The Buick GL8 is a minivan sold by General Motors' Buick division in China. Introduced in 2000, the GL8 is similar to the Pontiac Montana. Unlike other GM minivans, a roof rack was never offered. It was redesigned for 2005; however, it has a more aerodynamic and futuristic look than its American and Canadian counterparts, the Buick Terraza, the Chevrolet Uplander, the Pontiac Montana, and the Saturn Relay.
A revamped edition was released in late 2010, featuring 2.4L and V6 3.0L engines. [1]
Models[]
The regular wheelbase GL8 is known as the GL8 2.5 while the extended wheelbase variant is called the GL8 Firstland. There are four trim levels available, called the LT, CT1, CT2, and GT (which is only available on the Firstland). In October 2001, the first bunch of Buick GL10s (10 passenger versions of the 1st-generation GL8) were exported to the Philippines.
Engines:
- GL8 2.5: 2.5 L V6 engine
- GL8 Firstland: 3.0 L V6
