If you had any qualms about the safety of a Chinese-built car, set them aside. At least when it comes to the
Buick Envision. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has tested the new GM crossover and it passed with flying colors.
The Envision is the first Chinese-built Buick sold in the States, and it’s also the first Chinese-built car the organization has ever tested. In what is an impressive feat for any new automobile, it earned the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating. This means the crossover comes equipped with a forward collision warning system and earned “Good” marks in all types of collisions, including the difficult small overlap crash test. In addition to the forward collision warning system, an automatic emergency braking system is available on the Envision.
Eleven other vehicles earned the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, including models from Volvo, Lincoln, Acura, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus and Infiniti. That’s good company, and combined with a pleasant,
if not world-beating, driving experience, should make the Envision a car worth consideration.
