Special planning｜The meaning of S SAIC-GM Buick Envision S Avenir Avia

When most people see the S logo on the rear of a car, their first reaction may be sports, but the Envision S brings more than just sports.

Spending a week with a new Envision S*** is destined to be wonderful from the first sight. The protagonist is this brand new Envision S?Avenir wearing a Merlot burgundy jersey, exuding a mysterious and robust atmosphere. The familiar through-type flying wing grille and wing-shaped LED headlights give the entire front face a horizontally elongated visual effect, as if it has fuller and three-dimensional facial features. Matrix?Pixel smart pixel headlights provide 10 smart lighting modes to achieve independently controlled lighting partitions, truly moving with your eyes. The diamond-shaped chrome decoration at the traditional fog lamp position has become a sign that clearly distinguishes it from the Envision model. The chrome armor on the lower part of the front also strengthens the attributes of an SUV.

The longer hood and lower body height create a dynamic stance that is ready to go. The side lines of the body have not changed much, and the more inclined rear windshield and the tense waistline also contribute to the posture. The shape of the taillights is relatively simple. The wing-shaped full-LED taillights echo the headlights. The suspended three-dimensional tailgate highlights refinement and dynamics. Coupled with the three-dimensional mesh grille, 20-inch crown-shaped aluminum alloy wheels, and exclusive crystal-clear taillights with water steering function, they all reveal the high-end and exclusive temperament of Avenir. In short, Envision S has changed the majestic and solemn feeling that Envision gave people in the past, and its more trendy and fashionable appearance design will undoubtedly win the favor of more young consumers.

Originally, I have a soft spot for all-black interiors and refuse light-colored interiors, but this Envision S? Avenir made me love the black one and the white one. The matching has a new look. The center console adopts an asymmetric design and is offset 18 degrees toward the driving position to create a warm and embracing feeling. A large number of soft materials, stitched leather, and imitation wood grain materials are used in the areas within reach, supplemented by Chrome-plated decoration and piano paint embellishments present a unique and textured atmosphere. Although the instrument panel continues the combination of the GM family's LCD and mechanical components, this "two circles and one square" combination has a retro charm and is more in line with most people's sensory habits. The 10-inch central control screen, 8-inch LCD instrument, HUD head-up display and high-definition streaming rearview mirror all integrate a full sense of technology.

The resolution and tactile feedback of the central control screen are of a high level, and the UI design is simple and clear at a glance. Although many entertainment, navigation, and communication functions are integrated here, it is gratifying that common functions such as air conditioning still retain the form of physical buttons. The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel reveal what makes it special. Changing the electronic gearbox to a push-button type may take some time to get used to, but this design can save a lot of space in the car and avoid misoperation. The diamond-patterned white seats wrapped in perforated leather not only look very eye-catching, but are also excellent in support and wrapping. The driver's seat not only supports 12-way electric adjustment and seat memory, but the front seats also Provides three levels of heating/ventilation functions. In addition, the car also provides multiple USB and Type-C interfaces to protect the electronic devices of everyone in the car.

Compared with the Envision, the Envision S, with a 29 mm longer wheelbase, performs well in terms of seating space, with ample leg and shoulder room. In addition to the conventional cup holders and glove box in the car, the Envision S also provides a wealth of scattered storage space, and there is an open floating storage layer under the electronic gearbox. The luggage compartment space is relatively regular, and the rear seats can be folded down in a 4/6 ratio, which improves the luggage compartment's expandability. The vehicle is equipped with an electric tailgate, and the opening and closing of the tailgate can be adjusted on the main driver's door panel.

The Envision S?Avenir is equipped with GM’s eighth-generation Ecotec series 2.0T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine, which can be used in “four-cylinder high performance”, “four-cylinder economy” and “four-cylinder economy”. Intelligent switching between two-cylinder "super economical". The matching 9-speed automatic transmission has a wider speed ratio range and dense gear ratios. The shifting logic can be selected according to different working conditions. The power response is quick and the shifting is quite smooth.

Both the power performance and driving smoothness are satisfactory. The engine has a maximum power of 237 horsepower and can explode 350 Nm of torque at 1500 rpm. The throttle is light and the initial power is rapid, which is more suitable for taking advantage of urban roads. The four-wheel drive system can not only control the torque distribution between the front and rear axles, but also adjust the left and right rear wheel torque between 100:0-0:100. The vehicle also has Avenir's unique FlexRide four driving modes, including comfort, four-wheel drive, sports, and off-road modes, bringing driving pleasure under different working conditions.

The excellent road performance of this Envision S?Avenir left a deep impression on me. Moderate steering force combined with more precise pointing. The chassis shows a comfortable adjustment style, which can well filter out small potholes and bumps on the road. The lateral support and tracking performance in corners are excellent, even when facing obvious bumps such as speed bumps. Resolve impact well. After a week of close contact, I was used to passing speed bumps at higher speeds even when driving other vehicles, and the bouncing of the vehicle made me realize that this was no longer the Envision S. NVH control is another highlight. The entire series is equipped with ANC active noise reduction function as standard, and uses Buick's patented QuietTuning! "Silent technology, not to mention tire noise, wind noise and other common noises are perfectly isolated. If you don't With the windows down, I couldn't even hear the voices of my colleagues outside the car. In such a quiet and comfortable space, only with Avenir's exclusive 9-speaker Bose audio can I experience what true immersive listening is.

The vehicle is equipped with the latest Buick eConnect? 2.0 interconnection system, which includes multiple intelligent interconnection functions based on Baidu, including Baidu voice recognition, Baidu Maps, Baidu Xixin and other functions. It also supports Apple on the car-machine interconnection. CarPlay and Baidu CarLife systems, what particularly delights me is that Apple CarPlay can be connected only through Bluetooth, completely achieving "wireless" interoperability. In addition, Envision S?Avenir is also equipped with the family's traditional OnStar. Star, and can achieve vehicle-level OTA online upgrades

With 6 high-definition cameras, 3 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors throughout the vehicle, this Envision S?Avenir. You can see features such as adaptive cruise, forward collision warning, lane keeping, merging assist, and the first-ever APA fully automatic intelligent parking system on the Ivia, plus 360-degree panoramic images, tire pressure monitoring and other functions, and safety configurations It can be said that it has everything.
