2 Answers
The differences between the GL8 and Viloran are as follows: Different body dimensions: The Volkswagen Viloran is 5346 mm long, 1976 mm wide, and 1781 mm high; while the Buick GL8 is 5238 mm long, 1878 mm wide, and 1776 mm high. Different powertrains: The Buick GL8's engine has a maximum power of 191 kW, maximum horsepower of 260 PS, and maximum torque of 350 Nm; the Volkswagen Viloran's engine has a maximum power of 162 kW, maximum horsepower of 220 PS, and maximum torque of 350 Nm.
As someone who frequently travels long distances for business, I've driven many MPVs. The GL8 impressed me with its enormous space and comfortable third-row seats, making it particularly suitable for business meetings or team trips. The interior design is traditional, with soft seats and excellent sound insulation, though the noise level increases noticeably during acceleration. The Viloran offers more stable handling with distinct German characteristics and agile cornering, but its second-row legroom isn't as spacious as the GL8's. Price-wise, the base model GL8 is more affordable, while the Viloran starts at a higher price but includes intelligent driving assistance, which is very convenient for highway driving. In terms of maintenance, Buick has more service centers, while Volkswagen parts are slightly more expensive. The main differences lie in brand positioning and driving experience, so the choice depends on your needs and budget.
