CarScoops reader Brett recently spied the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia in Colorado, but they were accompanied by a mysterious sedan. While there’s no word on what the model is, it’s presumably a Buick for China. That remains to be seen, but the model incorporates a few features from Buick’s new design language that was unveiled earlier this year. In particular, the screen for the left headlight has a sweptback shape that mimics the headlights found on the Electra-X and Wildcat concepts as well as the upcoming Envista and GL8 Century. There are also a handful of other styling cues shared with the Envista including a low-mounted grille with horizontal bars. They’re joined by similar mirrors and streamlined bodywork.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much else to
see other than temporary headlights and a rounded front bumper. That being
said, the model appears pretty sizable and this suggests the vehicle could
potentially be a Regal or LaCrosse successor as both are getting long in tooth.
That’s just a guess, but Buick has
previously said they’ll introduce 12 new products through 2025, including five
all-new electric vehicles for China. This doesn’t appear to be an EV, but the
company has previously promised electric sedans based on the Ultium platform. Since
we’re not entirely sure this is a Buick, it’s too early to talk about
specifications. However, if it is, we shouldn’t expect to see the sedan offered
stateside as Buick has transitioned into a crossover-only brand in America.
