The versatility of a model is its value embodiment, so the domestic consumer group has a high attachment to the space capacity in the car, and enough space means the superposition of comfort, and it can also place more items. Whether it's luggage you need to carry on a trip or occasionally carry goods, models with large spaces tend to be more convenient to use.
Then in recent years, the MPV market has continued to grow, no longer giving a single large space capacity, but on this basis, it also takes into account the needs of family travel, as well as more comfort. Taking these directions as a starting point, under the competition of MPV, most people seem to be more inclined to the Buick GL8.
In the 2021 Tencent Auto's "National God Car" selection activity, the support rate of Buick GL8 was as high as 47.6%, becoming the "Big Space God Car" with the highest support rate among the shortlisted models. The reason for the model selection is that it can be "one car multi-purpose, IKEA yi business, travel tools", and "super spacious interior space, even the third row of passengers are very satisfied".
Therefore, the space advantage of this model also creates its practical value, the model provides 4-seater, 6-seater and 7-seater versions for users to choose from, but most users will consider its 6-seater or 7-seater model. Because the three-row seating layout in the car can accommodate more family members, and the reasonable allocation of space is suitable for members of all ages of the family.
The front seating space has a good reservation, and the independent seat layout can separate the control area of the main driver's seat and the riding area of the passenger seat, which is suitable for young people in the family. The seats in the second row are mostly functional, and the space arrangement will be centered on comfort, so it will be more suitable for the elders in the family to ride.
Children in the third row will have a high level of safety, the third row of seats in the car is actually not crowded, even if adults sit in the back row will be more comfortable, but children will most of the time prefer independent space, and the third row of seat space atmosphere can be satisfied. In addition, the third row of seat backrests can be folded to increase the amount of storage in the tail box.
If the three rows of seats in the car are in normal use, the space in the tail box is not small, there is a certain capacity basis, and there is enough space for the conventional luggage that needs to be carried on the trip. In addition to the approximate space allocation, the car has also made reasonable use of small spaces, and more small storage slots have been designed to place some scattered items.
The low-end version of the comfort type of seat material is made of fabric, and the rest of the model version is made of imitation leather + leather material, and the seat of the fabric material has good breathability, but it is not as convenient as the leather material when taking care of it. In addition, the steering wheel of the Comfort version is made of plastic material, and the steering wheel of the remaining model version is covered with leather material, and the feel of leather material is often warmer and more saturated than plastic material.
The models are the same in terms of power, the whole series is equipped with a 2.0T displacement turbo engine with in-line four cylinders as standard, and the power value given is not small, with a horsepower value of 237 Ps, while the torque is given 350N·m. The matching gearbox belongs to the 9AT, the hand-integrated gearbox has a good transmission efficiency, and this power value drives the model enough, and it will not feel difficult because of the large body size.
summary:
The Buick GL8's sales remain in the front row of the MPV list, so this model is recognized by users as a practical model. Because its development direction will be more balanced, and it does not reduce the space effect of the third row because of the three-row seat layout, nor does it sacrifice the tail box space to retain the seat space, and then the model is undoubtedly excellent in terms of space allocation. However, the fuel consumption of the model may be higher, after all, the body of the car is large, the displacement is not small, and if the car is fully loaded, the fuel consumption will also increase. But if you take your family out for a trip or outing in your spare time, buick GL8 will be a good choice.
