On June 19, 2025, Buick announced the launch of the new Buick Electra E5, a large five-seater SUV available in three versions: the 620KM Premium Edition, the 545KM Smart Edition, and the 515KM Executive Edition, starting at 149,900 RMB. Buick also offers purchasing benefits, including lifetime warranties on drivetrain components and a trade-in subsidy of up to 20,000 RMB.
The new Buick Electra E5 is equipped with the Ultium 2.0 multi-drive platform, enhancing range while reducing energy consumption and charging times. The battery features a CTP integrated structure with a seven-layer protection system. In a 50°C thermal propagation test, no thermal spread occurred following a cell thermal runaway, and the battery remained free from fire or explosion after two weeks. In temperatures as low as -7°C, the capacity retention exceeds 95%, with less than 15% degradation after 800,000 km of cycle testing.
In terms of design, the new Buick Electra E5 features Buick PURE Design’s latest design language, offering a spacious cabin with large dimensions. The interior uses environmentally friendly materials and includes a standard 30-inch integrated 6K curved display, featuring the latest V5.0 infotainment system with CarPlay iOS26 support for seamless data synchronization between the car system and mobile devices. The smart fresh air system alongside the dual-layer air-conditioning intake mode effectively reduces CO2 levels inside the car and is equipped with a 14-speaker BOSE audio system.
The new Buick Electra E5 consistently ranks high in vehicle residual value charts published by authoritative organizations. Leveraging SAIC General Motors’ new energy manufacturing system, the new Buick Electra E5 offers users a high-value travel experience.
