Buick Excelle is an American car. The Buick Excelle is a brand-new five-door coupe launched in the domestic mid-size car market, filling the product gap between the Buick Regal and Buick Excelle, and adopting a completely new name. Below are the relevant introductions: 1. The new Excelle comes in two major model series: 18T and 15N. 2. The 18T model is equipped with a 1.4L DVVT turbocharged engine and General Motors' latest generation 7-speed DCG intelligent dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 106kW/4900~6000rpm, a maximum torque of 200Nm/1700~4800rpm, and a combined fuel consumption of only 5.9L per 100km. 3. The 15N model is equipped with a 1.5L DVVT inline four-cylinder engine, paired with a new 6-speed DSS intelligent start-stop transmission, delivering a maximum power of 84kW/6000rpm, a maximum torque of 143Nm/4400rpm, and a combined fuel consumption of only 6.1L per 100km. 4. Thanks to these two new high-efficiency powertrains, the new Excelle offers strong and smooth power output, while featuring standard engine auto start-stop function across the entire lineup, with outstanding fuel economy leading its class.
The Buick Excelle is actually an American brand vehicle, belonging to the Buick marque under General Motors. Buick has been manufacturing cars since 1903 and is quite famous in its home market, the United States. However, the Excelle model was specifically developed for the Chinese market and is a joint-venture vehicle produced by SAIC-GM. SAIC-GM is a joint venture between China's SAIC Group and General Motors, hence the Excelle is manufactured and sold in China. I recall it was launched around 2008, with designs incorporating Chinese consumer preferences—affordable, practical, and possibly featuring chassis and engine technologies borrowed from Opel, though entirely assembled in China. This exemplifies the trend of automotive globalization; while its label reads 'Made in China,' the brand carries American DNA. If you're hung up on nationality, it's a classic case of Sino-American collaboration.
Last year when I changed cars, I opted for the Buick Excelle. It's been a decent drive so far. Buick is an American brand, and General Motors has a joint venture in China called SAIC-GM. The Excelle is manufactured at their Shanghai plant. This model is quite popular in China, positioned as a compact sedan specifically designed for the local market—unlike the more luxurious American Buicks, it emphasizes cost-effectiveness instead. The chassis tuning and interior lean toward practicality, making it suitable for family daily use. GM has invested significantly in localized R&D, so although the brand originates from the U.S., the Excelle is essentially a product tailored for our market. Buying it feels like supporting a domestic joint-venture car—reliable and affordable.
