2009 Buick Excelle
April 28th, 2008A little-known fact is that Buick actually sells more cars in China than it does in the U.S. Given the limited lineup in America (LaCrosse, Lucerne and Enclave), it’s natural to think “how can that be?” But travel to China, and you’ll not only see a lot of LaCrosses, but also the Park Avenue, a Holden-based rear-drive sedan that someday may replace the Lucerne, and a slew of Daewoo-based hatchbacks and little sedans all bearing the Buick badge.
The Excelle falls into this latter category, riding on a small front-drive platform. However, Buick has dressed this 4-door sedan with updated sheet metal that brings it in line with larger and more luxurious Buick offerings. The 5-passenger Excelle has a new grille and headlamp treatment that looks like it was pulled directly off the Lucerne.
Prominent wheel arches make the car look wider and give it a purposeful stance.
Even though it’s fitted with just a choice of a 1.6- or 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engines as well as 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions, this Chinese econobox has an interior with upscale features such as onboard navigation. The Excelle competes with such models as the VW Jetta and Santana 4000.
