Dazzling design and premium amenities inspire and delight in the all-new 2025 Buick Envision.

1. Purposeful Exterior Design

The exterior design of the Envision is nothing short of spectacular, featuring smooth body lines, a gorgeous front grille, and check-shaped headlamps. LED headlamps with enhanced functionality provide wider, brighter illumination in low-light environments. Heated power outside mirrors help clear off ice and fog for better visibility, and the roof rails enhance your Envision’s appearance and serve as a foundation for attaching roof racks and other accessories.

2. Impressive Performance

The Envision gains motivation from a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 rated at 228 hp and 258 pound-feet of torque. Stop/Start technology will automatically stop the engine when your Envision comes to a halt and restart it when you lift your foot off the brake pedal, improving fuel efficiency.

A 9-speed automatic transmission provides quick gear transitions and better control, ensuring a thrilling driving experience, whether on highways or city streets. Intelligent AWD with active twin clutch improves traction by sending power to the wheels with the most grip in challenging environments.

3. Spacious and Luxurious Interior

The two-row Envision seats five passengers and offers 25.2 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and up to 52.7 cubic feet of maximum space. Comfort-enhancing features include carpet floor covering, single-zone automatic climate control, QuietTuning with active noise cancellation, and eight-way power driver and front occupant seats.

Each Envision also boasts a stunning 30-inch display, housing both the driver information center and infotainment screen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, in-dash navigation, a 9-speaker Bose sound system, and SiriusXM also come standard.

4. Advanced Safety Technology

First-class safety and driver-assist features are offered in every 2025 Envision. The head-up display shows vital vehicle information in your line of sight on the windshield, allowing you to fully concentrate on the road ahead. Forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking notifies you of impending crashes and can apply the brakes when necessary.

The adaptive cruise control maintains a preset distance between your Buick and the vehicles in front, while hill descent control uses antilock brakes to help deliver a smooth, controlled descent. Every Envision also features a safety alert seat, rear cross-traffic braking, and rear pedestrian alert.

The 2025 Buick Envista is an urban-ready compact SUV perfect for drivers who want to enjoy practical features at a budget-friendly price. It offers a reliable engine that sips fuel and a cozy cabin equipped with smart technology.

1. Stop/Start Technology

All Envista models come with a 1.2L turbo engine that cranks out 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic, and front-wheel drive is standard. This powertrain manages an incredible 30 mpg combined, with 28 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. With the stop/start technology, the engine automatically shuts off in stop-and-go traffic to squeeze out a little more fuel savings.

2. Buick QuietTuning With Active Noise Cancellation

Inside, the cabin is calm and quiet, thanks to Buick QuietTuning, which uses special materials to absorb sound and block outside noise. Active Noise Cancellation cancels out engine sounds to make rides quieter, so conversations, music, and audio come through more clearly.

3. Buick Driver Confidence

The Buick Driver Confidence package equips every Envista with forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking to help prevent collisions. It also comes with lane departure warning, which alerts you if you start to drift without signaling. If you don’t respond, lane-keep assist nudges the steering wheel to guide you back to your lane. Auto high-beam assist automatically switches between high and low beams when it’s dark, so you can see the road better without blinding oncoming drivers.

4. Lane Change Alert With Side Blind Zone Alert

Available on all models, this feature uses radar sensors to watch your blind spots and help you change lanes safely without sideswiping another car. When a vehicle is detected, a warning light appears on the side mirror. If you turn on your blinkers in that direction, the light will flash as an extra warning that it’s not safe to switch lanes.

5. Ultrawide Infotainment Display

An ultrawide 11-inch touchscreen display comes standard, giving you various connectivity options. It features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM, and Bluetooth audio streaming for two active devices. With the voice command pass-through feature, you can talk to Siri or Google Assistant hands-free through the car.

Different strokes for different folks, right? The 2025 GMC Sierra HD gets that, with seven trims built around different needs and tastes. Here’s how each one makes its case.

Pro

Taken on their own, a 6.6-liter V8 with 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, a 10-speed Allison transmission, and the biggest cargo box in the class are each solid reasons to look twice.

For those after diesel power, there’s an available 6.6-liter Duramax V8. It delivers 470 horsepower, 975 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of 22,420 pounds. For reference, the strongest gasser pulls a maximum of 18,700 pounds.

SLE

Next up, the SLE builds on the Pro model with a set of useful upgrades, including cloth seats instead of vinyl, larger screens (a 13.4-inch infotainment display and a 12.3-inch Driver Information Center), a wrapped steering wheel with integrated controls, keyless open and start, and a tailgate equipped with EZ Lift.

SLT

Going from the SLE to the SLT gets you leather upholstery, power heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, a rear window defogger, carpeted floor mats, a manual tilt and telescoping steering column, and a remote start system.

AT4

For those who want their trucks to handle more than pavement, the AT4 brings real off-road capability. It’s fitted with skid plates underneath, twin-tube Rancho shocks tuned for off-road work, and Hill Descent Control to manage steep drops. The nice part is that this isn’t just a rough-and-ready trim. Inside, you’ll find niceties such as heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and a Bose sound system.

Denali

The Denali is all about on-road luxury. It upgrades the SLT with a trim-specific interior consisting of open-pore wood, metal accents, and forged perforated leather heating surfaces. It also features a 12-speaker Bose sound system, a bed view camera, and a 360-degree view camera.

AT4X

This takes the AT4’s off-road game to the next level with a factory-installed 1.5-inch lift, Multimatic DSSV dampers, rear lockers, larger skid plates, and 35-inch Goodyear Territory MT tires.

Denali Ultimate

The Denali Ultimate is as comfortable as the Sierra HD gets. It’s absolutely loaded with high-end features, such as full-grain leather seating, genuine open-pore Paldao wood trim, 16-way power front seats that massage, and a Bose Premium Series sound system.

A rugged truck with a bold personality, the 2025 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup is born for adventures. Whether you opt for the standard powertrain or the available three-motor option, this electric supertruck can take you to the highest peaks.

Introducing the 2025 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup

The 2025 HUMMER EV Pickup represents the essence of supertruck fun. It is available in two trim levels that share most features but come with different powertrains.

This trim level uses a dual-motor four-wheel drive setup that, together with the standard 20-module battery pack, delivers 570 horsepower and 7,400 pound-feet of torque.

The 3X trim level boasts a trimotor four-wheel drive setup, with one front and two rear motors. It comes standard with the same 20-module battery as the 2X trim, but it can be customized with GMC’s most advanced 24-module Ultium battery to provide a staggering 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque. Depending on the battery, it provides 318 to 367 miles of range per charge.

Adventure-Ready Features 

While the 2025 HUMMER EV Pickup behaves beautifully on asphalt, it is designed for the open road. Both trim levels come well-equipped for adventures with heavy-duty suspensions, underbody protection, and a minimum ground clearance of 11.9 inches. It can also go through 28 to 32 inches of water, depending on the selected drive mode, meaning you can easily overcome any challenging situation.

With 4-Wheel Steer and CrabWalk, you can easily align or sync the truck’s wheels to reduce the turning radius for easier maneuverability or move diagonally to traverse tight trails. For extreme adventures, you can optimize this truck with the available Extreme Off-Road Package and underbody cameras.

First-Class Comfort and Convenience

This truck’s interior is designed to keep five riders comfortable through the most rugged adventures. The front and rear seats offer exceptional back and lateral support, and all essential controls are placed for easy reach from the driver’s seat.

Removable Sky Panels open up the top, allowing you to enjoy an open-air experience. GMC’s latest infotainment system is also standard on this truck and comes with a range of Google apps for added convenience.
