Buick GL8 does have a four-seater version, specifically the Buick GL8 Avenir Four-Seat Premium Edition. The Buick GL8 is a mid-to-large-sized MPV under the Buick brand, with a wheelbase of 3088 mm, and dimensions of 5238 mm in length, 1878 mm in width, and 1776 mm in height. The Buick GL8 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, coded LSY, which is a 2.0T engine from General Motors. This engine delivers a maximum power of 174 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5000 rpm and the maximum torque available between 1500 to 4000 rpm. It features TRIPOWER variable valve management technology, direct fuel injection, and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
The Buick GL8 indeed has a four-seat version, which I've seen many times at auto shows, especially in the Avenir series. The rear seats are designed to be exceptionally luxurious, featuring independent seats with massage functions and leg rests, offering a super spacious feel, almost like being in first class. This version primarily targets business professionals or high-end users, emphasizing comfort and privacy, with excellent sound insulation that makes outside noise almost inaudible even on highways. However, it comes at a higher price, significantly more expensive than the standard seven-seat version, but it saves the hassle of modifications. If you're pursuing the ultimate experience, it's worth considering a test drive at a 4S store.
