What is the wheelbase of the Envision?
2 Answers
Envision body dimensions are 4667mm×1839mm×1696mm, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. Advantages of the Envision's wheelbase: The ultra-long wheelbase provides a more spacious passenger compartment. A passenger who is 180cm tall can have about two fists of legroom in the rear seats. Combined with the Envision's completely flat rear floor, this offers rear passengers a level of comfort that surpasses competitors in the same class. Importance of wheelbase: The wheelbase determines the position of the car's center of gravity. Therefore, once the wheelbase is changed, the overall layout design must be redone, especially the dimensions of the drivetrain and body sections. The parameters of the springs and shock absorbers in the suspension system must be readjusted, as well as the size of the steering trapezoidal rod in the steering system.
I initially chose the Envision because of its 2833mm wheelbase, which is considered large among SUVs, offering super spacious rear seating. When my wife and I travel with our three kids, they don't feel cramped in the back and have plenty of legroom. On long highway trips, my family falls asleep comfortably without any back pain. Compared to the Honda CR-V's 2660mm wheelbase, the Envision offers significantly more space, combined with Buick's excellent design, making the entire cabin more spacious. Actually, a longer wheelbase also improves the car's stability, preventing it from swaying during turns and giving me confidence when driving on highways in the rain. However, you'll need to choose a larger parking spot, or it might be a bit troublesome. When I was car shopping, I test-drove other brands, but in the end, it was this wheelbase that won me over—its practicality and comfort are top-notch.
