Recently, SAIC-GM Buick held a static display of the all-new Buick Verano Pro GS in Shanghai. After the Buick Excelle and Verano, what kind of upgrades can we expect from this model? Let’s take a look.
The all-new Buick Verano Pro GS is a model designed for young consumers, with a handsome appearance and a high-end interior that cannot be ignored. Of course, the most important thing is the technological configuration. Buick Verano Pro GS has comprehensively upgraded its intelligent interactive experience. Through a simple digital interface and convenient operation and intelligent voice interaction system, it can bring some comfort and fun to your journey.
For drivers, the most important thing is ease of use and safety. This intelligent interaction system called eConnect has been iteratively upgraded twice since its birth in 2015. From the beginning of only having vehicle communication capability to supporting remote OTA upgrades and connecting with vehicle, user behavior, and the Internet ecology, and now with the second upgrade, it can achieve human-computer interaction experience and continuous voice, mobile linkage interaction, vehicle networking, and rich multimedia systems. In addition, it uses a dual 10.25-inch instrument and central control dual-screen, which has a high-precision resolution of 1,920 × 720 and clear display. In addition, dual screens can not only display information independently, but also support dual-screen linkage function, which can achieve synchronized display of media, phone, and navigation information. In the car entertainment system, it also supports theme selection and cloud wallpaper download functions.
When it comes to voice interaction, this car is equipped with the iFlytek voice system, which has a high accuracy in recognition and wake-up. During the test drive, the accuracy of continuous speech recognition was also very high. It also supports interrupting conversations and multi-round conversations, and questions related to the same scene can be naturally expanded without the need for secondary commands. In the past, this system often encountered the embarrassing situation of answering unrelated questions, but now it no longer exists. The built-in car apps are also quite extensive, such as Gaode maps for car navigation, Kuwo online music, and Himalayan audiobooks. At the same time, it also supports CarPlay and CarLife mobile phone mirroring, as well as new-generation technology configurations such as OnStar’s real-time online assistant.
If the first car for young people needs high-tech configuration and a good-looking appearance, then the new Buick Velite Pro GS is still worth recommending. Although it breaks the old-fashioned mechanical configuration of American cars, it has already made a great breakthrough in terms of its own technology configuration. However, compared with the technology configuration of new players in the automotive industry, whether it is the car’s multimedia system or assisted driving, there is still a certain gap. It is hoped that it can break the traditional mindset of car companies and create something that can truly compete.
