Choose the Envision Sport Touring for value or the Avenir for comfort

The Sport Touring starts at $43,500 and the Avenir at $50,700 (Buick, 2026 model year). The Sport Touring is the value pick. The Avenir is the trim to choose when you want the top Envision, with the most standard equipment. At Group 1 Buick GMC North we sell new Envision inventory, so you can sit in both trims before you decide.

How much more does the Envision Avenir cost than the Sport Touring?

The Avenir starts at $50,700, which is $7,200 above the Sport Touring’s $43,500 starting price (Buick, 2026 model year). That gap is the question for most Houston shoppers. Figures like these are starting MSRPs, so the price you pay will depend on the vehicle and the deal. At Group 1 Buick GMC North, you can start a secure online finance application to see your options for either trim, so the price gap turns into a monthly number you can check.

What do you get with each Buick Envision trim, and at what price?

The Envision starts at $41,000 for the Preferred, then steps up to $43,500 for the Sport Touring and $50,700 for the Avenir (Buick, 2026 model year). Every 2026 Envision AWD trim uses the same gasoline engine, rated 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, so the trims differ in equipment and price, not in power. Every Envision comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 6-year/100,000-mile corrosion warranty, each whichever comes first (Buick, 2026 model year). The Envision AWD is rated 22 city, 28 highway and 25 combined mpg (EPA).

When is the Sport Touring or the Avenir the wrong Envision trim for you?

The Envision is 182.7 inches long, so buyers who need a larger SUV should look at the Enclave in our lineup. Buyers who want the lowest starting price in the Envision line can start with the Preferred at $41,000 and compare it with the Sport Touring side by side.
