Which Buick models are available with seven seats?

Buick offers only one seven-seater model, the Buick GL8. Below is a relevant introduction: Introduction to the GL8: Since its debut in 1999, the Buick GL8 has undergone five generations of innovation and has won the favor of over 1.2 million users. In 2020, the Buick GL8 family launched three major series: the all-new Buick GL8 Avenir family, GL8 ES Landau, and GL8 Land Business Class, providing users with more diverse choices. Parameter introduction: The body dimensions are 5219mm x 1878mm x 1776mm, with a wheelbase of 3088mm, a trunk capacity ranging from 475L to 1650L, and a fuel tank capacity of 66L.
As an owner of a seven-seater vehicle, I often discuss car model choices with friends. Buick mainly offers two seven-seater models: one is the GL8 business series, including the GL8 ES Land and GL8 Land Business Class, both standard seven-seater MPVs; the other is the Enclave SUV, which provides a seven-seater version in the SUV category, offering spacious and practical interiors. I've driven the GL8 a few times—the seats are as comfortable as a mobile sofa, especially the ample second-row space, making long family trips fatigue-free. The Enclave has a higher chassis and excellent road clearance, suitable for outdoor driving. It comfortably seats seven without feeling cramped, and the trunk can still accommodate luggage. Fuel consumption isn't too high, with the GL8 averaging around 10L in the city and the Enclave slightly higher. In terms of maintenance, the GL8 has more widespread service points and lower costs. I trust Buick's quality—it comes with comprehensive safety features, multiple airbags, and active safety systems to prevent minor accidents. If your budget is in the 250,000–400,000 RMB range, both models are worth considering for their high cost-performance ratio.
I'm quite familiar with the car market. Buick only has two seven-seater models: the classic GL8 MPV, available in both old and new versions with seven-seat configurations, and the Enclave SUV, which offers a seven-seat option. The GL8 has obvious space advantages, featuring independent rear seats with adjustment functions, providing ample room for seven passengers, along with refined interiors. The Enclave offers a stronger sporty feel, with more agile handling, and although its trunk is smaller, it becomes practical when folded. As a user, I find the GL8 convenient to maintain with affordable parts, while the Enclave requires slightly higher maintenance costs. Both vehicles have reliable power, with their 2.0T engines delivering smooth acceleration and stable daily driving. Safety is decent, with airbags and body steel beams ensuring passenger protection. Priced between 200,000 to 350,000 RMB, they offer outstanding value for money, especially the GL8, which is also suitable for business occasions. My recommendation: prioritize the GL8 for seven-seat needs, and consider the Enclave if you prefer an SUV.
