I can only comment on one issue, number 2. I keep a micro fibre cloth there to clean dust from the screen and piano black parts, they both will scratch easily so a micro fibre cloth is a must. I keep my key fob in my pants pocket 24/7.

 

Thanks, Digmor, I did buy a pack of microfibre cloths and keep a few in the car, mostly for drying after a car wash but I will keep one aside for dusting and especially to clean the fingerprints off the touchscreen.

 

I do love my 2023 Envision ST but I have a few comments and tweaks for improvement:
1. There is a lack of colour in the gauges on the dashboard. The gas gauge could benefit from a colour gradation to show a full versus empty tank. The gearshift gauge shows the D for drive in red and it's a bit difficult to see it.
2. What is the purpose of the storage spot under the centre console? What do you use it for? I was leaving my remote there while driving but I found I was forgetting it when I would exit the vehicle, so I keep it on my person.
To that end, where does everyone leave their key fob while they're driving?
3. I don't like how the Bluetooth connection may mute the audio intermittently. Someone told me it's a Bluetooth issue but I have also noticed it when I have plugged in my phone via USB so it must be something else causing the problem. My 2011 Equinox had a 3.5 mm auxiliary cable which I used for audio and it never cut out. I listen to music all the time so these little outages are annoying.
4. The gas tank as well as the rear cargo space are smaller than my Equinox so I am missing that... I did buy this vehicle because I thought it was comparable in size so this is not a huge factor.
5. The heads-up display seems to flash at random. This has occurred twice. I wonder if it's because someone is approaching too close on the side. I have had a few people cut me off on the highway lately...
Would love to hear any feedback or suggestions for some of these, if you have any. Thanks in advance!

To #2 I have wondered about that spot under the center console. Sometimes I put stuff there if I chance to have someone in passenger seat. My key fob is in the drink well on center console.
#4 my Envision gas tank is slightly bigger than my 428i BMW was
#5 my heads-up display flashes when someone cuts in front of me OR if someone stops suddenly in front of me, needing to stop.

 

Totally agree on the gauge colors and Bluetooth drops. I keep my fob in my pocket too!

 

I own a 2025 Buick Envision and as for question 2.. what is the purpose of the storage spot under the center console??? Well I live in Wisconsin and I find it a perfest spot to store my leather insulated gloves. I leave them there all the time just in case I should need them.....I also leave a micro fiber towel in that location for a veritey of reasons... Very easy to access this area. In the way back I purchased 2 red cloth covered boxes that can be colapsed to lay flat.... in those boxes I cary a few supplies for keeping the car clean. I purshased these at Menards for under $5 each. I will even put some grocery bags or milk container in them to keep grocery items from moving. I keep my key fob in my pocket but if I were on a long drive I would put them in the location in front of the cup holders... I need both my cup holders for holdilng drinks.

 

I have the prior generation Envision, a 2018 and am thinking about a 2025 or 25. All this is good to know. The prior generation has a number of items that were improved in the '23 and beyond like you have a 9 speed auto and mine has the 6 speed. None the less it has been a very good car, comfortable, trouble free, enough power, competent handling and safe. The fit and finish has been superior even to the 2014 Equinox it replaced which was manufactured in Canada. I miss the extra space in the Equinox since it was on a larger platform. I also miss the punch of the 3.6L V6. I have found the trade off between the two operationally expense wise comparable since I use premium in the Envision while regular in the Equinox. The additional mileage per gallon offsets the extra cost of premium. However, the Equinox ran fine on regular but the Envision with higher compression of the 2.0L does not. The thing I dislike the most about the Envision are the projector beam headlights (Halogen). Where they were super in the Equinox they are terrible in this years Envision. I hate night driving because they do not illuminate the road enough.
