With nations across the world attempting to embrace the green transport culture as soon as possible, auto makers are investing money as well as talent to roll out Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles and the auto shows happen to be the best possible locations for flaunting their creations. April 18 will see a newBuick concept model called the Envision making its global debut at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show.
Announcement from General Motors that the Buick Envision SUV will be technologically advanced and will have a motorization type hybrid plug-in comes without any details provided on the technological aspects including the drivetrain of the vehicle. However, the leaked images of the upcoming Buick Envision SUV bear the inkling that the car will be a two door coupe style SUV and that the design has gathered inspirations from American and European designs. The images were leaked onto the Web courtesy of ChinaCarTimes.
The problem looming over auto lovers is that the Shanghai Auto Show and the New York Auto Showare scheduled at almost the same time and the organisers for both the most awaited events have not been able till now to resolve the issue. Under such circumstances, it seems to be natural for the auto makers to release the Envision just ahead of the Shanghai auto show, thereby to attract the Chinese consumers. At the same time, the plethora of concept designs of PHEVs by different auto makers all around the world puts a question mark on the reliability of the Envision ultimately coming to a reality.
On our first observation of the images which happen to be a teaser sketch, the concept design byBuick seems to be a very futuristic design and will hopefully not struggle to appeal to the Chinese market. The design has been termed as global with “local aesthetics for the China market”. This makes it evident that the American version of the car will have slight design modifications.-nitrobahn.com
