Comparison Review

Comfort
The Buick Envista offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Honda HR-V, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Buick Envista and the Honda HR-V.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Envista as you will with the Honda HR-V, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Buick Envista will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Honda HR-V.
