2018 Buick Envision vs. Its Competition

Andrew Ganz Andrew Ganz Senior Editor

The five-seat Buick Envision is priced and sized against some formidable competition.

Its broad range stretches between mass-market and luxury brands, meaning it can square off against a Ford Edge or Nissan Murano all the way up to a Lexus RX or Volvo XC60.

Against the Ford and Nissan, the Buick provides a quieter ride and a few more luxury features.

The Lexus and Volvo are more stylish, but also a bit pricier once options are added on.

Throw in the versatile Jeep Grand Cherokee for a full day of shopping.

7.0
The 2018 Ford Edge has an eager feel and crisp design; safety scores and Sport ride quality give pause.

The Lexus RX makes a style-conscious statement like never before, and it hasn’t lost its grip on good manners.
6.7
