2026 BUICK ENVISTA

2026 Buick Envista

2026 Lexus UX

Vehicle Overview

The 2026 Buick Envista at Elk Grove Buick GMC redefines the entry-luxury SUV with its coupe-like styling, spacious cabin, and impressive value. Powered by a responsive 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine generating 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, it delivers a refined and efficient drive perfect for Sacramento commutes. With a wheelbase 2.1 inches longer than the Lexus UX, the Envista offers a smoother ride, more stable handling, and significantly more interior room for five passengers, making it an exceptionally practical and stylish choice.

Safety & Protection

The 2026 Buick Envista isn't just equipped with safety features—it's proven safer. It earned a superior 5-star NHTSA driver front crash rating vs. the UX's 4 stars, with dramatically lower forces recorded on the driver's neck and legs. Standard safety includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Forward Collision Alert. The available Tire Fill Monitor and standard Teen Driver system offer additional layers of security. With nearly four times as many Buick dealers as Lexus for convenient warranty service, the Envista ensures protection and peace of mind for Elk Grove drivers.

Space & Practicality

Don't let the sleek profile fool you—the 2026 Envista offers substantially more usable space than the Lexus UX. It boasts 7.1 cubic feet more passenger volume, with more headroom, shoulder room, and a decisive 5.6 inches more rear legroom. Cargo capacity is a major advantage, offering 20.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats compared to the UX's 17.1. Practical features include a standard space-saver spare tire (the UX has none), a larger 13.2-gallon fuel tank for longer range, and even a flat-tow capability for RV owners—all conveniences the UX lacks.

Performance & Engineering

The 2026 Envista's intelligent engineering delivers a dynamic and efficient drive. Its 1.2L turbo engine produces more torque (162 lb-ft) than the UX's hybrid 4-cylinder. It stops shorter from 60-70 MPH, handles with more grip (.83 G's vs .79 G's), and weighs 300-450 lbs less for better agility. Advanced features include active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, computer-generated active noise cancellation for a library-quiet cabin, and a cap-less fueling system. For Sacramento drivers, this translates to a more engaging, refined, and economical driving experience every day.
