The 2026 Buick Envista packs a 1.2L Turbo ECOTEC engine with 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, paired with a responsive 6-speed automatic transmission. This setup delivers brisk acceleration and smooth dynamics ideal for city streets and highway cruising alike.

**Fuel Economy:** The Envista achieves 28 city / 32 highway mpg, balancing performance with everyday efficiency-no compromise needed.

**Handling:** Its lighter frame, aerodynamic body style, and standard StabiliTrak(R) Electronic Stability Control make the Envista agile and confident in various road conditions. The low-mounted grille and power liftgate blend utility with sporty sophistication.

Compared to competitors, the Envista's refined tuning and smooth ride quality create a refined daily driver that's easy on fuel and fun to maneuver. Whether navigating tight urban environments or longer highway drives, the Envista handles both with composure.
