The Sleuth notes that this General Motors division is sprucing up its utility-vehicle lineup for the 2021 model year. This following a decision to cancel the Buick Regal hatchback sedan and TourX wagon after the 2020 model year. To offset that, the Encore GX (a bit larger than the basic Encore) has joined the group, while the current Envision tall wagon will get all-new sheetmetal for 2021. The Envision’s nose now appears much more stylish, while the doors, fenders and rear hatch have also been subtly remodeled. What isn’t confirmed is the selection of powerplants, but The Sneaky One believes the current non-turbo and turbocharged four-cylinder engines should both get a bit more punch. Also unclear is whether the Envision will continue to be imported from China.

The Buick Envision will be redesigned for the 2021 model year with a much smoother appearance despite all the sharp creases.
