With this electric crossover coupé you will really shine!
Many brands are no longer active in the Netherlands. Think Daihatsu, Lancia and Buick. The latter brand was perfect in the Netherlands if you wanted a large box with a big engine for little. There used to be no CO2 tax, but regular BPM. In the early 1990s you bought a Park Avenue for a ton in guilders.
That car was considerably larger and a lot more fully equipped than a BMW 7 Series. Great deal. Buick disappeared from the scene in the Netherlands in the 1990s. Buick is a kind of semi-luxury brand between Chevrolet and Cadillac. In some cases, Buick used an Opel model in the US to sell as Buick. With moderate success, because Buick also has a hard time surviving in the US.
Crossover Coupe
However, the Buick name is extremely strong in China and they sell cars in abundance there. You also immediately know why GM keeps this brand alive. The funny thing is, there are often models for the Chinese market that should also be able to succeed in Europe or the US, such as this Buick Envista. That is the newest member of the family.
It is a medium crossover measuring 4.64 meters long, 1.82 meters wide and 1.56 meters high. The wheelbase is 2.70 meters. To get an idea of the size, the Buick Envista is the same size as a Renault Arkana in all respects, except for the length. The Buick is 10 centimeters longer.
Hard to comprehend
Then the engine of this crossover coupe. Yes, in singular because, as is often the case in China, this model is offered with only one engine. It is a 1.5 liter with turbo that transfers 181 pedaling horsepower to the front wheels through a CVT. From 0-100 km/h happens in a barely comprehensible 7.9 seconds.
In short, a neat car if you want to make a splash at the knitting club or the goat breeding association. Would you consider it or can it go in China stay?
