Buick is considering a sedan for the North American market, a new report from GM Authority suggests.
The new sedan could be built on the Alpha II platform, which underpins the outgoing Cadillac CT4 as well as the current and upcoming Cadillac CT5.
The automaker still sells several sedans overseas, including a new plug-in hybrid model called the Electra L7 and variants of the Regal and the LaCrosse.\n\nSome things are just too good to stay away from for long. You might give up added sugars in January, but chances are you’ll be back in the boulangerie by March. For Buick, passenger cars appear to be the habit the automaker can’t seem to kick. Despite the automaker’s best attempts at focusing entirely on its crossover lineup, Buick is now considering a new sedan for North America, according to a new report by GM Authority.\n\nBuick\nThe Buick Electra GS concept.\nAccording to the outlet, General Motors is evaluating several passenger cars for the United States, one of which could wind up as a Buick sedan. While it was once a respected player in the space, Buick hasn’t fielded a sedan in North America since the Regal bowed out at the end of 2020.\n\nFor Sale Near You\nSee all results for used Buick for sale near 634720\n\nThe report suggests that the new Buick could be built on GM’s Alpha II platform. That platform underpins the Cadillac CT4—which is ending production later this year—and the Cadillac CT5. The platform will also underpin the next-generation CT5, which the automaker has confirmed is in the works.\n\nWhile it’s unlikely that a production sedan would look as sleek as the Buick Wildcat EV concept shown above, Buick does have current sedans we can use as an indicator of styling. The automaker’s sedan business does particularly well in China, where it sells models such as the LaCrosse, Regal, Verano Pro, and a new model called the Electra L7 that has a range-extender plug-in hybrid powertrain. While Buick hasn’t confirmed anything yet, the report suggests that GM could be preparing to shake up its lineup in a big way.”
