It can be activated via button press, but currently does not support voice wake-up. Below is relevant information about the Envision: 1. Introduction to the Envision: The Chinese name for the Buick ENVISION is "Angkewei" (Envision). As a new-generation strategic model under General Motors, the Buick Envision's exterior design inherits the essence of the ENVISION Vision concept car. 3. Safety features of the Envision: The 2020 Buick Envision is equipped with OnStar All-Time Online Assistant, ACC adaptive cruise control, LKA lane keeping system, SBZA side blind zone alert, APA automatic parking system, intelligent headlight system, FDI forward distance indicator, FCA forward collision alert + CMB collision mitigation system, RCTA rear cross traffic alert, and more.

Last time I drove my friend's Envision on the highway, I found its voice activation quite convenient. Just saying 'Hello Buick' to the steering wheel could activate it. The system responded pretty quickly—I tried using it to navigate to a service area, and the location reporting was accurate. When there were many people in the car, I had to speak a bit louder, or it might get drowned out. This feature was especially useful during long drives, as it eliminated the need to divert attention to touchscreen controls, significantly improving safety. I heard that the newer models' voice control can even adjust the air conditioning temperature, which is indeed much smarter than the older versions.

I've researched the infotainment system of the Envision, and its voice wake-up keyword is 'Hello, Buick'. No need to press any buttons, just naturally say this phrase to activate the central control screen. What's particularly useful is its ability to control multimedia and navigation, such as directly saying 'Play Jay Chou's songs' or 'Navigate home'. However, its dialect recognition isn't great, with Mandarin working best. When setting up navigation, it saves the trouble of manual input, especially at complex intersections where voice commands are particularly reliable.

I've driven my colleague's Envision several times. Just saying 'Hello, Buick' can wake up the voice assistant. The most frequently used functions are tuning radio stations and playing weather forecasts. During morning commutes, saying 'Navigate to the office' automatically plans routes avoiding traffic congestion. Sometimes asking it to tell jokes helps relieve boredom. Voice recognition remains clear at speeds up to 80 km/h, though occasional misjudgments occur with all windows open. Overall, it's safer and more convenient than button operations.

Last year when helping my father-in-law set up his Envision, I specifically tested the voice command feature. The wake-up phrase is indeed 'Hello, Buick', just speak towards the center rearview mirror. The elderly now use this for navigation while driving - saying 'Go to People's Hospital' is much more convenient than handwriting. The voice system can also locate gas stations, just say 'Find the nearest gas station' and options immediately pop up. When taking kids out, we use voice commands to play children's songs - even the kids can operate it themselves, which is indeed safer than using the touchscreen.

After comparing the voice systems of several SUVs, the 'Hello, Buick' wake-up response in the Envision is relatively fast. In practical tests, it can control the sunroof opening/closing and adjust the air conditioning temperature. Saying 'It's too hot' will automatically lower the temperature by two degrees. It also supports continuous commands, such as composite instructions like 'Navigate to the airport and play light music,' which can be executed in one go. There are three voice tones to choose from, but I prefer the default female voice. This feature is especially useful when driving at night, as it completely eliminates the need to look at the screen.

What is the difference between buying a car with a loan and paying in full?

Buying a car with a loan versus paying in full has the following differences: Different handling fees: When manufacturers do not offer zero-interest financial policies, consumers need to bear two additional costs: loan interest and handling fees (which are commonly charged). Paying in full during the car purchase process does not involve any handling fees. Different purchase timing: Buying a car with a loan allows many people who are confident about their future income to make purchases in advance, significantly boosting car sales. Many people cannot afford to pay a large sum of money upfront to buy a car and need time to save. Different payment requirements: Paying in full does not require a mortgage. Necessary payments include: purchase tax, registration fee, compulsory traffic insurance, and vehicle and vessel tax. Additional insurance is optional for the car owner. Buying a car with a loan requires full insurance, as mandated by banks nationwide. Since the car's ownership does not belong to the owner during the loan period, the owner uses the vehicle as collateral. The ownership certificate, purchase invoice, and full insurance policy must be held by the bank until the loan is repaid, after which the mortgage can be released. Different interest: Before the loan is fully repaid, it may take 1-3 years, during which interest must be paid. The process of buying a car in full is much simpler than buying with a loan, saving a lot of time and effort, and does not involve financial service fees or loan handling fees. Different insurance costs: Many 4S stores have long-term partnerships with insurance companies. Typically, when buying a car with a loan, the 4S store will require the customer to purchase full insurance in-store. However, not all insurance policies are suitable for everyone, making it relatively less cost-effective.

How many liters of transmission oil does the Excelle need?

The Excelle requires 3.5 liters of transmission oil. It is recommended to add transmission oil according to the oil level display. The methods for changing transmission oil are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the oil, then refill. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the oil: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Using a circulation machine to change automatic transmission oil: Dynamic oil change with an intelligent circulation machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission. How many liters of transmission oil to add: Manual oil change (gravity drain) requires four to six liters; using an oil change machine requires about nine to twelve liters.
