What are the dimensions of the Buick GL8?
3 Answers
Buick GL8's body dimensions are 5256mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1776mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3088mm. It is a popular joint-venture MPV model. Below are specific details about the Buick GL8: 1. The Buick GL8 is a classic top-tier MPV under the Buick brand, equipped with a 3.0L VVT V6 engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 178 and a top speed of 168km/h. 2. The first major advantage of the GL8 is its 'size'. With a length of over 5 meters accommodating only three rows of seats, the legroom is so spacious that no one can complain. The second advantage is its 'quietness'; the cabin noise from wind, road, and engine is minimal, offering a premium sedan-like experience. 3. Long-distance highway travel is where the GL8 excels the most. Its power performance is considered excellent by MPV standards.
As a business owner who frequently shuttles clients, I'm quite familiar with the dimensions of the GL8. This vehicle measures 5.22 meters in length, 1.88 meters in width, approximately 1.8 meters in height, with a wheelbase reaching 3.08 meters. Last time when driving clients to the airport, we loaded four large suitcases plus several carry-ons, and there was still room to spare in the trunk. The second-row aviation-style seats are absolutely fantastic - even a 1.8-meter-tall passenger can't fully stretch their legs. However, extra caution is needed when driving in the city; some older shopping mall's multi-level parking spaces simply can't accommodate it, and the turning radius is significantly larger than sedans.
After the birth of our second child, we switched to a GL8. The whole family really needs the extra space for outings. With a total length of 5.22 meters, even after adjusting the front seats, the third row can comfortably accommodate two adults. On weekends when we take the kids camping, folding down the rear seats allows us to easily fit in tents and barbecue grills. The height of 1.8 meters is great because you don't have to duck when getting in, and it's easier for elderly with mobility issues to enter and exit. Now that we're used to this size, switching back to a sedan feels cramped. The only downside is having to rent a large mechanical parking space in our residential area.
