Having always been an American auto brand, some Raleigh drivers are surprised to learn that Buick's list of manufacturing plants spans far outside the United States. Where are Buicks made? Currently, Buick models are built at production centers across the U.S., Canada, China, South Korea, and Germany.

You can't go wrong with the 2023 Buick Envision. But how much does the 2023 Buick Envision cost, and which 2023 Buick Envision trim level is right for you? The Envision Preferred is a great value, but the Envision Essence has a large infotainment screen, leather-appointed seats, and a hands-free power tailgate.

The Essence trim level has standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, unlike the Preferred which must add those features as optional additions.

The 2023 Buick Envision is a bit of an in-betweener. It's a compact luxury SUV that offers a well-built interior, impressive acceleration and an impressive ride quality, but it's not quite as plush as some of its rivals.

While Buick is an American company, Buick has manufacturing plants across the world. What started in Detroit and Flint, Michigan in the early 1900s has now spread across the globe, with plants in Canada, South Korea, Germany, and China.

The surname Bewick, alternately found as Buick, Buik, Bewicke, Bewike and Buicke, is ultimately of English origin, but later made its way to Scotland and came to prominence in the person of David Dunbar Buick, the Angus-born, Scottish American founder of the Buick Motor Company.

Scottish (Angus and Perthshire) and English: variant of Bewick . German: probably a variant of Buck 3 and hence a cognate of the Dutch name Buik (see Buyck , compare 3 below). Dutch: variant, archaic or Americanized, of Buijk or Buik (see Buyck ).

Buick is positioned as a premium automobile brand, selling luxury vehicles positioned above Chevrolet, while priced below the flagship luxury Cadillac division. In North America, Buick vehicles are almost always sold alongside GMC (another premium brand) vehicles at multi-brand dealerships.

luxury vehicles Buick models are luxury vehicles. This brand is a go-to for drivers looking for a more affordable, high-end car or SUV with plenty of premium amenities. Though coming at a lower cost than most luxury models, this doesn't mean a lack of luxury features.

The Preferred also has a sound system with six speakers. The top Avenir trim adds heated outboard seats along with heated front-row seats. Navigation is added to the infotainment system. The sound system is upgraded to a Bose audio system with nine speakers, and you'll also get a wireless charging pad.

Impressive Performance All Around. One key difference between the Preferred and the Premium is that the Premium is only offered in all-wheel drive, while the Preferred is offered in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
