The Buick Envision can tow up to 1,500 lbs.* across all trim levels when properly equipped.

That 1,500-lb. towing capacity applies to every trim of the Envision, because they share the same 2.0L turbocharged engine and 9-speed automatic transmission. 

While 1,500 lbs.* of towing capability isn’t enough to haul heavy campers or large boats, it’s perfect for small utility trailers, ATVs, jet skis or bike/dirt bike trailers.

When towing a trailer:

• Follow all state and local laws that apply to trailer towing. These requirements vary from state to state.
• Install extended side view mirrors on your vehicle if your visibility is limited or restricted while towing. State laws may require the use of extended side view mirrors.
• Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500 mi) of vehicle use to prevent damage to the vehicle.
• Perform the first oil change before heavy towing.
• Do not drive over 80 km/h (50 mph) and do not make starts at full acceleration during the first 800 km (500 mi) of trailer towing.
• Tow in D (Drive). If equipped, Tow/Haul mode is recommended for heavier trailers. If the transmission downshifts too often, a lower gear may be selected using Manual mode.

Envision is a compact SUV that strikes a balance between interior space and maneuverability. 

That size offers several practical advantages:

This standard AWD setup helps give buyers built-in confidence in changing road conditions — whether it’s rain, snow or winding back roads.

The Buick Envision is a two-row SUV and seats five passengers comfortably.

The Envision is designed with a two-row seating configuration that comfortably seats up to five.

This layout helps keep the vehicle’s overall footprint more compact and manageable, helping to make it easier to maneuver in urban settings and park in tighter spots. At the same time, Envision offers generous front- and rear-seat legroom.

That said, for buyers needing more passenger capacity or expecting to carry more people regularly, the Buick Enclave is a three-row SUV that seats up to seven.

The Buick Envision is offered in three trims: Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir, each with its own character.

The three Envision trims allow buyers to choose the model that fits their needs:

Yes, the Buick Envision is larger than the Buick Encore GX in length, width and height.

Here’s how they compare: The 2025 Envision measures 182.7 inches long, 74.1 inches wide and 64.6 inches tall. By contrast, the 2025 Encore GX is about 171.2 inches long, 71.4 inches wide and 64.1 inches tall.

Envision offers generous interior space, especially rear-seat legroom and cargo behind the rear seats. That extra size is well suited for buyers who regularly carry up to five passengers, carry gear or take longer road trips.

The Buick Envision uses regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.

Drivers sometimes wonder whether a turbocharged engine like the Envision’s requires premium fuel. In this case, the engine is calibrated to run efficiently on 87-octane fuel, so you won’t gain significant performance or efficiency by routinely using higher-octane gas.

For full details, such as any notes about ethanol blends, fuel additives or fueling tips, consult the “Fuel” section of the vehicle Owner’s Manual.

Yes, a trailer hitch can be installed on a Buick Envision, provided the hitch is properly rated and installed in accordance with the Owner’s Manual.

Installing a trailer hitch on Envision is a common upgrade. Many aftermarket hitches bolt directly to the vehicle with no welding required. However, adding a hitch (should be installed by an authorized installer or by a Buick/GM dealer) doesn’t change the vehicle’s factory towing limits — so it’s crucial to consult the towing section of the Owner’s Manual before towing.

Once you have a properly rated hitch installed, this opens up a lot of possibilities:

• You can attach a bike rack, small cargo carrier or platform for extra gear without loading the roof.
• You can tow lightweight trailers, including utility trailers, jet skis or compact campers.
• You can use it for tow-behind devices like small lawn equipment or hobby trailers.

When setting up towing, pay close attention to these details:

• Use the correct electrical wiring harness so trailer lights, turn signals and brakes function properly.
• Respect tongue weight limits along with gross trailer weight limits; even a light trailer can cause handling issues if tongue weight is too high or too low.
• Distribute cargo carefully and recheck payload, so you don’t exceed the vehicle’s limits.
• Periodically inspect the hitch, bolts and wiring for wear, corrosion or loosening.
