Photographer, filmmaker and world traveler Rick Southers doesn’t stay put for long. He sets his sights on the world, and we’re lucky enough to see it through his lens. But while he’s on his way from point A to point B, he likes to enjoy a vehicle that makes it feel effortless. So when he was loaned a Buick Envista Sport Touring to try out, it quickly became his go-to ride. With comfortable available heated front seats, an interior that’s cooler than his playlist, and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility to keep the good vibes going, Envista is more than just an SUV, it’s his place of power — even in park.

Envista Q&A session with Rick Southers

How does driving the Buick Envista fit into your daily routine or weekend adventure?

My life is often spontaneous and fast-paced so the Buick Envista makes it easy to pick up and go with the remote start and heated front seats for the chillier months.

What surprised you most about the driving experience?

I was surprised at how roomy the interior of the Envista was. As a taller guy, it’s a true luxury to drive a vehicle that’s built for comfort.

How does getting behind the wheel help you reset or find inspiration?

I often find creative inspiration through music, and the experience on the wide display makes it easy. I look forward to getting behind the wheel, the seamless integration of my playlist queuing up on Apple CarPlay and my frequent stops being suggested on Google Maps.

How does Buick’s quiet confidence resonate with your lifestyle or career?

My career as a travel photographer is a reflection of quiet confidence because my work speaks louder than I ever could. Seeing my images grace the pages of major publications is all the reassurance I need.

What touches made driving the Buick Envista feel more seamless and intuitive?

One small feature I appreciate is the available wireless charging pad for my phone. It’s one less thing to think about and maintains a sleek interior because of the absence of dangling cables. Well done.
