ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Buick Envision?
The 2024 Envision achieved an overall Safety Index of 87 out of 100, placing it in the Strong safety band. This score marks a nine-point decrease from the 2023 model's 96/100 Exceptional rating, a shift driven predominantly by its avoidance-tech sub-score of 2 out of a possible 10 points. Crash protection remains robust, however; a sub-score of 66 out of 70 is among the segment's highest. This strong crash-protection performance is directly supported by 5-star ratings in both frontal and side impact tests. The vehicle's defect record sub-score of 19 out of 20 reflects a low-severity label recall and a minimal nine owner complaints. A 4-star rollover rating and 15 percent risk align with typical SUV performance. The decline in the overall Safety Index for 2024 does not indicate diminished crashworthiness, but rather a specific change in avoidance-tech scoring relative to the vehicle's configuration.
