Due to the late start of many independent car brands, in the early years in the relatively niche field, the sales of strong models of joint venture brands can basically reach a monopoly state, such as for a long time in the MPV circle, Buick GL8 is the existence of the big devil, the sales of this car can be described as a unique gear. However, the situation is different now, just compare the sales data in the first few months of this year, among which the Denza D9 has repeatedly overwhelmed the Buick GL8 to become the MPV sales king. Seeing that the status is not guaranteed, the Buick GL8 obviously has to adapt to the general situation, and it is time to launch a new energy version.
Recently, a new batch of applications from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was released, and we finally waited for the hybrid version of the Buick GL8 official announcement. First of all, let's talk about dry goods, the hybrid Buick GL8 will be divided into two options: unplugged and plug-in, of course, it is not the main thing, equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, equipped with a set of ternary lithium batteries that are not large in size, which can realize kinetic energy recovery and further reduce fuel consumption data. This method is actually closer to the Toyota Sena, of course, it can't be on the green card.
The real highlight is the plug-in hybrid version, this version of the declaration information is determined to be equipped with a small displacement 1.5T turbocharged engine, although the output of this internal combustion engine is only 132 kilowatts, but the parameters of the motor have been determined in the remarks, including a 74 kilowatt motor, and a 160 kilowatt motor, and it is determined that it can be charged externally, which is the real big killer, which can greatly improve the comprehensive performance and greatly reduce the cost of an MPV model.
The size change is not very big, it is still the product positioning of medium and large MPV, the total length of the body is 5219mm, the width is 1878mm, and the wheelbase is 3088mm. However, after the launch, the main version should still be a large seven-seater, after all, the rear space of the Buick GL8 car is enough.
The exterior design is a bit unfamiliar at first glance, but the previous Buick Century model has given you spoilers, and now this new front face does not look so abrupt, with a large size of the air intake grille with split lights on both sides, and the side of the body has not changed much, after all, in order to maintain space utilization, the roof is still very flat, and the interesting thing is that the door handle has been hidden.
The current situation is not very optimistic for many joint venture brands, and for Buicland, this GL8 model is not to be lost, and it can even be said to be the basic plate in the Chinese market, and the plug-in hybrid version should not have a significant brand premium, as long as the final pricing is restrained, then the next competition for Denza D9 has a chance to win.
Here comes the question, how much do you think the Buick GL8 plug-in hybrid version will be priced? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area, fans will discuss together! Spend a second to pay attention and make good friends for life! Some pictures come from the Internet, it is not easy to write articles, and I look forward to watching the officials with one click three times.
