 18‑inch wheels, blacked‑out side cladding, and LED lighting inside and out to complete the look.
Every 2025 Envista runs the turbocharged 1.2‑liter three‑cylinder gas engine, pumping out 137 hp and 162 lb‑ft through a smooth‑shifting 6‑speed automatic drivetrain. Fuel economy is 28 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway, with 30 miles per gallon combined.
Sport Touring buyers can option the Watts‑Link rear suspension, which gives this small crossover sharper handling and a more grounded feel – something any driver can appreciate. The drive is poised and light, with confident steering and solid feedback for its size .
Buick steps up the ambiance in the Sport Touring, with leatherette seats with colored stitching. The 11-inch HD infotainment screen is connected to a wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Like in many cars, there are heated seats, heated steering and active noise cancellation, which works great.
Legroom rivals lots of peers and beats Envista’s strongest competitors, with cargo space stretching to 42 cubic feet when the seats are folded. Speaking of seating, you can expect it’s going to be comfortable for four.
With a base around $25,300, the Sport Touring sits between the Preferred and Avenir trims, but expect well-equipped models to land around $30,000, packed with packages and options.
The safety tech is comprehensive, with automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, forward collision alert, and available upgrades like adaptive cruise. It’s a nice package of features which makes you feel nice and cozy like a blanket.
The 2025 Envista Sport Touring is a premium-looking small SUV with confident handling, upscale trims, and solid safety tech – all wrapped in a unique coupe-SUV silhouette with good fuel efficiency. So, if style, comfort, and tech are your priorities on a budget, the Envista is a smart choice.
