A few days ago, SAIC-GM Buick’s new model – 2024 Envision S. As a mid-term model, the 2024 Envision S is finally no longer a small upgrade, but a major overhaul of the appearance and interior. I heard that the product power has also been greatly improved, but the entry threshold has also increased by 5,000 yuan, and the market guide price is 214,900 yuan – 239,900 yuan range. Let’s take a look at the changes in the new car!
Appearance
The 2024 Envision S rejects the design style of the 2023 model. The new model features a split headlight set, and the upward-sloping narrow daytime running lights are matched with arched ribs on the hood, which brings a sense of power to the front. At the same time, the logo in the middle of the front is also refreshed. The middle net shape has become more open, with a blackened woven mesh shape and matte trims on both sides to increase the momentum and appear to have a certain degree of tension. The front lip is also hemmed with chrome trim to further enhance the sporty feeling, and the overall style is more inclined to the Buick tram series. The posture on the side of the body is more rhythmic, with a segmented waist line and multi-spoke wheels. The taillight shape echoes the front face.
In terms of size, the 2024 Envision S is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, with a length, width and height of 4641/1883/1638 (1647) mm, respectively. Compared with the 2023 model’s 4662mm length, the new model is shortened by 21mm, but the 2779mm wheelbase is still the same as the 2023 model, so this change in length does not affect the ride space in the car.
Interior
When it comes to the interior, the 2024 Envision S is not sloppy. It adopts the latest family-style design, with a new three-frame, 30-inch integrated curved screen and Huaiblock design, and the sense of technology is instantly released. The new car is equipped with Buick eConnect intelligence system, and is equipped with 8155 smart chips, vehicle to everything, CarPlay, CarLife mobile phone interconnection functions, which improves the intelligent experience a lot. At the same time, the car is also equipped with 121-color ambient lights.
In terms of smart driving, it is equipped with the new eCruise intelligent driving assistance system, which enjoys 10 L2-level intelligent driving auxiliary features such as full-speed adaptive cruise, AEB automatic emergency braking, and LKA lane keeping assistance. The top version also adds lane centering, traffic sign recognition, and the third-generation APA automatic parking assistance system.
power
The 2024 Envision S offers 1.5T and 2.0T power configurations, both of which also join the 48V light hybrid system. Among them, the 1.5T model is still equipped with a maximum power of 155kW, and the 2.0T model is equipped with a maximum power of 174kW, both of which match the 9AT gearbox. The power performance of the new model is still so strong and easy to drive, and it also has good fuel economy. The WLTC operating condition of the 1.5T model has a combined fuel consumption of 7.3L/100km; the WLTC operating condition of the 2.0T model has a combined fuel consumption of 7.23L/100km. The most important thing is to "drink" No. 92 gasoline, which is really fragrant.
Car comparison
2024 Envision S launched a total of 3 models, the entry price of 214,900 yuan, with the middle version with the same 1.5T + 9AT + 48V power combination, compared with the two, the middle version of the increase in the electric trunk, front mobile phone wireless charging, leather seats, the main and co-pilot 4, front seat heating, 121 color ambient light, the price also increased by 8000 yuan.
Let’s take a look at the top version, equipped with 2.0T + 9AT + 48V power combination, faster acceleration response and lower fuel consumption. Compared with the middle version, the high version has configuration, lane centering, traffic sign recognition and the third-generation APA automatic parking assistance system protection, 3 more cameras, 8 more radars and 4 new millimeter wave radars, that is to say, the care in smart driving is more complete, of course, the price has also increased a lot, to add 17,000 yuan on the basis of the middle version, the price is 239,900 yuan.
Love Review
Although the new energy market is in deep trouble, it has not weakened the sales of fuel vehicles, especially SUV models. In the recent rankings, fuel SUVs still have the upper hand. Among the many joint venture brands, Buick Envision is also deeply loved by many consumers because of its reputation and product strength. Buick’s choice to launch 2024 Envision S models during this time period may be a normal decision, but the price positioning is not dominant among the same models.
