Who owns Buick, and how old is the brand?
Buick is owned by General Motors and is the oldest continuously operating American auto brand, with the Buick Motor Company incorporated in 1903. William Durant used Buick as the cornerstone to form GM in 1908.
Why is Buick so popular in China?
Through the SAIC-GM joint venture formed in 1997, Buick has frequently sold more vehicles in China than in the United States. The brand's prestige there is often traced to early-20th-century China, where Buicks were the car of elites, reportedly including the last emperor, Puyi.
Does Buick still sell sedans in the US?
No, Buick's US lineup has been SUV-only since the discontinuation of the Regal around 2020 and the LaCrosse before it. Current stateside models are the Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave.
Is Buick going all-electric?
In 2022 Buick announced plans for an all-electric US lineup by 2030, reviving the Electra name from the new Electra E5, which launched in China in 2023. As with other GM brands, the broader EV slowdown has softened that timeline rather than canceling it outright.
