Buick Envision data analysis
How Buick Envision NHTSA rollover risk varies
Across 7 configurations recorded for the 2021 through 2024 Buick Envision, NHTSA rollover risk runs from 0.1% to 0.2%. The strongest figure belongs to the 2024 Buick Envision (2024 Buick Envision SUV AWD) at 0.1%, and the weakest to the 2021 car (2021 Buick Envision SUV FWD) at 0.2% — a spread of 13%. The narrow spread means any year of the Buick Envision in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.
What changed for 2024
Average NHTSA rollover risk for the 2024 Buick Envision is 0.1%, against 0.2% for the 2023 car — it held flat. A carry-over year like this usually means no powertrain or structural change, so an older example is the cheaper way into the same specification.
How to read this Buick Envision data
This page lists every 2021 through 2024 Buick Envision record we hold for this measurement — 7 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.
Where these Buick Envision figures come from
Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Buick Envision record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
How the 2024 Buick Envision scored
NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program rates the 2024 Buick Envision at 5 stars overall, 5 stars in the frontal barrier test, 5 stars for side impact, 4 stars for rollover resistance. Its calculated rollover risk is 0.1% — the probability the agency's model assigns to a rollover in a single-vehicle crash. Stars are awarded against the test protocol in force for that model year and are not comparable across a protocol change, so read a year's rating against other vehicles of the same year rather than against an older or newer version of the same car.
Recalls and owner complaints
The 2024 Buick Envision carries 1 open or completed safety recall, 10 owner complaints filed with NHTSA and 0 agency investigations. Recall counts are not a quality score on their own — a manufacturer that reports and fixes a defect early generates a recall, while one that does not may simply accumulate complaints instead. Check any specific car's VIN against the recall database before purchase: recalls are repaired free of charge regardless of ownership history, but only if the work has actually been carried out.
Driver-assistance equipment and how to read this record
NHTSA records the 2024 Buick Envision as offering electronic stability control. Availability means the system was fitted or offered on the model year, not that every individual car has it — options and trim levels vary. This page covers 7 tested configurations across 2021–2024, one row per body style and model year the agency has published. Where a field is blank the vehicle was not tested for that measure rather than scoring zero, and configurations are never merged, because a front-wheel-drive and an all-wheel-drive version of the same nameplate are separate tests.
