Buick crosses 6 million cumulative sales in China

Buick recently reached the six million sales milestone in China since its introduction by Shanghai GM more than 16 years ago. Shanghai GM’s first Buick sedan rolled off the production line in Shanghai on December 17, 1998. In 2014, Shanghai GM sold a record 919,582 Buicks across China.

Eight Buick nameplates are currently available. They include premium and upper-medium passenger cars, MPVs and SUVs. The original Excelle family was one of the 10 best-selling passenger cars in China in 2014, with sales of more than 293,000 units. The GL8 MPV, Buick’s second model built in China, has sold more than 600,000 units in 15 years. The Encore has been the leader in the premium small SUV segment with sales of over 150,000 units in two years while the Envision has been the most popular mainstream SUV since its launch last year.

Buick vehicles are available through a nationwide network of more than 740 retailers in China.
