Buick Flagship MPV Debuts as New GL8 Family Leader, Even Larger Than Century with Up to 632 km Range​​

At present, we have obtained a set of real-life images of the Buick Flagship Family from the internet. This model will become the new flagship of the GL8 family, positioned above the Century, and will be available in both plug-in hybrid and all-electric versions. The Buick Flagship Family is built on the all-new Xiaoyao Architecture, integrating Buick's advanced technologies in intelligent driving, intelligent chassis, and intelligent cockpit.

Judging from the real-life images, the vehicle features a relatively large body size. The new model measures 5260/2023/1820mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 3160mm. It is 30mm longer, 43mm wider, 47mm lower, and has a 30mm longer wheelbase compared to the Century.

As a new energy vehicle, the front fascia features a hidden lower grille design, adopting the brand's latest design language. The daytime running lights on both sides are connected by a chrome trim strip, with vertically placed split headlight units below, giving the overall lighting a strong design sense. The vehicle adopts a two-tone color scheme and is equipped with a LiDAR unit on the front. The rear features a full-width taillight design incorporating 257 ultra-red LEDs, providing higher visibility in adverse weather conditions. The lights integrate seamlessly with the rear window, showcasing a distinct design aesthetic. The tailgate remains wide for convenient luggage loading.

Inside, the cabin features a sleek one-piece full-width screen, designed to not obstruct the driver's view. It is powered by the Qualcomm SA8775P chip and offers a 50-inch panoramic AR-HUD (Augmented Reality Head-Up Display). The A-pillars have a steep rake and incorporate triangular windows, while the roof is lined with suede-like material. Below the center console, there are wireless charging panels and storage spaces. The seats are generally wide, thick, and feature unique textures.

In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the new model is equipped with Buick's new "Xiaoyao Zhixing" high-level advanced driver-assistance system. Leveraging Momenta's R6 Flywheel large model algorithm and reinforcement learning capabilities, and supported by redundancy from numerous top-tier sensors including LiDAR, it provides full-scenario assisted driving functions such as urban NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) and all-type parking assistance.

For powertrain, the plug-in hybrid model features the "Zhenlong" plug-in hybrid system, consisting of a 1.5T engine and an electric motor. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 132 kW and uses a lithium iron phosphate battery as the energy storage unit. The all-electric model is equipped with front and rear dual motors, rated at 332 kW and 150 kW respectively, powered by a CATL lithium iron phosphate battery. It offers a driving range of 601km and 632km, with a top speed of 180 km/h.
