New Exterior Design with “Pure” Philosophy
The new GL8 adopts Buick’s “Pure” design philosophy, focusing on simplicity and elegance. The car stands out with a completely new front end featuring slim LED headlights and a wide grille that gives it a commanding presence. It also comes with a power sliding side door, privacy-tinted rear glass, a panoramic roof, and 17-inch aluminum wheels, enhancing its appeal to both families and business professionals.
Luxurious Cabin and Exceptional Ride Experience

The rear seats are designed in VIP luxury style, with foldable armrests, reclining backrests, and an “anti-sickness damper” system to reduce motion sickness—making the GL8 ideal for long journeys and mobile meetings.
Advanced Technologies for Comfort and Safety
The GL8 Land Business Class is equipped with an advanced infotainment system featuring enhanced voice recognition and remote climate control. Sound insulation has been improved with double-layer glass and advanced materials, providing exceptional cabin quietness.
For safety, the vehicle features larger side airbags covering the entire window area, along with advanced safety systems that meet the expectations of modern Chinese families.
Practical Spaciousness and Flexible Storage
The GL8 offers rear cargo space ranging from 521 liters (18.4 cubic feet) with the seats upright, up to 1,650 liters (58.3 cubic feet) with the rear seats folded—making it an ideal choice for large families or business travelers.
Improved Performance and Smoother Ride
One of the key technical upgrades in the GL8 is the all-new rear suspension system. Buick replaced the traditional torsion beam with an independent four-link suspension, significantly improving ride comfort and vehicle stability on various road surfaces.
The vehicle is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 233 hp and 350 Nm of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.2 seconds, which is suitable for a luxury family minivan.
Rich Standard Features
Despite its competitive price, the GL8 Land Business Class comes loaded with standard features such as power-adjustable front seats, rear climate controls, an eight-speaker audio system, as well as advanced technologies like remote start, smart climate control, and an easy-to-use digital interface.
Conclusion: Practical Luxury for the Family of the Future
With the 2025 GL8 Land Business Class, Buick reaffirms its commitment to delivering family vehicles that blend practical luxury, smart technologies, and modern design—while maintaining attractive prices for its target audience. Thanks to these updates, Buick continues to strengthen its position as a top choice for families and business professionals seeking comfort and style in China’s fast-growing minivan market.
