Buick celebrates its 110th anniversary this year by offering a great array of interesting vehicles, not only in North America but also in China, where the brand is thriving. Notably, Buick sells more vehicles in that Asian country than in its own country of origin!

Here, on our shores, the Buick lineup begins with the mighty Enclave CUV, which was recently slightly modernized. Designed to carry seven or eight passengers, it is still powered by a modern 3.6-liter V-6 engine. Recently, Buick dealers began selling the Encore, a much smaller CUV designed for city dwellers looking for a luxury vehicle that is very thrifty on fuel. It is available with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and front- or all-wheel drive.

Let’s not forget that Buick is well known for its great looking sedans. The biggest model is the La Crosse sedan, available with a V-6 engine or an electric motor-assisted four-cylinder mill with front- or all-wheel drive. It, too, recently underwent a slight redesign. Following this model is the mid-sized Regal, a front- or all-wheel drive sedan with a regular or turbocharged four-cylinder powerplant. The Regal is also available as a GS model with an even more powerful turbo four.

Lastly, Buick offers an even smaller car, the recent Verano. This compact sedan with front-wheel drive is powered by a standard fourcylinder or turbocharged engine.
