Buick cars, like GMC trucks, typically include more luxury features and better build quality than their Chevrolet counterparts, although they are not considered true luxury vehicles on par with GM’s Cadillac brand. Although its heyday in America appears to be on the downslope, Buicks remain very popular in China. In fact, while the Buick Enclave is still made in Detroit, Michigan, the Buick Envision is assembled in Shanghai.

Currently, Buick sells four vehicles in the United States: the Envista, Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave. All four of these models are gasoline-powered. The lineup today is quite small, but Buick has a long history in the automotive space, with since-discontinued models like the Buick Regal, Buick Riviera, Buick Roadmaster and Buick Special having passionate fan bases. Under the leadership of GM’s founder, William Durant, Buick was once the best-selling automaker in the United States, besting the likes of Ford and Oldsmobile.
