China’s automotive scene is abuzz with activity, thanks to the 2024 Beijing Auto Show opening its doors on April 25. Local and international automakers are making appearances, showcasing many new vehicles for enthusiasts to admire.
Among the latest revealing is the Buick GL8 Lu Zun PHEV, adding an electrified twist to the popular minivan. Boasting a combination of a 1.5L forced induction engine and an electric motor, this plug-in hybrid variant delivers a robust 391 hp and 428 pound-foot of torque, making it surprisingly agile for a minivan with a 7.8-second sprint to 62 mph.
Safety features abound in the GL8 PHEV, including automatic emergency braking, lane centering, and adaptive cruise control, enhancing convenience and peace of mind. Stylistically, it receives updates such as a split-lighting signature, refreshed grille, and new taillights, alongside interior luxuries like Nappa leather upholstery, multi-zone climate control, and a rear-seat entertainment system.
With a starting price of 359,900 yuan, roughly $50,000, the GL8 PHEV offers an enticing blend of performance, comfort, and efficiency. Would you like to see this model available in our market?
