Envision and Envision Plus differ in the following aspects: Exterior: Both models adopt Buick's latest family design language. Overall, the Envision S leans towards a sporty style, while the Envision Plus exudes more luxury. From the side profile, the Envision S features a slightly sloping roofline, giving it a coupe-like feel, whereas the Envision Plus appears more substantial with a noticeably straighter D-pillar. Interior: Both models showcase Buick's latest family interior design, characterized by a driver-oriented center console. The materials and craftsmanship meet the standards expected for vehicles in this segment and positioning. The Envision Plus further emphasizes Buick's unique sense of luxury, featuring extensive soft-touch materials, diamond-patterned accents, and diamond-quilted seats.

I've driven the Envision for several years, and the biggest difference compared to the Plus version is the sense of space. The standard Envision has a shorter body with no extended wheelbase, seating five people comfortably in two rows, and the trunk fills up with just two or three suitcases. The Plus version is over ten centimeters longer overall, and with the extended wheelbase, it can squeeze in a third row, with flexible seat adjustments to fit a stroller or camping gear—no more crowding when taking the whole family out on weekends. The engine options remain the same, with either a 1.5T or 2.0T, but the Plus is tuned for smoother and steadier performance. It handles highway bumps better, has improved noise insulation, and the dashboard design is simpler though not cutting-edge. It costs a bit more, but for families with kids, it's worth the price, making daily errands and traffic-heavy turns much easier.
