A blue 2024 Buick Envista Avenir is shown parked near a Buick dealer near Gowrie.

Gowrie may be a small city, but that doesn’t mean its drivers can’t dream big when shopping for an SUV. If you’re looking for something versatile, stylish, and affordable, the 2024 Buick Envista suits you. New for the 2024 model year, the Envista packs a lot into a small package, from a comfortable and lush interior to a smooth drivetrain. It’s perfect for running errands around town, taking day trips down to Des Moines or Omaha, or going on even bigger road trips to big cities or rural areas.

As your Buick dealer near Gowrie, we here at Kemna Auto of Fort Dodge have a wide selection of vehicles available just a short drive north. We know that Iowa drivers are looking for quality vehicles that they can count on and that you don’t have to live in a big city to appreciate style and luxury. Read on to learn more about this brand-new Buick, and know that if you’re interested in seeing one in person or getting behind the wheel for a test drive, we’re here to help.

Versatile Design

Sometimes, you want to bring your family or friends along for the ride, and other times, you must transport a bulky appliance. With the Envista, switching between driving with passengers and hauling cargo is easy. The airy and open interior seats up to five people, and the back seat can be folded flat to unlock up to 42 cu.ft. of cargo volume.

If you want room in the back for one or two people but want to use the open space for cargo, you can use the 60/40 split in the rear bench and adjust the interior to work perfectly for your needs. And when you’re loading cargo into the back, whether it’s hiking gear for a relaxing adventure at Lindquist Wildlife Sanctuary or a load of groceries from Market on Market, you can use the available power liftgate to make things easier on yourself instead of fumbling for the handle with your arms full.

Comfortable Interior

The cabin isn’t just practical; it’s also comfortable. Upscale materials give the Envista a pleasant look. The design isn’t too busy, so you can quickly figure out where all the controls are and relax into the familiarity of the driver’s seat setup.

Buick’s QuietTuning system reduces road noise so you can focus on your conversations, music, or thoughts without being bothered by your neighbor’s renovation project or the hustle and bustle of Main Street.

An available moonroof brings in natural light and lets you enjoy the changing seasons by looking up at the trees of Gowrie, whether they’re blooming, dropping their fall foliage, or sporting a dazzling coat of snow.

Technology

Since the Envista is a new model, it’s loaded with plenty of modern technologies designed to make your life more convenient. Every Envista has an 11-inch touchscreen display embedded in the dashboard with an 8-inch digital gauge display behind the wheel.

Between these two screens, you can keep track of vehicle settings, safety warnings, and infotainment at a glance and quickly set up navigation, audio entertainment, and more. You can wirelessly connect your smartphone to the system through either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. If you get the wireless charging pad, you can keep messy cords out of your car.

Safety Comes Standard

Whether driving for hours on a rural Iowa highway or a trip into a big city with distractions around every corner, it can help to have driver assistance features on your side. The Envista comes standard with a full suite of features that can help you stay fully aware of your surroundings and react quickly when drivers around you make mistakes. Some items on the Envista are designed for highway driving, others come in handy in parking lots, and some are useful anywhere.

Standard features:

  • Forward collision alert warns you about an imminent accident so you can take action quickly.
  • Automatic emergency braking steps in if you don’t brake in time or brake hard enough to avoid a collision.
  • Front pedestrian braking can detect people, not just vehicles and large stationary objects, so you can make sure everyone around you stays safe.
  • Following distance indicator gives you the information you need to keep a safe distance on the road.
  • Lake keep assist with lane departure warning helps you stay in your lane during long, tiring drives.
  • IntelliBeam automatic high beams turn the brights on and off automatically, depending on lighting conditions and surrounding traffic, so you can see in the dark without accidentally dazing other drivers.

Other advanced safety technologies are available for the Buick Envista. Features like side blind zone alert, rear cross-traffic alert, rear park assist, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go are available across all trim levels, so you can get these helpful tools without spending the money it takes to upgrade to the next trim. On the top-tier Avenir trim, you can also get a rearview mirror that dims automatically to give you a perfect view anytime.

Affordable: Now and Down the Road

The Envista has the look and feel of an upscale vehicle, but it’s affordable and fantastic for Gowrie drivers on a budget. The starting price is just $22,400,(a) and even the luxurious Avenir trim can be had for under $30,000 (a) when properly configured. If you want a sleek and stylish SUV without paying luxury prices, then the Envista is a great entry-level model that can give you what you’re looking for at a price that won’t break the bank.

On top of having a solid sticker price, the Envista can also save you money, thanks to its efficient powertrain. Its 1.2L turbo-powered engine is estimated to deliver 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, giving you the power to handle highway speeds. The engine also provides impressive fuel economy.

The 2024 Envista gets 28 MPG when traveling in the city and up to 32 MPG on the highway for a combined total of 30 MPG. That gives you a range of almost 400 miles between fill-ups, so you can handle a long commute or a big road trip without feeling too much pain at the pump.
