Which country produces Buick?

Buick is produced in the United States. Its models include: Excelle, Regal, LaCrosse, GL8, Enclave, Encore, etc. Taking the 2021 Buick LaCrosse Luxury as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of: length 5026mm, width 1866mm, height 1459mm, wheelbase 2905mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The 2021 Buick LaCrosse Luxury is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power speed of 5600 rpm and a maximum torque speed ranging from 1700 to 4000 rpm.
The Buick brand is actually quite interesting. It originated in Michigan, USA in 1903 and was initially founded by David Dunbar Buick. Later, it was acquired by General Motors and became a pure American brand. However, the situation is different now. China's SAIC-GM produces a large number of Buick models, with factories in Shanghai, Wuhan, and Shenyang dedicated to manufacturing popular models like the Regal and Excelle. I was quite surprised by a statistic I saw online—over 80% of Buick's global sales come from China. Although models sharing platforms with Cadillac are still produced in the U.S., the main production lines have long been relocated to China. In the end, the brand is American, but the steering wheels are all made in China.
