With the increasing number of second-child families, the demand for car models for families of five has also changed. The 7-seat MPV is more expensive, and the passengers in the middle of the 5-seat SUV feel a little crowded. Then a 6-seat compact MPV has become an alternative model for some families to buy cars. Will Buick GL6 become a qualified model for a family of five?

The official price is 13.99— 166900 yuan, and there is a discount of about 20,000 yuan at present. The exterior adopts Buick family flying wing waterfall air intake grille, and the front face is shaped as "Little GL8". Sharp eagle-eye daytime running lights and simple flat rear design make GL6 not as strong as GL8, and its appearance is more fashionable and young. The interior is a Buick family hug design style. Instrument panel with LCD and mechanical pointer, 7-inch embedded central control panel, tire pressure display, panoramic sunroof, automatic air conditioning, and a good sense of technology in the car.

Buick GL6 has a body size of 4692mm, a width of 1794mm, a height of 1626mm and a wheelbase of 2796mm. Interior seats adopt 2+2+2 and 2+2+3 layouts, and the seat hardness is just right, but the cushion is short and the leg support is slightly poor. GL6

The performance of the ride space is better. When each passenger in the first two rows is adjusted to a proper sitting position, there is still room for punching in the legs of the third row of passengers. The second row of seats can adjust the front and rear leg space, and the second row can get very spacious leg space when there are no passengers in the third row. The front McPherson rear multi-link independent suspension system also provides a guarantee for the comfort of GL6.

In terms of power, Buick GL6 is equipped with a 1.3T three-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, with a maximum power of 163 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. The only drawback is the inherent jitter of a three-cylinder engine. In order to make up for this defect, manufacturers use firewall and thick sound insulation materials for engines. Although it has a certain contribution to fuel economy, it is still a topic worth discussing for long-term stability.

As a compact MPV of joint venture brand, Buick GL6 has an awkward positioning. This price can buy a medium-sized car with better handling and comfort, which also doomed the bleak situation of GL6-digit sales.
