Does the Envision come with a panoramic sunroof?
3 Answers
The Envision comes with a panoramic sunroof, which has a relatively large area and can even feature an entire glass roof. Currently, most panoramic sunroofs consist of two separate pieces of glass at the front and rear. It is advisable to avoid using the sunroof on bumpy roads to prevent damage to the sunroof and its sliding rail components due to vibration. The Envision's body dimensions are 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1660mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. The Envision offers two engine options: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 169 hp, a maximum power of 124 kW, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine provides a maximum horsepower of 260 hp, a maximum power of 191 kW, and a maximum torque of 400 Nm.
As a long-time Buick owner, the Envision does indeed come with a panoramic sunroof version, and the daylight opening area is quite large! However, it depends on the specific year and trim. For example, the 2023 Envision S GS model I bought for my daughter last year features a fully transparent roof, with the front section completely retractable. But the entry-level 552T trim only has a standard small sunroof. I recommend checking the official website’s configuration sheet before viewing the car—only models labeled with 'openable panoramic sunroof' offer the true starlit roof experience. The larger the sunroof, the more attention maintenance requires; I clean the leaves from the tracks every quarter.
Recently, while accompanying a friend for a test drive of the Envision, I paid special attention to the sunroof. The salesperson mentioned that the 2024 model has been upgraded across the entire lineup, with even the most affordable 25T trim now featuring an electric panoramic sunroof, complete with UV-protective glass coating. However, the mid-range and top-tier trims offer a larger sunroof opening area, especially the Avenir version, which includes starlight ambient lighting. During the actual test, I noticed the sunshade is quite thick, preventing any scalp sunburn in summer. My friend ultimately chose the version with the Hummingbird chassis, and the sunroof controls are conveniently located next to the reading lights, making operation very smooth.
