"Buick": a lineup and description

Buick is a world-famous division of General Motors. This company was created specifically for the domestic market of North America and China. However, Buick, whose lineup is not so diverse, offers in these two markets completely different and unrelated cars.

A little about the company

The company was founded in 1902. A year later, the light saw the first model, and four later the company was joined to the concern of General Motors. Beginning in 1998, only inexpensive and budgetary cars came under the brand "Buick". The model range for today is rather meager and weakly distinguished from the gray mass. Attention to it can attract only a rare brand of cars.

Officials in Russia and CIS countries have no company, so all prices in the article are indicated in dollars. Consider the Buick range. Price, specifications and a brief description of each car - all this you will find in this article.

At the moment, the company's lineup will feature three sedans, one convertible, two crossover.

Buick Verano

This city car "Buick" was launched in 2011. In the Chinese market is sold under the name Excell GT, but externally and on the technical equipment is no different from its American counterpart.

The sedan is built on the Opel Astra platform. The car has a 2.4-liter gasoline engine and 180 horsepower. The company's assortment also has a powerful turbocharged version with 250 horses on board. Verano comes with either a manual transmission or an automatic. In 2016, it is expected to release a new generation of the car, which will noticeably refresh and breathe new life into an out-of-date sedan for 5 years. The cost of this car starts from 20 thousand dollars.

Buick Regal

The second sedan of the brand "Buick". The company's lineup, as you can see, does not stand out as a variety. This car is a class higher than Verano.

According to official data, the sedan accelerates to hundreds in 6 seconds.

SUVs

In this segment there are not so many cars under the brand "Buick". The range of crossovers is represented by Encore and Enclave. Their cost is 24 and 39 thousand dollars respectively. The first model is a compact city SUV, which is why it is much cheaper than its older brother. Encore is designed exclusively for the city and permanent traffic jams, so the engine manufacturers have installed the corresponding: 1.4 liters and 138 horsepower.

Enclave - luxury crossover company "Buick". Full-fledged, capacious, beautiful - all these epithets can not be by the way come to this car. The price for Enclave starts at 39 thousand dollars, which does not pull the middle class. But the crossover justifies its high cost.

And, finally, thirdly, surprising spaciousness: Enclave can safely perform the role of a family car.
