On November 19, 2021, at the Guangzhou auto show (Auto Guangzhou 2021), China, the American car brand Buick demonstrated its innovation with the global introduction of the MPV Buick GL8 Flagship model with Extremely impressive design on both exterior and interior. The car was launched as a concept car to convey many of the brand’s messages for its upcoming products. The GL8 Flagship offers a combination of modern aesthetics, technological innovation and intelligent experiences, representing Buick’s latest exploration of creativity and imagination in mobility. future. The Buick brand was also famous in the American auto industry. However, since the company has focused more on business activities in China, the brand’s image in other international markets has become blurred. Up to now, the Buick brand is only maintained in 4 markets: the US, Canada, Mexico and China, of which the majority of Buick car sales are in China.

Currently in the US, Buick products are positioned as high-end cars, above GM products but below Cadillac. Buick is a car brand of GM (General Motors).

Returning to the newly launched Buick GL8 Flagship globally, it can be seen that the naming of the car shows the potential of the product, with the orientation to go into production, not simply a design demonstration model. . The reason for saying so is because currently Buick is also selling high-end MPV cars called GL8 in China, such as the GL8 ES Lu Zun or GL8 Business version.

With the suffix “Flagship”, it is clear that Buick wants to show that the car converges the essence of the product, as a flagship model for the GL8 line that Buick is aiming for.

The Buick GL8 Flagship was created by Shanghai-based design experts PATAC, integrating global resources. The car’s exterior design makes a strong impression with sculpted surfaces that highlight power and energy. A distinct mix of exterior colors and a panoramic roof feature a separate glass canopy that extends from front to rear for improved aerodynamics. Buick’s signature wing-shaped headlights continue to develop on the GL8 Flagship. In Vietnam, many people are familiar with MPV lines with bold designs like the Toyota Alphard or the more luxurious version like the Lexus LM. The appearance of the Buick GL8 Flagship also has bold, sharp and strong lines. The tail of the GL8 Flagship is even more impressive with an unprecedented shape. Taillights curved in two corners create a special highlight. If the exterior of the GL8 Flagship scored points, Buick also made viewers admire with its luxurious and beautiful interior design that is difficult to describe in words. With a 4-seat structure, in which the 2-seat rear bench is also divided independently to create privacy for the owners, while the two front seats are as splendid as salons. An interesting point is that the front passenger seat can be rotated backwards, creating convenience in case you need to interact and discuss directly with the two people in the back. The interior color scheme of the GL8 Flagship is also attractive and luxurious, with the main color being royal blue, combined with yellow decorative details, supplemented with black lines.

Clean, natural and sculptural details are an essential part of interior design. Soft reclining seats and flexible seating arrangements allow the separate cabin to become an open space for all occupants.

The vehicle is equipped with a 30-inch driver-focused free-form display, an integrated touchscreen on the steering wheel and an advanced full-width display. The premium sound system is integrated into the headrest. Nearly all vehicle functions can be controlled with advanced voice commands.

Thanks to the integration of V2X smart mobility technology, GL8 Flagship provides a safe and comfortable autonomous driving experience. As a concept, Buick does not provide specific information about the operating system. But if we follow current industry trends, if the car is equipped with a pure electric propulsion system, it is not surprising.

Clearly, what Buick has shown with the GL8 Flagship is very impressive and convincing, and many people will certainly expect Buick to soon put this GL8 Flagship into commercial production.
