The 2021 model re-launches the <a href=\"https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/deals?make=Buick&amp;model=Envision&amp;year=2021&amp;oem=GM&amp;showRecommendedPrice=true&amp;trim=Preferred+-+%2431%2C800+MSRP*\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Envision<\/a> as a second generation vehicle with vastly improved safety features, reimagined dash and infotainment systems, and a wider and longer wheelbase that results in upgraded handling from previous years.
