The brand new Buick Envision SUV will be launched on the China car market on October 20, price will start around 180.000 yuan and end around 300.000 yuan ($29.000 – 49.500), and that is some 15% more expensive than we heard earlier on. The Buick Envision debuted last month on the 2014 Chengdu Auto Show.
The Envision is manufactured in China by the Shanghai-GM joint venture, it based on GM’s Delta global-compact platform. The Buick Envision will be positioned above the China-made Buick Encore SUV and below the Buick Enclave SUV that is currently imported into China.
