最近谍照记者拍到了正在开放路面测试的2018款别克凯越GT,当时车身进行了重度伪装。由于整个别克系列都进行了全面更新,预计凯越也将同步进行更新。这款GT版本车型进行了大幅改款,包括新的格栅/前大灯和尾灯组。虽然车厢内只是进行了小幅升级,但看起来感觉仍不错。该车采用黑色和米色内饰,甚至仪表板上增加了实木面板。至于性能,目前还不清楚是否继续搭载1.5升84千瓦/113马力引擎,或者搭载动力更强的1.4升引擎(功率107千瓦/144马力)。别克也有可能为该车提供取自新一代君威的2.0升涡轮增压引擎,但这还需要时间来证实。别克凯越过去13年来在中国销量超过268万辆。老款车在2016年停产,但新的升级版车型将于明年上市。新一代凯越预计将与别克威朗和雪佛兰科鲁兹共享Delta II平台。
2018 Buick Excelle GT Facelift Spied
In an effort to keep the lust for American luxury vehicles alive in China, Buick is reviving and refreshing its longstanding Excelle sedan, which has been on the market in some form or another since 2003. Our spy photographers recently caught up with the small sedan making its rounds on public roads – covered in plenty of camouflage, of course.
With the entirety of the Buick lineup getting a makeover, the Excelle is expected to do the same. Pictured here in GT spec, the Excelle shows off a significant facelift that includes a new grille, new headlights, and new taillights.
The cabin receives little in the way of updates, but still looks like a nice place to be nonetheless. Features like black and beige trim are immediately noticeable, and even some subtle wood paneling can be seen on the dash.
As far as performance is concerned, it’s unclear whether the same 1.5-liter, 113-horsepower (84-kilowatt) engine will carry over, or the more powerful 1.4-liter turbo with 144 hp (107 kW). Buick could opt for the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in the newly introduced Regal, but that remains to be seen.
With over 2.68 million units sold over 13 years, the Excelle is one of the best selling Buick vehicles in China. Production of the outgoing model was ended in 2016, but a new and improved version will hit the market sometime next year. The new Excelle will expectedly ride on the same Delta II platform that underpins the aforementioned Buick Verano and Chevrolet Cruze.
