Buick teases new crossover for China

Buick recently released a teaser for a crossover destined for their most crucial market in the world: China.

The new crossover is expected to be a midsize model that will sit in between the Encore and the full-size Enclave. It’s set to be revealed later this year and will sport the name, Envision.

Not much is known, but there is speculation that the new Envision crossover should find its way onto our shores not too long afterwards, especially since Buick only offers the compact Encore and larger Enclave with no compromise in between.

For a brief press rundown, check it out after the jump.

SHANGHAI – Shanghai GM today announced that its all-new high-end midsize SUV, the Buick Envision, will make its premiere in China later this year.

Inspired by the Buick Envision concept vehicle, the newest member of the Buick SUV family has dynamic and assertive styling. It fuses iconic Buick design cues with the brand’s new high-end, refined global design concepts.

The Envision adopts a new-generation powertrain along with GM’s new all-wheel-drive technology. The fuel-saving start/stop technology will come standard across the line. The model is destined to set a new benchmark in China’s high-end midsize SUV segment for space, safety, performance and specifications.

The new model will complement the Encore and new Enclave in Buick’s China SUV portfolio, providing a range of choices for SUV buyers.
