Where is the keyhole of the Envision located?

The Envision has a keyhole on the driver's side door, but it is located beneath a protective cover. To use the keyhole, you need to pry open the cover. There is no keyhole inside the Buick Envision, as this model is equipped with a keyless start system. Additional information is as follows: 1. Exterior: The 2020 Buick Envision appears more rugged and imposing. The new wing-shaped chrome trim runs through the LED wing-shaped headlights, widening the horizontal visual effect. The dynamic bumper design and three-dimensional silver lower guard create a full and powerful front end. The rear also features a three-dimensional wing-shaped design, with the chrome trim connected to the taillights, complemented by integrated dual exhaust pipes to enhance the sporty feel. 2. Interior: The 2020 Buick Envision continues Buick's tradition of high-end interior quality and introduces a newly designed 10-inch HD touchscreen to enhance the technological feel. The vehicle also features front-row multi-function seats, adjustable and slidable rear seats, a large split central storage box, a heated steering wheel, and a two-piece oversized panoramic sunroof.
Many friends have asked me about the keyhole on the Envision. I guess you're using the smart key version, but the physical keyhole is still located on the driver's door handle. I remember helping my neighbor find it—it's a small cover on the exterior of the door. You need to pry it open with the small key or use your fingers to pop it open, and then you can insert the spare key. Modern car designs make it quite discreet mainly to prevent accidental use; normally, keyless entry is sufficient. It only comes in handy when the key battery dies or the system malfunctions. I've even encountered someone who couldn't open the car in a hurry because they couldn't find this hole, so I suggest owners test the unlocking process to ensure they can handle emergencies. Don't worry, it won't affect daily use—it's just a backup safety feature added by Buick.
I think Envision owners should especially remember the location of the keyhole. Based on my years of driving experience, it's usually located under the driver's side door handle, where there's an inconspicuous small cover. Newer Envision models might have it hidden by default, but older models make it more obvious. Sometimes, when the battery dies and the smart key doesn't work, you'll need to rely on this physical hole to manually open the door. Even though the ignition system has a push-button start, if the key itself fails, the backup keyhole can be a lifesaver. I recommend checking the owner's manual first—it has specific diagrams. If you still can't find it, try gently pressing the edge of the handle. Don't overlook this detail; it has saved many people in critical moments!
I know the Envision's keyhole is on the door, specifically on the driver's side door handle. Open it, insert the key, and you can manually unlock the door. If you've never noticed it before, it might be covered by a small cap; just lift it gently to reveal the keyhole. Most people use the smart key for convenience, but this comes in handy during emergencies. It's nothing complicated, don't overthink it.
