Buick introduced a wonderful concept at the 2020 Beijing Motor Show, which began this weekend: the Buick Electra concept, and it looks nothing like the Electra you might have known in the past. The maximum number of Buick fans is the long-term land yacht from the mid to the last twentieth century, the concept of Buick reborn Electra is encouraged through an area capsule.
Actually, it’s a futuristic-looking machine, it’s hard to tell where the vehicle is in the spectrum of frame styles. Buick calls it a crossover, but it looks more like a state-of-the-art sedán, not unlike the Nissan IMS concept presented. in 2019 La Polestar 2 also offers a similar formula. However, it is an eye-catching design by Buick, which, for more than 10 years or so, has implemented some of the most productive concept cares in General Motors’ design department. Or Avista? Yes.
Energized by
Perhaps more vital than the steel that surrounds the internal parts is the fact that this concept includes GM’s Ultium battery technology. It’s necessarily a dramatic look at how Buick plans to design his long-lasting electric cars. With Ultium battery on board and GM BEV3 platform. , Buick’s designers have opted for a philosophy they call “potential energy. “While the front looks classic with a square fairing, the car begins to shrink through the greenhouse and begins to create a tip shape at the rear. The concept was to imitate an arrow in a position to be published. It’s still the “potential energy. “
The greenhouse is necessarily a giant glass awning that extends from the hood to the back, and if that’s not enough retro-futurism for you, the Electra concept features butterfly-style doors with facial popularity for simple entry/exit. Place the “floating skateboard” under the rear bumper.
Let’s go back to why the Ultium battery is so vital to GM, it’s helping to start turning the way designers can “pack” interiors. In this case, the Electra imagines a world in which pillars A and B are irrelevant, and I am one hundred percent here for this future. The car not only looks more spacious, but is also more spacious with a flat floor and plenty of legroom between the Electra’s 4 seats. Speaking of seats, they float. A new design implemented through GM designers gives the impression of “zero gravity” by being marked with the type of cabin capsule area. Everything is ultra-futuristic, adding the one-piece virtual board and a retractable guide wheel. Buick didn’t, communicate about autonomous driving capabilities, but clearly, he sees this concept of automobile as autonomous in some way.
What is not so far-fetched are the functionality specifications, which seem to emphasize that this type of car can be a truth faster or later, without the remote control board and autonomous capabilities. it has the coolness of 583 horsepower. From what GM has said in the afterlife about its Ultium battery and its Ultium Drive engines, this is realistic.
To be clear, there is no false confirmation that Buick will put this car concept into production. What is evident is to call a long-lasting electric vehicle with the logo “Electra”, it looks like it or not.
