The dimensions of the GL8 are 521.3 cm in length, 184.7 cm in width, and 174.5 cm in height, with a wheelbase of 307.9 cm. Below are some relevant details about the GL8: 1. The GL8 is a classic MPV model under the Buick brand, featuring a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam semi-independent suspension non-driven axle. 2. The Buick GL8 is equipped with a 3.0L VVT V6 engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 178 and a top speed of 168 km/h. This engine incorporates direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the GL8 for almost two years now. This car is quite sizable, with a length of 5238mm (approximately 5.24 meters), a width of 1878mm (about 1.88 meters), and a height of 1800mm (around 1.80 meters). Parking in residential parking spaces requires extra caution, especially in older neighborhoods where it can be quite challenging. The interior space is spacious enough; my family of five travels comfortably with ample room, and the third row can still accommodate two suitcases without needing to fold down the seats. When parking, it's important to pay attention to the rearview mirror and radar alerts, as the wide body makes it easy to scrape against curbs, especially during rainy days when visibility is poor. Daily driving doesn't feel cumbersome; the steering is light, it's stable on highways, and the sound insulation is excellent, keeping the kids quiet while they sleep in the back seats. Overall, it's convenient to use, but beginners need time to get used to its size.
