The Envista’s optional tires have a lower 45 series profile than the Rogue SL/Platinum’s 55 series tires.
Chassis
The Buick Envista may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 300 to 600 pounds less than the Nissan Rogue.
The front grille of the Envista uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Rogue doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The Envista’s standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility. Nissan only offers heated mirrors on the Rogue SV/SL/Platinum.
The Envista Avenir’s standard rear view mirror and optional side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature.
