Buick GL8 MPV
Ever since it first went on sale in 2000, the Buick
GL8 has been a key member for the brand's lineup in the People's Republic.
Last year alone, 76,607 units were handed over to
their owners across the Asian country, helping the automaker become the
third-largest passenger vehicle brand locally, and since the MPV has turned out
to be so popular, Buick has given it a new generation.
Adopting the company's new global design language,
the 2017 Buick GL8 follows a series of leaked images that popped onto the web
earlier this year, and it's said to be enhanced all-around in its styling,
technology, powertrain and features.
The "luxury MPV", as Buick likes to refer
to it, has more optimized space than the vehicle it replaces and it comes with
shorter front and rear overhangs, and an increased height, while maintaining
the segment-leading 3,088 mm wheelbase.
The GM-owned brand has yet to release an extensive
photo gallery and full details of the new GL8, but previous info states that
the interior has been significantly updated. Moreover, a new multi-link rear
suspension is said to improve its handling, ride and comfort, while the engine
lineup could gain a 2.0-liter, four cylinder, turbocharged unit, rated at
roughly 250 horsepower.
