Buick lovers have already gotten a surprise when the 2016 Buick Envision made its way to the U.S market from the Continental region. They may be in for another one as new trims are coming with the 2017 Envision. However, there is a little bit of a catch as the arrival will be basically the same as it did on the previous model.

According to report from OPP Trends, the 2017 Buick Envision will come with a couple of powertrains. First is the 2.5-liter Inline-4 that is capable of putting-out 197 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque which will be the standard in the base trim. The other is a 2.0-liter Inline-4 turbocharged powerplant that shoots up to 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and available in a front wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) options.

Accordingly, the 2017 Buick Envision will also have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for its infotainment. It has a sound system with auxiliary audio input, satellite radio and Bluetooth phone streaming capabilities.
