Add to this the fact that brands can now almost almost impress their customers with a recreational vehicle, and it’s no surprise that the Buick Electra Concept came out as a purely electric crossover at the Shanghai Motor Show.
640-kilometer range, particularly sleek interior design, extreme door concept in the Buick Electra study car.
Sixty years ago, the Electra model name marks Buick's all-time top model. However, luxury now means (in part) something different than it used to, as did Buick, as the brand has moved entirely to China as General Motors ’pull brand.
Add to this the fact that brands can now almost almost impress their customers with a recreational vehicle, and it’s no surprise that the Buick Electra Concept came out as a purely electric crossover at the Shanghai Motor Show.
While the car will obviously not be mass-produced in this form, it uses GM’s Ultium battery system. This provides a range of 640 kilometers and 435 kW (592 hp) of engine power; it accelerates the winged goods to 100 km / h in the last 4.3 seconds. What makes the Ultium unique, however, is that it is controlled via a wireless network, so it contains 90% less cables than usual, resulting in a significant weight reduction.
The Buick doesn’t reveal much about the cabin, but the details speak for themselves. The traditional roof pillars are missing, as is the dashboard, just an airy support structure, so the feeling of space is quite amazing.
