SHANGHAI – Buick announced today that its all-new flagship MPV, the GL8 CENTURY, will make its global premiere at the upcoming Buick China Brand Day.
“Since its debut in 2000, the GL8 has built an unparalleled presence in the premium MPV segment through five generations,” said Cesar Toledo, general director of Buick at SAIC-GM. “The all-new GL8 CENTURY will keep up the momentum, introducing a new era of luxurious MPV transportation.”
The latest member of the GL8 family is tailored for a new generation of social and business elites and affluent Chinese consumers to suit their personal, professional and family needs.
It continues the modernization of Buick’s design language, drawing inspiration from oriental esthetics and digital technology. With an extended wheelbase of 3,130 mm and a width of 1,980 mm, the GL8 CENTURY has a wide stance that gives it a spacious interior while conveying confidence. A two-tone exterior enhances its prestigious styling.
The GL8 CENTURY integrates expressive design with intelligent technology as well as refined craftsmanship to further elevate the luxurious experience. It incorporates cutting-edge hardware and software applications, which is evident in amenities such as the foldable smart screen in the middle of the cabin that adds a feeling of exclusiveness to the quiet and relaxed ride.
The GL8 CENTURY flagship model will join the ES and Legacy variants to reinforce Buick’s leading position in large premium MPVs and meet diverse customer preferences in China.
Buick has found success offering premium SUVs and cars with sculptural designs, refined performance, modern interiors and thoughtful personal technologies. Buick’s award-winning customer service and sales experience, along with the Avenir trim, the highest expression of Buick luxury, are attracting new buyers to experience Buick’s unique approach to attainable luxury in North America and China.
