What is the noise level of the Buick GL8 652?

[Ross]

Actual test: The GL8 652 performs very well in terms of noise, with a noise level of 57.8 decibels at 60km/h, 61.4 decibels at 90km/h, and 67.8 decibels at 120km/h. Here are the relevant details: 1. Exterior Design: The new model of the Buick GL8 has undergone significant changes in design, with the new family-style exterior delivering a more fashionable appearance. The silver chrome trim that runs through the headlights, grille, and emblem is a highlight of the front fascia, following the direction of the family design, and the front bumper has also become more three-dimensional. The side profile retains the previous body shape and smooth lines, with the angular fold at the lower edge of the sliding door window remaining. At the rear, the first thing that catches the eye is the chrome trim that spans the tail, echoing the front, and the taillights have become slimmer compared to the older model. 2. Interior: The interior design also adopts a wing-inspired shape, with the gearshift area retaining the traditional MPV design style. The new GL8 features a floating center console screen, while the newer GL8 has been upgraded with a technologically advanced dual-screen setup. The body length has been reduced, but the shorter front overhang and increased body height have improved the interior space of the new-generation Buick GL8 compared to the current model.

As a long-term owner of this vehicle, I have tested the performance of the third-generation GL8 Landus at a cruising speed of 120km/h. Conversations inside the cabin are completely undisturbed, with tire noise being well managed. Wind noise mainly occurs near the A-pillars, but it is mostly covered by playing music. On rough roads, a slight humming sound can be heard, but overall, it is considered excellent for an MPV.

Recently, I test drove the new ES Landmark and specifically paid attention to its noise insulation. The salesperson mentioned that at a steady speed of 60km/h, the noise level is around 58 decibels, and the actual experience was indeed quiet, especially with the front row using double-layer laminated glass. However, the engine noise becomes more noticeable when climbing slopes with a full load, but the hybrid version performs much better in this regard.

The most surprising thing when I first got the car was the sound insulation. Driving in the city, you can basically only hear the air conditioning. The tire noise on concrete roads is slightly louder but acceptable. It's recommended to have the mechanic check the aging of the sealing strips during maintenance, and switching to quiet tires can further enhance comfort by another level.

A friend's older GL8 has severe chassis noise, and the inspection revealed loose screws on the underbody guard. Under normal driving conditions, high-speed wind noise mainly comes from the side mirror design, and there is a slight clicking sound from the transmission when shifting gears. For new cars, it is recommended to install underbody armor to reduce the noise from stone impacts.

Compared to the Odyssey and Elysion, the GL8 indeed uses more generous sound insulation materials. However, after two years, the aging door seals may cause wind noise, so it's recommended to lubricate the seals every six months. Adding sound insulation material in the engine compartment shows noticeable effects, especially in northern winters when cold starts are significantly louder.
