Stepping up to the Essence trim gets you exclusive 18-inch wheels and mirror memory settings.

The top-of-the-line Avenir adds 20-inch wheels, adaptive headlights, cornering lighting, and welcome lights that animate on demand to guide your way to and from the vehicle.

With the Preferred and Essence models, you can opt for the Sport Touring (ST) package that gives the Envision a more aggressive and sportier look.

Inspiring Performance

Front-wheel drive is standard, or you can opt for an intelligent all-wheel-drive system with active twin clutch.

The Envision is quick and nimble for driving around the Fort Worth city streets. When you head out on the highway, the premium suspension helps smooth out the bumps in the road. With the available continuous damping control, you’ll get an even more refined ride. When equipped with all-wheel drive, the torque to each wheel is automatically adjusted for optimal traction whatever the Texas weather throws at you.

The efficient engine features a stop/start system that helps the Envision achieve up to 23 mpg around town, while driving on the highway rewards you with up to 31 mpg. When properly equipped, the Envision gives you a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, enabling you to take everything you need on your adventures.
