Future Buick EV.

These are official sketches from GM. And they seem to show an idea for a new Buick EV. These are from GM designer Aaron Riggs, and come from GM’s own “generalmotorsdesign” Instagram account.

They are described as “pushing the Buick design language forward”. And I agree. It seems the current big grille is gone, since this is an EV. And the “SUV Coupe” shape works much better here than on the current Buick Envista. As a matter of fact, something like this would make the Envista look really old and pretty clumsy.

It seems that, so far, GM has decided not to offer EVs under the Buick brand in North America. Which is a shame. Their new Ultium models from Chevrolet and Cadillac have been quite popular.

They do offer a few EVs in China. In my opinion, the best looking one is by far the Electra E4 pictured above. it has been on sale over there since 2023. It is just one inch shorter than its closely related cousin, the Chevrolet Equinox EV.

This would fit perfectly in Buick’s US lineup, and there is really no excuse for not offering it over here.

I guess, Buick is already thinking of what the next generation could look like. And maybe this is what these new sketches are illustrating. And maybe, that next generation could finally make it to the US in a few years…
