2017 Buick Envision - the New SUV Safety Leader!

In the last decade Buick's engineers have put a special emphasis on safety. In fact, in the last two consecutive model years, every Buick model has earned five-star overall vehicle score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). And now, the 2017 Buick Envision has earned a spot among the rest of them. 

The 2017 Buick Envision has earned a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for Safety rating by NHTSA.



From the beginning, Buick designed the Envision with safety, quality and craftsmanship in mind. The Buick Envision is a nimble SUV with its smart size and ingenious technologies. It utilizes a combination of five cameras and 13 radar and ultrasonic sensors around the vehicle to help offer owners peace of mind behind the wheel. 

The 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for Safety rating by NHTSA is not the only safety accolade the 2017 Envision has earned. Earlier this year, the 2017 Buick Envision, with optional front crash prevention and high intensity discharge (HID) headlights, was named a 2017 Top Safety Pick+ by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 

Earning top ratings from some of the industry’s most important safety organizations confirms that the 2017 Buick Envision was crafted to an exceptional degree of refinement. The top safety rating also further builds the Buick brand’s reputation as a leader in quality and safety. 

Buick's newest compact SUV, the Buick Envision, arrived at our Broken Arrow dealership early this summer; since then, we've helped drivers from cities all across Oklahoma discover the luxuries the new Envision has to offer. There's Ferguson Buick Envisions driving around Tulsa, Bixby and Norman. We've even sold the Buick Envision to people outside Oklahoma; places like Abilene and Temple, Texas. There's even a Buick Envision, with a Ferguson sticker, driving around the streets of New Orleans!

First Trucks to Receive 5-Star Safety Rating

The all-new 2014 GMC Sierra was designed for work. The all-new 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 is the most powerful, most advanced and most refined truck in GMC's history. General Motors has made it a tougher, stronger truck than ever before. With it's 5.3L V8 engine capable of producing 355 HP and 383 lb-ft of torque, the Sierra offers an available class-leading max trailering of 11,500 lbs. However, there is more to this truck than pure power. Not only is Sierra's cabin engineered with innovative tech savvy features, it is also super quiet. The 2014 Sierra rides with more quiet serenity than most family cars and large sedans. And now, the 2014 GMC Sierra is backed by a five-star government safety rating. The all-new 2014 GMC Sierra (along with the 2014 Chevy Silverado) are the first pickups to win a 5-star rating.



The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 are the first pickup trucks to receive the highest possible five-star Overall Vehicle Score for safety since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration changed its New Car Assessment Program for the 2011 model year.

The updated safety standards, which went into effect in 2011, are more strenuous than the previous NHTSA curriculum and involve collecting both more and more substantial data, reflecting the improved safety inherent in newer vehicles.

The rating, the highest possible score, marks the first time any pickups have achieved that feat since the regulatory agency updated its New Car Assessment Program for the 2011 model year. The Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 pickups both received four-star ratings.

"Safety is as important to truck buyers as it is to car buyers," said Gay Kent, GM general director of Vehicle Safety and Crashworthiness. "Silverado and Sierra set a benchmark for pickup truck safety by offering a full array of advanced features designed to protect occupants before, during and after a collision."

Silverado and Sierra offer fully boxed frames, extensive use of high-strength steel, and several segment-exclusive safety features are available, including Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Safety Alert Seat.

All-in-all, the 2014 GMC Sierra provides everything you could want in a truck; power, convenience, technology, safety, and an all new look. The '14 Sierra is the perfect Oklahoma truck. Here at Ferguson Superstore, we've fallen in love with the pickup. We decided to take the 2014 GMC Sierra out for a test drive in order to better show off this truck amazing styling and capabilities.

2013 Buick Encore received five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

The all-wheel-drive 2013 Buick Encore received the maximum 5 star overall safety rating from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA). The all-wheel-drive model joins the Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, and Enclave as having a five-star overall rating from the NHTSA. All-wheel drive is an optional safety feature for the Encore. This safety feature translated into one extra star on the NHTSA's safety rating. The front-drive Buick Encore received a four-star overall rating.

Buick says the 2013 Encore was designed for young professionals and empty-nesters in mind. It's a one-of-a-kind premium subcompact crossover. It has a lavish interior, built with soft-touch material and wood accent trims, terrific fuel economy, and has plenty of storage and cargo room for its tiny subcompact size.



The front-wheel drive 2013 Encore gets 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway, while the all-wheel-drive 2013 Encore get 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.

The Encore's tiny size sets it apart. Most crossover competitors are bigger by a couple of inches; however, this does not mean that passengers are cramped. While the overall size of the Encore is smaller than most other subcompact crossovers in the market, the 2013 Encore does not lack interior space and cargo room. The Encore's front passenger seat and back seats fold flat. When all the seats are folded flat, the Encore has 48.4 cubic feet of cargo room.

Buick also made the 2013 Encore the first Buick ever employed with Bose's active noise-cancellation technology. One unique way Buick was able to give the Encore tremendous audio and noise-cancellation technology, was by placing a sub-woofer inside the spare tire found on the rear hatch of the vehicle.



The unique shape of the sub-woofer makes it hard for some people to realize exactly what it is. Not many people recognize it is a key piece in the Encore's noise-cancellation technology. There have been reports of people throwing it out when changing a tire. So, if you ever need to replace a tire in your new Buick Encore, and you take the spare out of the hatch, do not through away the sub-woofer lying in the center of the tire.

The 2013 Buick Encore has the following Package options:
  • Convenience Package - adds electrochromic inside rearview mirror, remote start, dual automatic climate control, 120V outlet and fog lamps.
  • Leather Package - adds leather upholstery, heated steering wheel, power passenger seat, heated seats, driver memory settings for seats, outside mirrors, and climate control.
  • Premium Package - adds rain-sensing wipers, premium Bose audio, front and rear park assist, forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, cargo net and cargo mat.


The 2013 Buick Encore also qualifies as an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick. The Encore joins the rest of the Buick lineup as an IIHS Top Safety Pick.
