Recently, spy photos of the Buick Electra-X being road-tested have been exposed. The Electra-X was first unveiled by the Buick brand on June 1st of this year, which was the brand’s new product day, and it made its first appearance at the Buick booth at the 2022 Chengdu Auto Show.
As a concept car, the overall appearance of the Buick Electra-X retains the design of the split headlights and large mouth similar to those on the Buick Enclave, but the existing design has been radicalized, possibly due to the nature of the concept car.
Currently, the overall appearance of the vehicle is still heavily disguised, and it looks very similar to the previously released Buick Envision. However, the grille on the disguised vehicle is completely closed, proving that this is a pure electric vehicle.
In terms of the side profile, the test vehicle does not show the coupe posture of the concept car, and the lines at the rear are straighter. As a mid-to-large-sized pure electric SUV, the straighter lines can create a more spacious seating space. However, they are not as dynamic as the exaggerated sloping lines on the concept car.
Coincidentally, the interior of Buick Electra-X has also been exposed. There is a curved screen on the center console that runs through the dashboard and center console screen, which preserves the design of the concept car. It can be confirmed that Buick Electra-X will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8155 in-vehicle chip on this large screen.
The overall screen design is very similar to the 30-inch curved 6K screen on the Cadillac LYRIQ, which is on the same platform. Let’s wait and see how the screen quality of the actual Buick Electra-X will turn out.
Based on the rendering, Buick Electra-X will also provide a huge Head-Up Display (HUD) system, but the top of the center console of the test vehicle is tightly covered, and it is currently impossible to determine if the actual vehicle will provide a super-size HUD.In the Chinese market, Cadillac LYRIQ has already entered the IQ Space and caught our attention. Buick Electra-X, the second pure electric medium-to-large-sized SUV on the Global Emerging Architecture platform, is also rapidly advancing. In addition, Buick plans to launch 12 new models in China from 2021 to 2025, including 2 pure electric vehicles on the Global Emerging Architecture platform. So, will the second Global Emerging Architecture pure electric vehicle be far away from us?
