Which country does SAIC-GM belong to?
2 Answers
SAIC-GM is an American brand, and its sub-brands include Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac. Taking the Buick Excelle as an example, it is a 4-door, 5-seat compact sedan with body dimensions of 4609 mm in length, 1798 mm in width, 1486 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2640 mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters. The Buick Excelle is equipped with a 1.3L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 120 kW at 5500 rpm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using a MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using a multi-link independent suspension.
When I first started researching cars, I was particularly interested in SAIC-GM because it's a classic Sino-American joint venture brand. Established in 1997 through a partnership between China's SAIC Group and America's General Motors, it primarily produces and sells models like Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac in China. The Buick Excelle I drive is one of their products, and I can really feel the great fusion of technologies—American design concepts combined with localized manufacturing, such as suspension systems tuned for Chinese road conditions. This has also transformed the Chinese automotive market, allowing more people to drive cost-effective joint-venture cars. Although headquartered in Shanghai, the entire brand reflects the power of transnational collaboration, helping to elevate domestic automotive craftsmanship.
