Buick Envista Specs
The complete technical specifications for the 2026 Buick Envista: engine output, EPA fuel economy, every exterior and interior dimension, cargo and weight figures, wheels and brakes, and the standard safety equipment, all in one reference page from Covert Buick GMC Bee Cave.
This page covers the complete technical specifications for the 2026 Buick Envista, a subcompact crossover that uses one powertrain and one drivetrain across its whole lineup, so most of these numbers hold no matter which trim a buyer chooses. For a plain-language overview of the model, see the Envista overview. For a trim-by-trim breakdown, pricing, and comparisons, see all Envista trims compared. The research hub links every guide in the cluster.
Powertrain
Every 2026 Envista, from Preferred to Avenir, runs the same engine and transmission. There are no engine upgrades and no all-wheel-drive option anywhere in the lineup.

| Transmission | 6-speed automatic |
| Drivetrain | Front-wheel drive (no AWD offered) |
| Fuel | Regular unleaded gasoline |

| Width (without mirrors) | 71.5 inches |
| Height | 61.2 inches |
| Wheelbase | 106.0 inches |
| Turning circle | 38.4 feet |
Inside
The Envista seats five across two rows. Front and rear measurements are close enough that adults fit comfortably in either row for everyday trips.
| Measurement | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| Headroom | 39.4 inches | 37.3 inches |
| Legroom | 41.9 inches | 38.7 inches |

The Envista is not rated to tow; Buick states it is neither designed nor intended to pull a trailer. Buyers who need all-wheel drive or light towing should cross-shop a larger Buick, which the Envista vs Envision comparison covers, or the Buick Encore GX.

| Preferred wheels | 17-inch bright silver-painted aluminum |
| Sport Touring wheels | 18-inch Gloss Black-painted aluminum |
| Avenir wheels | 19-inch aluminum, Pearl Nickel finish |

Efficiency
All three trims share the same EPA ratings, since they share the same front-wheel-drive powertrain.
| EPA city | 28 MPG |
| EPA highway | 32 MPG |
| EPA combined | 30 MPG |
| Fuel tank | 13.2 gallons |
| Estimated range | about 370 miles city, 420 miles highway |
Safety
Every Envista includes the Buick Driver Confidence suite as standard:
Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert are available across the lineup through the Advanced Safety Package. The Envista has posted mixed results in independent crash testing, so buyers who weigh that heavily should review the IIHS and NHTSA ratings directly.
In Practice
These numbers are easier to use once they translate into everyday decisions. Here is what the key figures mean for a typical buyer driving around the Hill Country:
| Spec | What it means day to day |
|---|---|
| 71.5-inch width | Narrower than most midsize SUVs, so it slips into a standard single-car garage bay and tight downtown parking with room to spare. |
| 182.6-inch length | Sits well inside a standard parking space and a 20-foot garage, easier to place than a compact or midsize crossover. |
| 38.4-foot turning circle | Tight enough for easy U-turns and parking-lot loops, closer to a small car than a family SUV. |
| 38.7-inch rear legroom | Enough for adults to ride in back on errands and medium trips; generous for a vehicle this size. |
| 20.7 / 42.0 cu ft cargo | A weekly grocery run or two carry-ons fit behind the seats; fold the 60/40 bench for bikes, flat-pack furniture, or weekend gear. |
| 30 MPG combined | On a 13.2-gallon tank, that is roughly 370 to 420 miles between fill-ups, enough to reach Fredericksburg or Kerrville and back without stopping. |

Questions
The 2026 Buick Envista produces 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque from its 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder engine, paired with a six-speed automatic. These figures are the same on the Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir, and every trim is front-wheel drive.
The Envista is 182.6 inches long, 71.5 inches wide without mirrors, and 61.2 inches tall, on a 106.0-inch wheelbase. Its turning circle is 38.4 feet, which keeps it easy to park and maneuver for a crossover.
There is 20.7 cubic feet of cargo behind the rear seats and up to 42.0 cubic feet with the 60/40 split-folding rear seat down. That covers a weekly grocery run with the seats up and larger gear with them folded.
The EPA rates the Envista at 28 MPG city, 32 MPG highway, and 30 MPG combined on regular unleaded. With a 13.2-gallon tank, that works out to roughly 370 to 420 miles of range between fill-ups.
No. Every Envista trim is front-wheel drive only, and the Envista is not rated to tow. Buyers who need all-wheel drive or light towing capability should look at the Buick Encore GX or step up to the Buick Envision.
