Choose the 2026 Buick Envision AWD when you want a small SUV with all-wheel drive and a gasoline turbo four-cylinder engine. Its 25 MPG combined rating is a useful mixed-driving baseline, with 22 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. The EPA puts annual fuel cost at $2700. That makes fuel budgeting simple, though city-heavy use will track closer to the lower rating. Its 361 grams of CO2 per mile also matter if tailpipe emissions are part of your decision.
What it is
The 2026 Buick Envision AWD is a small sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive. It uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission.
The figure to watch is 25 MPG combined. That rating blends the 22 MPG city figure and 28 MPG highway figure.
The numbers
For mostly city driving, the EPA rating is 22 MPG. On the highway, it is 28 MPG. The combined figure is 25 MPG.
The Envision AWD produces 361 grams of tailpipe CO2 per mile.
What it costs to run
The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $2700. That is the published yearly gasoline estimate for this vehicle, not its purchase price.
Your actual fuel bill can differ with driving mix and gasoline prices, but the city and highway ratings show where the estimate starts.

Who it suits
This Envision suits a driver who wants an SUV body and all-wheel drive while staying with a gasoline powertrain. Its numbers fit mixed driving where both city and highway miles matter.
It also fits buyers who plan around a clear yearly fuel estimate of $2700.
Trade-offs
All-wheel drive and the SUV format come with a 25 MPG combined rating. City use is rated at 22 MPG, lower than the 28 MPG highway figure.
The gasoline engine requires fuel, and its tailpipe output is 361 grams of CO2 per mile.
Verdict
The 2026 Buick Envision AWD makes sense when all-wheel drive and SUV practicality come before minimizing gasoline use. Its 25 MPG combined rating gives mixed drivers a straightforward benchmark, while the $2700 yearly fuel estimate sets a clear running-cost expectation. Highway travel is rated at 28 MPG, but urban driving falls to 22 MPG. Choose it for the combination of a small SUV body, gasoline turbo four-cylinder power and automatic transmission; look elsewhere if your priority is a lower fuel-use figure.
