The competition in the 200,000-level mid-size SUV market has always been fierce, and many luxury brands are constantly exploring their layouts in the hope of gaining more market share. In this eye-catching red ocean, there is a model that has taken the lead in breaking through the siege. After ten years of development, it has successfully established the value benchmark of "mid-size SUV" and gained millions of car owners. Its unparalleled price advantage makes this model almost unrivaled in the same class - it is Buick Envision. And just this year, the new generation of Envision Plus models under the Buick brand have also been officially launched, with a total of three models launched. The new car starts with 2.0T, and the standard configuration is full, not only is the purchase tax completely exempted, but the terminal price is even less than 200,000.
Leading the future with intelligence and evolving with strength, the new generation of Envision Plus builds technological strength
Looking back to 2014, at the foot of the Xiling Snow Mountain, the all-round mid-size SUV Buick Envision made its global debut, officially opening a new era for mid-size SUVs. From Envision to Envision S, and now to the new generation Envision Plus, it can be said that in the past ten years, the models have been constantly updated and iterated, and gradually evolved from a brand model to a complete series.
It is a long and arduous process for a car model to go from idea to development to its launch. If we can accurately grasp the preferences of the general public for automobile products, it will not only determine whether the models launched in the future can be successful, but also help automobile brands incorporate consumer demands into existing product functions. Nowadays, young consumers have become the main group of car buyers. When choosing a car, they often care more about whether the model is attractive and intelligent. The emergence of the new generation of Envision Plus just meets their car purchase needs.
In terms of appearance, the new generation Envision Plus adopts Buick's flying eaves and wings front face design. The grille of the model extends horizontally, expanding the width of the front face. The headlight group adopts the currently popular split design, and the wing-shaped LED daytime running lights use light curtain technology to enhance the recognition of the model. Among them, the exclusive bird-wing LED adaptive matrix headlights of Avenir have 8 lighting modes, which can intelligently distribute light sources when turning and meeting the front car.
The whole series of cars are also equipped with eConnect smart cockpit as standard, with the new generation of VIP smart electronic architecture, EYEMAX 30-inch curved 6K screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip and other hardware support, and support vehicle system-level OTA upgrade. The new voice engine has a wake-up response time of only 0.3 seconds, and can complete 10 vehicle machine commands in 25 seconds; the voice customization function supports free combination of up to 37 vehicle control functions, and wakes up with one word after getting in the car; with massive interconnected ecological content, as well as Apple CarPlay wireless mapping, wireless mobile phone charging and other configurations equipped in the whole series, it brings us a fully upgraded smart connection experience.
In terms of intelligent driving, the new generation Envision Plus is equipped with eCruise L2 intelligent assisted driving technology, providing 14 auxiliary functions including ACC full-speed adaptive cruise control and APA automatic parking. Among them, LCC intelligent lane centering assist has newly upgraded the congestion assist function, which can greatly reduce the driver's fatigue in congested urban road conditions. In addition, the 360° high-definition panoramic image has newly upgraded the low-speed start function, together with the HUD head-up display, hand-held electronic gearshift, high-definition streaming media rearview mirror, seat vibration safety prompts and other technological configurations, further improving our daily travel safety.
Comfortable and spacious + free riding, unlocking a new experience of a better life
Of course, the new generation Envision Plus has been upgraded in terms of exterior design and technological intelligence, and it also leads the market with its driving comfort and abundant power. Its interior uses a lot of soft-touch premium leather and high-end skin-friendly materials, and the soft package area is 30% larger than that of the same-level models. In addition, the seats in the car also use a patented double-hardness foaming process, so we will not feel tired even on long rides.
In addition, the second row of passengers in the car is also very comfortable. Not only is the seat cushion very thick, but the floor of the car has also been partially adjusted, making it appear lower overall, which also provides a better riding experience for rear passengers. It is worth mentioning that the trunk space in the car is also very spacious, with a maximum volume of 1531L, which can easily meet the needs of short-distance intercity travel and self-driving travel for the whole family, and you can set off calmly even with a lot of equipment.
In terms of power, the new generation Envision Plus is equipped with the eighth-generation Ecotec 2.0T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine and the 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent transmission, which are the "double top ten" power combinations. The entire series is equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system, which takes into account strong power, smooth output, fuel saving and environmental protection. When the model is driving, whether it is the steering wheel or the accelerator pedal, the overall performance is very light. In addition, the model also provides a variety of driving modes to choose from. When the model is in sports mode, the power of the model will become very abundant, and the acceleration performance is also very timely. With the use of shift paddles, we can easily feel the passion of driving freely.
In terms of chassis, the new generation Envision Plus adopts a strut-type front suspension + multi-link independent rear suspension. At the same time, the front subframe adopts a six-point full-frame design to connect with the body, which increases the body rigidity and stability, making the car's grip stronger overall. And combined with the intelligent four-wheel drive system and multi-mode driving system, the model can effectively cope with various complex road conditions, and will not make people feel too much bounce when we drive through speed bumps and bumpy roads in our daily life.
In addition, the new generation Envision Plus is also committed to creating a full-sensory high-quality travel experience. It inherits Buick's quiet product DNA, and the entire series is equipped with ANC active noise reduction technology as standard, successfully creating a quiet cockpit like a library. It is also equipped with 5mm double-layer acoustic glass, LASD liquid sound insulation damping sheet, high-density EVA vibration isolation pad and other advanced silent materials, which further improves and optimizes the acoustic quality of the whole vehicle.
Summarize:
If going from 0 to 1 is a breakthrough and innovation, then going from 1 to 1,000,000 is continuous evolution and persistence. Whether it is appearance, configuration, space, or power, the new generation of Envision Plus is paying tribute to its millions of car owners with a strong attitude. We hope that in the future, the model will continue to grow, bring a more pleasant mobile travel life experience to the public, and embark on a new journey of "strength" with more car owners.
