In terms of appearance, the appearance of the Buick GL8 Luzun PHEV adopts the pure design concept in the same vein as the CENTURY, which vividly interprets the oriental heritage. At the same time, the new car adopts a large trapezoidal front grille design, which looks more vivid and expressive.
On the side of the body, the biggest highlight of the new car is that it is equipped with a hidden door handle, and when you get close to the vehicle with the key, the door handle will automatically pop out, which is full of ceremony. In terms of wheels, the new car is equipped with 18-inch 24-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, which combine a smooth surface with a rotating curved surface, highlighting the exquisite and unique potential energy shape between movement and stillness.
At the rear of the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle is equipped with crystal clear LED through-type taillights, which are integrated with the orderly rear of the car, showing a high degree of recognition. And the only light-guided induction tailgate in the same class accurately recognizes the foot-pedal, kicking, and foot-sweeping movements, which is more sensitive and more elegant in operation.
In the interior, the new car adopts a minimalist design and interprets the concept of luxury enjoyment in place, and the multi-function steering wheel is embellished with chrome strips, which further strengthens the luxury attributes in the car. In terms of details, the places that can be touched by hands are wrapped in soft materials, and the integrated 6K display also improves the sense of technology in the car. It is worth mentioning that the new car is also equipped with a concierge smart island, which can reach a maximum of 260mm of forward and rear sliding travel, maximizing the front passage.
In addition, the mid-to-high-spec model is equipped with a 17-inch ceiling screen and supports manual operation.
In terms of space, the length, width and height of the all-new GL8 Luzun PHEV are 5219mm*1878mm*1807mm, and the wheelbase reaches 3088mm. The new car is available in 6-seater and 7-seater versions, of which the 6-seater version of the third-row independent VIP seats can be electrically adjusted, and also provide heating and ventilation functions, creating a "VIP experience".
In terms of power, the Buick GL8 Luzun PHEV is equipped with a 1.5T hybrid engine with a comprehensive power of 292kW, a comprehensive torque of 580Nm, and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.8s.

In addition, the new car also provides a 3.3kW external discharge function, which is compatible with common electrical appliances and tools, and is developed in accordance with the national standard, so that outdoor electricity is more assured.
Summary:
In recent years, Buick GL8 has accumulated a lot of sales and user reputation, defining the early MPV market. However, with the efforts of various domestic car companies in the MPV market in recent years, the previous GL8 models were somewhat inadequate. However, with the launch of the all-new GL8 Luzun PHEV, which can occupy a place in the hybrid MPV market, it is believed that the all-new GL8 Luzun PHEV will deliver a satisfactory market answer.
