Buick Envision Attained “Top Safety Pick” Status from IIHS
The IIHS has just released a comprehensive list of the top safest vehicles to drive for 2018; the 2018 Buick Envision achieved the “Top Safety Pick” status for the mid-size luxury SUV category. This is no easy feat, considering that this organization just adopted stricter requirements for the evaluation.
Considering the Envision’s past track record for safety ratings, it’s not really surprising it made the IIHS’s list. It achieved a 5-Star Overall Safety rating for both 2017 and 2016. It also enjoyed “Top Safety Pick Plus” status those same two years.
Here are just some of the advanced defenses that you can expect when you set foot in the 2018 Buick Envision.

Family-Friendly Protection
You and your family will feel safe every time you embark on your next adventure, with three-point safety belts for the front seats as well Buick’s advanced air bag system which spans the full length of the SUV. Those with children will appreciate the LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Top tethers for CHildren) and rear child security door locks. If you have a teen driver, you can have peace of mind knowing that Teen Driver technology will help cultivate and enforce safe driving habits each time your child steps behind the wheel.
Modern Driver Assist Perks
Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and a rear vision camera eliminate the risk factor when backing up out of the garage or a narrow parking space. Stay alert with the optional Lane Change Alert that helps minimize blind spots and keep within lane lines with the available Lane Departure Warning technology. The driver’s seat can come with a Safety Alert system that vibrates in the direction of an approaching obstacle in the road ahead, to help minimize the chance of a collision.
