How Many Gears Does the Envision Have?
2 Answers
The number of gears in the Envision varies by model: 1. The 1.5T model has 7 gears; 2. The 2.0T model has 9 gears. The Envision is a midsize SUV under SAIC-GM Buick. Taking the Envision 2021 532T Front-Wheel Drive Leading Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4694 mm, width 1839 mm, height 1686 mm, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, and a curb weight of 1610 kg. The Envision 2021 532T Front-Wheel Drive Leading Edition is equipped with a 1.5T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 124 kW at 5600 rpm, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1700 to 4400 rpm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The Buick Envision's common models come standard with a 9-speed automatic transmission, meaning it has 9 gears. I think this design is fantastic because the multiple gears make shifting incredibly smooth, with almost no noticeable jerkiness. Especially during acceleration or deceleration on highways, the engine RPM stays within the efficient range, significantly improving fuel efficiency and saving about 10% on gas. In daily driving, I pay more attention to utilizing different gears to optimize performance—like downshifting to increase torque when climbing hills or upshifting to reduce noise in city traffic jams, which greatly enhances the driving pleasure. However, remember that more gears mean a more complex system, so regular checks of transmission fluid and filters are crucial to prevent slipping or malfunctions and extend its lifespan. Spending extra time understanding your car's transmission characteristics can significantly improve both the driving experience and vehicle reliability.
