On June 26, the all-new Buick GL8 Land Business Edition was officially launched. Positioned as an entry-level next-generation fuel-powered MPV in the GL8 family, it is offered in a single trim priced at $32,025. The vehicle features a 2+2+3 seven-seat configuration and comes equipped with a 2.0T engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. With its PURE Design aesthetics and advanced intelligent features, it sets a new benchmark in its class.
The exterior design borrows cues from the GL8 Land Hybrid Edition, featuring a large trapezoidal grille with a "dynamic streamline" visual effect. Chrome accents outline the front fascia, while the combination of air intakes and air curtains reduces drag. The wing-shaped dual-projector LED headlights, paired with boomerang-style daytime running lights, create a sharp and modern look.
The vehicle measures 5,219 mm in length, 1,878 mm in width, and 1,807 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,088 mm (19 mm shorter and 31 mm taller than the outgoing model). The side profile is accentuated by dual waistlines for a sculpted appearance, complemented by 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels and the family-style window design. At the rear, a transparent decorative panel connects the tail lamps, which consist of 214 high-intensity LED units that enhance visibility in rain or fog. The large tailgate opening ensures easy access to the cargo area.
Inside, the cockpit is equipped with a floating 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch central touchscreen. It supports Apple CarPlay and Buick's eConnect infotainment system, featuring "what-you-see-is-what-you-can-say" voice interaction and DeepSeek app integration. Remote control functionalities allow users to preheat the vehicle or turn on the air conditioning remotely.
The second row comes standard with luxurious aviation-style seats, designed with high-resilience foam technology. These seats feature leg rests, ultra-soft headrests, and wing-style armrests, along with heating and ventilation functions. A 15.6-inch foldable screen in the rear provides abundant entertainment options for children. The 2+2+3 seating layout allows the third-row seats to fold in a 4/6 split, expanding the cargo space to an impressive 1,650 liters, maximizing practicality.
Under the hood, the model is powered by the eighth-generation Ecotec 2.0T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine, mated to a 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent transmission. This powertrain offers a balance of smooth performance and fuel efficiency, with the ability to switch between two-cylinder and four-cylinder modes depending on driving conditions.
