Buick is an automobile brand marketed by General Motors in the United States, Canada, and China. It is sold in North America, China, CIS countries, and the Middle East. On May 19, 1904, David Dunbar Buick founded the Buick Motor Company in the United States with the help of the Briscoe brothers. The Buick (BUICK) logo features a pattern resembling "three shields," which serves as its graphic trademark and is the emblem of the Buick division. The following is an introduction to automobile engines: Classification of engines: Based on the power source, automobile engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrids. Principle of engines: Common gasoline and diesel engines are reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston motion and output power. Gasoline engines have high rotational speed, light weight, low noise, easy starting, and low manufacturing cost; diesel engines have a high compression ratio, high thermal efficiency, and better economic performance and emission performance than gasoline engines.

I've heard of the Buick brand since I was a kid. It started in Detroit, USA in 1903, making steam-powered cars back then. Later, it became a 'son' of General Motors. In the 1930s, while Cadillac was the luxury leader, Buick positioned itself in the mid-range segment—classy but not outrageously expensive. Their Super series sedans were hugely popular at the time, innovatively using torsion bar front suspension for an exceptionally smooth ride. Today, Buick sells cars in over 50 countries, with China being its largest global market. Domestic consumers particularly love its shield-shaped logo, which exudes a premium feel.

I just switched to a Buick LaCrosse last year, and honestly, this brand gives off a vibe of reliability. The first thing you notice when you sit inside is how quiet it is—their Quiet Tuning technology really works, keeping tire and wind noise remarkably low even at high speeds. The seats are as comfy as a sofa, and the interior details are finely crafted. Buick designers have some great ideas; just look at the new Enclave with its winged grille and sharp LED headlights—it turns heads without being flashy. Their most impressive model is the GL8, which has dominated the MPV segment for over two decades, perfect for everything from family school runs to corporate events.

From my perspective, Buick occupies a uniquely strategic position among joint-venture brands, perfectly filling the gap between mainstream and luxury segments. It doesn't pursue Cadillac's pure luxury approach, yet offers more substantial materials and features than Toyota or Honda. Currently, Buick's core buyers are middle-class families aged 35-55 who desire vehicles that project prestige without being ostentatious. The manufacturer has recently been emphasizing its Avenir premium sub-brand, adding exclusive features like bespoke interiors and concierge services to models such as the LaCrosse and Enclave, further elevating the product positioning.
