Among American cars, Buick has a relatively large influence in China. Buick is currently launching a new three-color shield logo and bringing a new SUV Buick high-spirited. The new car manufacturer's guide price is between 152,900 and 178,900 yuan. There are 4 models in total, all of which are equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine. The performance is not weak, with a maximum of 184 horsepower. From an image perspective, it is not a calm style, but has made a younger change. It is more aimed at the 2000s and 1990s. Let me talk about it in detail below.
review model: 2022 GS 1.5T speed version
From the appearance, Buick high spirits have changed a lot. The front grille adopts a trapezoidal design, the center grille area is black, and the red GS logo can be seen in the upper right corner. The silver decoration on the left and right sides are like a beard. The headlight group adopts a split design, with daytime running lights above and three-color shield family logo in the middle of the hood. The headlight group is placed under the daytime running lights. The shape is not radical. It is matched with LED high and low beams, and it supports automatic headlights, height adjustment and delayed closing in function.
From the side, there is a more radical side. The roof is treated with a sloping back, the corners of the window are decorated with black chrome, and the rear extends more closely. The waistline adopts a segmented design, the door area is concave, and the bottom wheel hub is also blackened. The size is 18 inches, and red brake calipers can be seen inside. As a compact SUV, the size is quite in line with the needs of Chinese people, with a length, width and height of 4638×1816×1565 mm and a wheelbase of 2700 mm. The tail design will be simpler, the taillight group is relatively slender, not through-type treatment, the upper spoiler has a smaller amplitude, the lower surround is contrasting, and the black guard plate is matched with silver decoration.
Enter the Buick car, with black as the main color, and the seat area is decorated with red lines. The central control area is a dual-screen design. The full LCD instrument screen and central control screen are the same size, both at 10.25 inches. It supports the Internet of Vehicles and other applications. It has a built-in free traffic of 50 GB per year. The traffic of watching videos is easy to exceed the standard, and it consumes more power when parking, which will have a greater impact on the battery. Voice control is very easy to use, it can control the opening and closing of the sunroof overhead and can directly adjust the air conditioning temperature. The brand of audio in the car is not marked. The number of speakers is 7, which has a certain surround sound effect when played.
From the perspective of the seat, the imitation leather material wraps it softly to the touch. The length of the front seat cushion is 490 mm, and the length of the rear seat cushion is reduced to 480 mm. My height is 1.8 meters, and my legs are not hung in the air when I sit back and forth. The backrest and cushion are filled with moderate softness and hardness, making it more supportive when riding. From a space perspective, there is no problem with the head and legs, and the rear floor is pure flat, which is more advantageous than many cars of the same level.
From the perspective of power, it is paired with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of at 250N·m. It looks like the displacement is not high, but the acceleration from 100 kilometers can reach 7.9 seconds. From the driving experience, a light click on the accelerator will make you feel good linear and smooth. Daily urban driving is relatively smooth and you won’t feel struggling when overtaking. The engine noise is not very high because it covers a larger area of soundproof cotton . In terms of fuel consumption, I changed the image of American cars as a fuel tiger. I ran for a while myself, including cities and highways. The average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is around 8L.
At the end, when it comes to Buick family cars, many people will think of Regal and Encore at the first time. And this time, the high spirit can be said to be unique, with clear goals, focusing on young people, and having their own independent style. I personally prefer the brand new three-color mark, which looks more high-end.
