Not long ago, with the reform of the new traffic regulations, seven-seat MPV models did not need to be tested once every two years, and adopted the same testing standards as family cars, and were exempted from annual inspection for the first six years. Many professionals optimistically estimate that MPV models will usher in a big explosion, and it is indeed the best policy for many friends who like go on road trip.

So who is the sales champion in MPV models? Undoubtedly, Buick's? GL8。 This model has been the champion of MPV list for many years in a row. Of course, here are some micro-surface models that have been eliminated.

Many people think that Buick GL8 is imported from abroad. Actually, the Buick GL8 is actually a special car for China, and there is no such model abroad. However, with preconceived ideas and Buick's spending a lot of money to update its products, this model has been firmly sitting on the throne of MPV champion.

Why did you suddenly talk about this model today? Mainly because the price of this GL8 model has fluctuated greatly recently.

In our impression, there is almost no discount for Buick GL8, but I learned from Changzhou Buick dealers that this model actually has a discount range of 5000 yuan-10000 yuan.

First of all, let's take a look at the price of this GL8 model. The manufacturer's guide price of this Buick GL8 is 232,900 yuan to 529,900 yuan.

Maybe everyone has some questions. Why is the price difference of this model so big? In fact, there are two models in this part of the price. One is what we often call business class, the shape design of chubby head fish, and its guide price is 232,900 yuan to 329,900 yuan. The other one is the Buick GL8ES version, and the manufacturer's guide price is 299,900 yuan to 529,900 yuan. What we are talking about here is the ES version.

In the design part, the design of this GL8 model is really very atmospheric and classic, which gives us a very stable feeling. The front part of the car uses a shield-shaped blackened air intake net, which is connected with the light groups on both sides, and the chrome trim strips extending from both sides of Buick logo continue to the inside of the light groups. So if you look carefully at the design of the lamp group of this model, it is actually a bit strange. But from the overall visual point of view, the business atmosphere is relatively strong, and sports elements are added to the business atmosphere.

The side of the model looks slender and commercial, and it is equipped with multiple wheels and privacy glass, which makes the business temperament of this model more outstanding, which is one of the reasons why many stars like to use Buick GL8 for shuttle. In fact, the rear side of the model does not use too much decoration, but it is clean and neat as a whole.

In fact, the positioning of Buick GL8 is not the same as that of Honda Odyssey and Ailishen. This is a seven-seat MPV model that is completely commercial. But over the years, more and more families have introduced it into the category of family cars, and what they value is its large space and strong loading capacity.

So what about the actual parameters of this GL8 model? The length, width and height are 5219/1878/1805 mm, and the wheelbase is 3088 mm. The seven-seat layout is adopted, and the seat layout is 2+2+3. Of course, there are also customized versions of the four-seat design.

In the interior part, the interior part of this GL8 model is designed to be very modern and simple, with a 12.3-inch floating screen, electronic gear handles and four sports steering wheels. The whole central control looks simple. In fact, from the whole front row of the second row, you can hardly see many physical buttons in the front row. The advantage of this is that it looks more modern and does not occupy a position, laying a solid foundation for spacious space.

The second row of seats is the soul of this model. On the middle and high models, the second row of seats is equipped with a series of configurations such as massage, ventilation, heating and leg rest, which is called first class design. In addition, equipped with a segmented skylight, the long wheelbase makes the passengers in the car not only comfortable to sit up, but also very convenient for people to move in the car. By the way, this GL8 model is also equipped with double-deck sound insulation glass and bose stereo, which provides a very good condition for the comfort of the whole vehicle.

The power part of Buick GL8 is 2.0T turbocharged power, with a maximum power of 237 HP and a peak torque of 350N? M, matched with a nine-speed automatic manual transmission.

In fact, not only Buick models, including Chevrolet and Cadillac, the 2.0T engines are all the same engine, but there are differences in data adjustment.

As for the chassis structure, this GL8 model adopts the front McPherson independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension.

Generally speaking, despite its shortcomings, Buick GL8 is undeniably second to none in this price range or in this field, and its performance in all aspects is relatively balanced. In the commercial vehicle market in China, Buick GL8 has won the first prize because it entered the market early, so consumers in China still trust it.

If you are interested in this model, welcome to Changzhou Buick dealers for tasting, test drive and further understanding of detailed preferential information.
