It can be activated via button press, but currently does not support voice -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 -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 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 -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' -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.
