GM China Drops More 2016 Buick Envision Photos
You saw it before; now see it with more clarity: GM China dropped a few more photos of its upcoming 2016 Buick Envision.
CarNewsChina reports the SUV will debut in September during the Chengdu Auto Show prior to going on sale sometime in Q4 2014. Pricing will range between ¥160,000 and ¥220,000 ($26,000 – $35,000 USD), and will be positioned between the Encore and Enclave.
Moving the SUV will be a pair of 2-liter four-pots giving either 200 horsepower/207 ft-lb torque or 260 horsepower/268 ft-lb torque to all four corners through a six-speed automatic. However, GM China is working on a turbo 1.5-liter with 170 horses, as well as a hybrid based upon said turbocharged engine, though no word on when either will turn up under the bonnet.
[WRITER’S NOTE: I originally reported the Envision as being front-wheel drive when I should have noted it was all-wheel drive. My apologies for the error.]

Ouch... and I otherwise LOVE the current Buicks. Is this another Rendezvous? Yeesh. The Encore is so much more interesting and young. This looks really frumpy.
If there's one thing I dislike more than CUVs, it's CUVs with FWD. What's the point? It's laughable to see a jacked up pseudo SUV spinning one front wheel in a light dusting of snow or whatever else. Image is king I suppose.
