2017 Buick Envision: A Couple Of Good Powertrains

The 2017 Buick Envision gives you two options for its powertrain. The lower trims are equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 197 horsepower.

If you are not satisfied with the power, you can always move up to the top trims and get the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that cranks out 252 horsepower.
