With the strong rise of independent car brands and the arrival of the new energy trend, even the circle that originally seemed relatively niche has now become a red sea of involution, such as the MPV field, there was really no sense of existence of domestic cars, including GL8, which can be sold lying down, because there are few competitors on the table. But now the times are different, and Buick GL8 can no longer sit firmly in its own position as the boss, especially to cater to the domestic new energy trend.

Recently, the new Buick GL8 plug-in hybrid version has been launched, please note that this is a proper new energy version, not the unplugged dual-engine hybrid of Toyota. The starting guide price of Buick GL8 new energy version is 359,600, and the guide price of the highest luxury version is 419,900, which can be said to be not too many surprises nor disappointing in this price range.

This time, the third-row seats have been added with an electric folding function, and the front row also has a hollow armrest box suspension island design, which is significantly improved compared to the traditional version.

The exterior design is, of course, Buick's new generation of family design style, and this new shape has been reflected in the previous Buick Century. At the front, there is a larger grille for air intake, while the sides are split lights, and the upper part is the effect of squinting daytime running lights. The side of the body is still very recognizable, and you can see at a glance that this is the Buick GL8, and the rear through-lights are also catering to the trend.

The technological atmosphere in the car is already in place, especially the center console directly installed a whole 30-inch curved large screen, there is no seam in the middle, and it is 6K resolution, this year's main version of Buick's models are almost replaced with the same large screen, the key is Qualcomm 8155 chip blessing, if compared with the traditional screen configuration of Toyota Saina, there is already a sense of difference in the times, and Buick GL8 plug-in hybrid version is equipped with L2 assisted driving as standard.

Because of the use of plug-in hybrid technology system, so there is no need for a large displacement of the internal combustion engine, this time just chose a 1.5T small displacement turbocharged engine, this is a four-cylinder engine to run more stable, the maximum output of 180 horsepower is also good. The key matching electric motor system output 218 horsepower, the system comprehensive output of 397 horsepower, the maximum torque of 580 Nm, in fact, has exceeded the performance of many mainstream 3.0T turbocharged V6 engines, and will be more aggressive than the original fuel version of the 2.0T.

What's more, the plug-in hybrid system directly reduces the cost of using the car, and the fuel consumption can be controlled within 7 liters per 100 kilometers even in the state of power loss.
