Where is the keyhole on the Envision?

The Envision does not have a keyhole, as it comes standard with a keyless start system and keyless entry system. Owners can enter the vehicle using the remote key and start the car with the push-button start function. In terms of exterior design, the Buick Envision features Buick's new family design, with significant changes to the front fascia, including minor adjustments to the headlight assembly shape. The area below the headlights has been made more straight, and LED light sources have been added inside the headlight housing. In terms of power, the Envision is equipped with two engine options: a 1.5T and a 2.0T, each available in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. The 1.5T engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0T engine is matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Buick Envision is positioned as a midsize SUV, with body dimensions of 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1660mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750mm.
I've been driving the Envision for a while, and the keyhole is actually quite hidden. Most modern models come with a smart key system. There's a small cover under the driver's side door handle—pry it open to reveal the keyhole, which serves as an emergency backup for opening the door if the key fob runs out of battery or malfunctions. The trunk lid often has a similar hidden keyhole. As for the ignition, the Envision no longer has a traditional keyhole; instead, it uses a push-button start located near the steering wheel. It's advisable for owners to periodically check the physical part of the backup key and keep the battery fresh. For daily commutes, using the remote functions is more convenient, but if issues arise, refer to the manual for specific diagrams or video tutorials to locate the keyholes. Overall, this design enhances convenience and safety by reducing friction points. Remember, don't fumble in the dark—check the door handle area first.
