The Shanghai Auto Show is a little over two weeks away - doors open April 18, 2011 - so it was only a matter of time before we received the first teaser image of one of the vehicles set to debut at that time. This initial teaser image comes from General Motors and is of Buick’s new SUV concept called Envision.
The Envision Concept was developed by Shanghai GM and the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), and according to GM, integrates global design with local aesthetics for the China market, adhering to Buick’s "dynamic, fluid, quiet and comfortable" design essence.
General Motors has yet to mention much of anything on the new concept, but they have said that the SUV has an elegant and smooth exterior that emphasizes its modern styling and contemporary sportiness. The Envision is equipped with an advanced plug-in hybrid system and loads of other new technologies, projecting the future of Buick products. Marketing mumbo jumbo aside, are those gullwing doors we see in this first teaser? Talk about trying to appeal to the younger market.
We’ll keep everyone posted with new details on Buick’s newest attempt at connecting with the "youngins" as soon as anything arises.
