The Buick Envision is an important player for GM’s premium brand. In 2021, it accounted for nearly one in three Buicks sold, and considering how popular two-row premium midsize SUV are, it should represent a bigger piece of Buick’s sales pie.
The second-generation Envision was introduced for the 2021 model year with a far less timid design, and based on these spy shots, the updated-for-2024 Buick SUV will dawn another new attitude. And with it, perhaps garner even more buyers.
As usual, the spied prototype is covered in black-and-white camo and heavy vinyl covers to mask the vehicle as much as possible. Despite the disguise, we can see hints of the Buick Wildcat concept released last summer, and shades of the new Envista – unveiled in China in late August – especially up front.
The most notable elements, though, are the headlights. Though they may be almost entirely covered, they seem slimmer and positioned higher than they previously were. The whole front fascia looks squatter and larger. In fact, the prototype’s camo gives the impression that the grille will be wider, due largely to the visible flat and angular cut line where the hood meets the bumper.

Overall, this Envision prototype clearly has tauter body lines, particularly where the front end meets with the fenders. Circling around the back past the sporty multi-spoke alloy wheels, we come to the SUV’s rear, where we find odd protruding taillamps that are impossible to ignore. We’re convinced that they are nothing more than placeholders, or mock-ups, and not indicative of the final design.
There are no images currently available that exhibit the new 2024 Buick Envision’s cabin. However, we think it’s safe to assume that it will not change as dramatically as the SUV’s exterior. Odds are that updates will be limited to little more than a fully-digital instrument panel and a larger infotainment display.
