One of the highest reliability scores in the compact luxury SUV class

Interior NVH suppression rivals SUVs costing significantly more
Updated infotainment responds faster than previous generation

Powertrain lacks the character of European turbocharged alternatives
Resale value trails German luxury brands in this segment

The engine

Ecotec (LSY)

2.0L Turbo I4

A turbocharged four tuned more for refinement and efficiency than outright punch, with smooth, tractable midrange power suited to Buick's quiet-luxury brief.

The LSY is part of GM's third-generation Ecotec family and first launched in the 2019 Cadillac XT4 before spreading across GM's North American lineup, including the Envision.

It replaced the older, more performance-oriented LTG 2.0-liter turbo, trading some horsepower for better fuel economy.
It adds Active Fuel Management and stop/start technology that the engine it replaced lacked.
The same LSY engine is shared widely across Cadillac CT4, CT5, XT4, XT5 and XT6 models.
