Buick Velite 5 For China Reveals Chevy Volt Roots In Teaser

Billed as being Buick’s very first extended range electric vehicle (EREV), the Velite 5 is a China-bound model that looks awfully familiar. The adjacent teaser image provides a glimpse of the car’s derriere and reveals it will have many things in common with the latest generation Chevrolet Volt.

 

What’s interesting is the fact Buick says the Velite 5 will have an electric range estimated at 62 miles (100 kilometers) whereas the U.S.-spec Volt is rated by EPA at 53 miles (85 km). In addition, the Chinese version of the car aims to provide a total range of more than 466 miles (750 km), which is considerably more than the 420 miles (676 km) of the equivalent Chevy model.

 

The Velite 5 will use a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, which likely generates 101 horsepower (75 kilowatts) and 103 pound-feet (140 Newton-meters) of torque as it does in the Volt. Details about the electric motor have not been provided, but expect output to stand at 149 hp (111 kW) and 294 lb-ft (398 Nm). As for the lithium-ion battery pack, it’ll likely have an 18.4-kWh capacity as it’s the case with the car’s American counterpart.

 

The Buick Velite 5 is going to be launched shortly in the People’s Republic and will be followed in the next two years by other hybrid and electric cars.
