Envision sales ended on a high note last year in the U.S. with an impressive 6056 vehicles sold in December alone and this month’s figures may even surpass that thanks to a January incentive Buick is offering.

These numbers may come as a surprise to those who were skeptical of how well a vehicle manufactured in China would do in North America. Concerns were raised over the model’s build quality and safety, but the latter turns out to be completely unfounded as the 2018 Buick Envision received a Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS.

Some customers have recognized just how much the Envision has to offer and decided to go with the SUV anyways, to the tune of 41,040 vehicles sold in 2017. A substantial increase compared to the 14,193 units sold in 2016.

With a $5,800 bonus cash allowance incentive along with and additional $750 in customer cash, January sales could help the Envision start off 2018 on the right foot. Qualified buyers who decide to finance can get 0% APR for 72 months plus and extra $1,500 if you decide to finance with GMF.

For a general list of incentives, GM Authority has you covered though more in depth information regarding this offering will require a visit to your local dealership.

The first couple of sales years are the best. But with the newly redesigned Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain sharing the same platform and offering a similar 2.0T as top engine but with 9-speed transmission.

We like them both but no rear sliding seat from the previous generation made the Envision a better price.
