MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – Buick just introduced the stylish
Avista concept at the North American International Auto Show, and it's beautiful! This car is a 2+2 coupe––a seating arrangement that makes room for the driver and one passenger in the front plus two smaller seats for occasional passengers in the rear––that really highlights the design and performance ability of Buick.
Buick's stylish Avista concept was introduced promoting the idea of fluidity. The design is very sleek and flowing to suggest motion, resembling Buick’s similar design with the Avenier concept and production version of the 2017 LaCrosse.
Vice president of Golbal Buick Sales, Service and Marketing, Duncan Aldred, says, “The Avista embodies the dynamic soul of Buick. It is a modern expression of the brand’s heritage of sophisticated performance, communicated with beautiful elegance.”
The grille of the Avista features Buick’s new winged
tri-shield insignia set against a three-dimensional mesh background. The front
and rear of the car also use Buick’s signature wing-shaped lighting with “soft
curtain” details that create halo-like lighting around the lamps’ edges, making
it look like a three-dimensional shape and sculpture.
Other
exterior feature include:
- 110.7in wheelbase and 63in front/ 62,9in rear tracks for sporty proportions
- 20in aluminum wheels with color-toned accents
- Front fender vents with chrome accents
The performance part of the vehicle comes into play with a
400 horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 engine with rear wheel drive and a
driver-focused cockpit that offers a comfortable and connected center of
control. Complimenting the engine is an eight-speed automatic transmission
along with Magnetic Ride control to give the driver more precise motion
control.
Inside the Buick Avista concept, you’ll find a center console that uses touch
screen controls and extends to the rear seating. There are side storage compartments
built into the front of the console that are enabled by the Electronic
Precision Shift.
The interior design echoes with the Superior Blue color, and
is paired with Mist Gray leather seating inserts, console trim, and door trim.
There are also carbon fiber and aluminum accents throughout the vehicle to
reinforce the performance-oriented driving experience. Lastly, the fading
pattern on the seats, console, and doors are inspired by the waves of a beach.
To enhance passengers' riding experience in the Buick Avista––because it’s not all about the driver––designers hooked into the passengers’
senses with next-generation QuietTuning and air-quality control, which includes
advance noise cancellation technology, iconic air purifiers, and aromatherapy.
