How to Choose Between Buick 652 and 653?
2 Answers
In terms of size, the Land Business Class 652T has an advantage, but the interior space is more superior in the third-generation model. Both models are equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 174 kW and a maximum torque of 350 N·m. Both are matched with a 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent transmission.
Recently, I've been helping a friend choose between the Buick GL8 652 and 653 models. I feel that the 652 is sufficient—it's spacious and comfortable enough for family use. With two small kids in my family, the 652's seats provide excellent support, making long trips less tiring, and the trunk has ample space for strollers and luggage. The 653 comes with some flashier features, like a larger screen and premium leather, but it costs tens of thousands more. For daily driving, the 652's 2.0T engine delivers decent fuel economy at around 9L/100km, making it practical and cost-effective. In terms of space, the two models are quite similar, and the 652 comes with all the essential features like air conditioning and a sound system. Maintenance costs are lower for the 652, and parts are easier to find. If you frequently travel with your family, the 652 offers exceptional value for money—there's no need to splurge on extra features. The savings can be put toward maintenance or a travel fund. Test drive both at the dealership, and you'll likely feel the same way.
