The presentation new concepts from Buick in Shanghai enters into tradition – this year have presented business-miniveins. The car has been developed in Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) taking into account features of the Chinese market and requirements of local businessmen. General Motors was created by the car in cooperation with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC).
Clear that experiment with lateral glass now have begun many car manufactures, good example is a little last concept from Hyundai. Here only in this case designers used course already familiar to us - have made a step after front doors, as well as on Citroen C4 Picasso. Here only is more expressive. A basic element lateral body – the chromeplated insert connecting front optics and tail lights. It is also the bottom line of lateral glasses. The general stylistics of a body, and small things (optics, air intakes, a radiator enclosure) are executed in the spirit of the last кconcept marks. Buick Business Concept rather big: the length makes 5 278 mm, width of 1 985 mm and height of 1 809 mm at a wheelbase in 3 198 mm. Leans miniveins on 20-inch disks.
The average rack at concept is not present – so inconveniences with an input/exit at passengers should not be. Places only 6, but so admire! Comfortable armchairs are fitted by a beige skin, and the soft floor is executed in pleasant claret colour. Armchairs of an average number turn on 225 degrees about the axis – during negotiations or a walking trip it is possible to settle down somehow.
Buick Business Concept have equipped with the newest hybrid power-plant working together with the 2,4-litre four-cylinder motor. A drive gear front, and transmission – six-step "automatic machine". The Cruising range without refuelling and additional charge reaches 700 kilometres. Dynamics for such car at level – 12,9 seconds to "hundred", and the maximum speed makes 190 kilometres per hour.
About a batch production yet is not told , however this business-minivein have a very good chance to get on the conveyor. All depends on wishes of Chineses.
