The essential comparison for Montreal drivers

In the world of compact SUVs, two models stand out this year: the 2025 Buick Envista and the 2025 Hyundai Kona. Both are modern, versatile, and urban, targeting an active clientele that values performance and comfort.

But between these two models, which one is better suited for professionals, families, and self-employed workers in the Montreal area? At Christin Automobile, we explain why the 2025 Buick Envista might just be the option that checks all your boxes.

Design and comfort: Buick’s signature refinement

The 2025 Hyundai Kona has been redesigned to impress with a bold look. But the 2025 Buick Envista focuses on sculpted elegance and refined interior design.

• Premium Comfort: Cloth seats with synthetic leather trim and 8-way power-adjustable driver seat with lumbar support.

• Automatic Climate Control: For consistent comfort regardless of the weather.

• Intuitive In-Car Technology: Ultrawide 11" display, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and available wireless charging.

The Kona offers a younger design, but the Buick’s cabin is tailored for quiet comfort, ideal for professionals or young families looking for a more subdued, upscale atmosphere.

Cargo Space and Flexibility: Envista Takes the Lead

Both models offer impressive space for their size, but the Buick Envista stands out:

• Maximum cargo capacity of 1,189 litres (42.0 cu. ft.)

• 60/40 split-folding rear bench

• Generous rear legroom

While the Kona is practical, its cargo space is slightly more limited. For Montreal drivers transporting tools, strollers, or sports gear, the Envista better meets everyday needs.

Technology and connectivity: Buick focuses on user experience

In terms of tech, both models are well-equipped, but the Envista offers a more complete digital ecosystem:

• 11" touchscreen

• Remote start

• Up to 8 years of access to OnStar® Basics: remote lock/unlock, real-time vehicle status via the myBuick app

• Built-in Wi-Fi hotspot with available data plan

The Hyundai Kona also features modern tech, but Buick’s connected suite with OnStar offers a clear advantage for Quebec drivers looking for a smart, well-integrated vehicle.

Performance and Efficiency: Buick’s Practical Power

Here’s a comparison of standard engine specs:

The Buick offers smooth, fuel-efficient driving—perfect for both city and suburban trips around Montreal. Those wanting more power can opt for the Kona’s turbo engine, but it comes with higher fuel consumption.

Safety: Buick driver confidence comes standard

In a city like Montreal, safety is essential. The 2025 Buick Envista comes standard with the Buick Driver Confidence suite—six advanced safety and driver assistance features:

• Automatic emergency braking

• Forward collision alert

• Lane keep assist

• Front pedestrian braking

• Rear park assist

• Adaptive cruise control

While the 2025 Hyundai Kona offers similar features, Buick includes more standard driver aids even at base trims, making it a safe and reassuring choice without the need to upgrade.
