Buick GL8 LHD Wholesale Export
Buick GL8 is a left-hand drive full-size luxury 7-seat MPV for B2B wholesale export. Produced by SAIC-GM, it has been China's best-selling MPV for years and is widely used for business reception, family travel, and high-end ride-hailing. The GL8 is offered in two powertrains: a 2.0T turbo petrol with 48V mild hybrid and 9-speed AT, and a 1.5T plug-in hybrid (PHEV) with a 24.4 kWh battery. The 2025 GL8 陆尊 (Lu Zun) adopts Avenir design language across all trims.
