Today the car to do maintenance, by the way to visit the surrounding 4S shop, into the Buick 4S store, I found a legendary car sound, why is this model called a legendary car? Because this model has a long history, the controversy has been very loud, some people say that it is a South Korean Daewoo car, just hung with the Buick logo, but with the advantage of low price, it was definitely the shoulder handle of Buick sales. Later, this model was discontinued, less support from the handle, Buick's market share fell rapidly, and after a year or two, Buick resurrected this model, so I said that this is a more legendary model, this model is Buick Kaiyue.
In fact, last year, I went to the 4S shop to see the car and found the Buick Kaiyue test drive, but the sales told me that there was no existing car in their store, and it was not sold after the clearance, but I did not expect that this year I actually saw the figure of this model again. Now the domestic brand competitiveness is relatively wide, so buick Kaiyue this model of the discount is really big, the manufacturer guidance price of 83,900 ~ 99,900 yuan, this model discount is quite powerful. Why are the offers big? In fact, the sales volume is not very good, the total sales in 21 years is only 3502 vehicles, and the sales volume is about 300 a month, which is basically not much different from the suspension of production. But it is clear that Buick is not willing to give up this model and is still selling at a reduced price.
From the appearance of the design, in fact, Buick Kaiyue still has a certain value, at least than many of the new energy vehicles at this price point to be more fashionable, shield-shaped air intake net, eagle-shaped headlights have a good aesthetic, but unfortunately, the new car is certainly not equipped with lenses.
From the side, this model is actually a bit similar to a chevrolet model, and it is also equipped with a very old antenna, with a little retro feeling. The new car uses the design of aluminum alloy wheels, the specific size is R15, in fact, there was a time when Buick used iron wheels.
The design of the rear of the model is a little similar to that of Buick Yinglang, and the taillights are designed in the shape of a boomerang, and the fashion sense is still good. In the body data part, the length, width and height of this Buick Kaiyue are 4468/1765/1469mm, and the wheelbase is 2611mm.
The exterior design of this Buick Kaiyue is not bad, let's go inside the car and take a look. Buick Kaiyue's interior design does have a sense of age, and even some friends said that they were shocked to see such an interior in 2022, and the use of large areas of hard plastic made the interior style look a little low. The central control part, on the high-end model is equipped with a seven-inch touch LCD screen, I think this is also one of the biggest advantages of this model. In addition, the high-end model is equipped with a small sunroof.
As for the rear seating space, it is more general, and the rear headrest has no way to lift and lower, which is very inconsistent with the current consumer demand for cars.
Let's take a look at the power system of this Buick Kaiyue, the power is indeed fuel-efficient, but the consumers who really like it should be relatively few, why do you say so? It is equipped with a 1.3-liter naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 107 horsepower and a peak torque of 133 N·m, and is a five-speed manual transmission and a CVT continuously variable gearbox, which is a three-cylinder engine.
I come to give Buick Kaiyue a trick, this three-cylinder car will not be produced again, is not the pursuit of new energy vehicles now, it can be designed into a pure electric new energy vehicle by the way of oil to electricity, just like Ben Ben E-Star, I believe that with the low price strategy, there should be something to do.
