On the old Buick GL8, the left side of the multifunction steering wheel features cruise control, voice control, and phone function buttons; the right side includes volume control, track switching, and multifunction dashboard control buttons; the back of the steering wheel has the light stalk and wiper stalk, with paddle shifters located above. The Buick GL8 measures 5256mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1776mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3088mm. The Buick GL8 is a classic top-tier MPV under the Buick brand, equipped with a 3.0L VVT V6 engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 178 and a top speed of 168 km/h.
I've been driving the old Buick GL8, which has quite a few button functions, mainly the center console designed very user-friendly. There are several buttons on the steering wheel for controlling the audio volume, switching tracks, and a cruise control switch, which is especially convenient on highways. In the center console area, the left knob adjusts the air conditioning temperature, the right knob controls the fan speed, with an AC switch and air recirculation button nearby, making the AC cool quickly in summer. Below is the radio panel with large buttons, including the power switch, mode selection, and station selector knob; the CD or tape slot keys for the audio are on the side. On the door panel, the driver's seat has a rearview mirror adjustment knob, divided into left and right with directional keys, and the window buttons are one-touch up and down. Near the instrument panel, there's a headlight control knob, making it simple to turn the lights on and off. There's also a door lock button on the main driver's door armrest, pressing it once locks the entire car. Overall, these buttons feel sturdy and are durable even after long-term use.
