It is worth noting that Buick GL8 focuses on barrier-free travel and innovatively introduces the newly developed version of the well-being model.

The interior part is also the highlight of Buick GL8 ES. The double 12.3-inch instrument and the central control panel are suspended, and the cockpit is decorated with leather soft bags, chrome trim strips, exquisite stitches and other details, creating a good sense of luxury and technology. The new car inherits the long-distance comfortable seat design concept of GL8. The material of the three rows of seats is imported high-quality cowhide, which has formed the quality of "full grain" through 38 tanning processes, with exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous workmanship.
Among them, the second row of luxury VIP seats adopts DHH vertical double-hardness cushion foaming technology which has national patents and is more ergonomic.

After having a basic understanding of the two models, let's take a look at which models are most worth buying when choosing a car.
New generation Buick GL8
In terms of Buick GL8, the first model promoted by Xiao Zhi is the 652T luxury model of 2020 land business class, with the official guide price of 258,900 yuan, which is 26,000 yuan more expensive than the entry-level model, but with more reversing images, cruise control, electric sunroof, right electric left-hand sliding door, keyless entry for the whole vehicle, 65,438+02-inch touch LCD screen, voice recognition control system and so on.
If you buy Buick GL8 mainly for business purposes, you can buy the distinguished model directly. Of course, the launch of Ankang Edition can also expand the audience. If you have special travel needs, it is worth considering.
New generation Buick GL8 ES
For Buick GL8 ES, Xiao Zhi first launched the 2020 ES Road Zun 653T exclusive model with an official guide price of 339,900 yuan. Although the configuration of entry-level models is rich enough, the main purpose is to increase travel comfort in consideration of the audience's demand for car purchase. Then, with the addition of entry-level vehicles such as parallel assistance, lane departure warning system, reversing image, adaptive cruise, automatic parking, leather seats, front seat heating and rear seat heating, the 2020 ES Road Zun 653T exclusive car can give you a better travel experience.
In fact, from the perspective of price and positioning, Buick GL8 has few competitors in the price range of 200,000-300,000 yuan, and it is likely to attract more potential customers of Honda Odyssey with its good space performance and long-term accumulated user reputation.
However, in the price range of 300,000-400,000 yuan, the biggest competitor of Buick GL8 ES in the future will be SAIC Volkswagen Wei Ran, which was officially listed on May 28th. According to the known product information of SAIC Volkswagen, this car is slightly inferior to Buick GL8 in power performance, but it has an advantage in body size data. The configuration of the two models is basically at the mainstream level, but it is undeniable that the configuration of Buick GL8 ES equipped with dual 12.3-inch large screen and streaming rearview mirror can reflect a good sense of science and technology. Therefore, Buick GL8 and Volkswagen Wei Ran, which have more preferential treatment and better after-sales service, will be more likely to win when the brand influence is almost the same.
The listing of the new generation Buick GL8 and Buick GL8 ES has undoubtedly improved the product matrix of the GL8 family, and captured the markets of different price segments through product classification. This approach is much smarter than the launch of a single model, especially the launch of a new generation of Buick GL8 welfare model, which has expanded the consumer groups. Coupled with the good market performance of Buick GL8 before, it can be said that the future market prospect can be expected.
