After launching its first Ultium-based EV in China, the Electra E5, just two months ago, Buick is pushing forward with a new purely electric SUV. 

The new Buick E4 electric SUV adopts the brand’s latest design language, “Pure Design,” represented in the Electra-X concept. When the concept was unveiled last summer, the executive director of SAIC-GM PATAC design (GM’s design team in Shangai) said, “Many of the design elements from the concept will be applied to future models.” 

As such, the E4 electric SUV features a sleek front end with a longer, more fastback-shaped back end featuring an ultra-long 2,954 mm wheelbase. It’s closer to the aspect ratio of a coupe. 

The E4’s aerodynamic rear spoiler, suspended roof, slim LED lights, and hidden door handles add to the modern design. 

Buick is also offering a sporty GS version, complete with a black crystal rhombic grille, a GS tungsten photo-plated trim, 20-inch flower wing drag wheels, penetrating streamer flying wing tail lights, and an exclusive night bronze interior. 

On the inside, the electric SUV features a large panoramic dome that transmits light over a 1.2 sq m surface (and cuts out 99.99% of ultraviolet rays), an oversized trunk, and Buick’s mute technology (for an even more silent rise). It will also feature GM’s Super Cruise driver-assist tech. 

Buick’s second Ultium-based EV features a 30-inch curved 6K infotainment screen with 200PPI pixel density and a next-gen auto cockpit platform equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. 

The Buick Electra E4 electric SUV is available in a dual-motor or a single-motor edition. The single-motor version (150 kW maximum output), powered by a 65 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, provides a CLTC cruising range of 530 km (329 mi). 

Meanwhile, the longer-range edition uses an 80 kWh battery pack for a CLTC cruising range of 620 km (385 mi). 

Prices for the E4 electric SUV start at 189,900 yuan (roughly $26,400) and range upwards of 259,900 yuan (around $36,100). Deliveries are expected to begin in July.
