New Spy Shots of the upcoming Buick GL6 for China,
showing the new MPV during a photo shoot. The GL6
will be launched on the Chinese car market in 2018, debut is expected for the
Guangzhou Auto Show in November.
The GL6 is largely based on the Opel Zafira Tourer; it was developed before General
Motors sold the Opel brand to PSA. And that makes this GL6 most likely the last
Opel-based Buick.
Power comes from a new 1.3 liter turbocharged petrol
engine with 156 hp. Dimension size is 4692/1794/1626 mm, and wheelbase is 2976 mm. Price will start around US$ 25,000.
The GL6 will be aimed at young families living in
big cities. Small and mid-size MPV’s are a fast growing market segment in
China, stealing away sales from sedans and even from SUVs.
