Buick has introduced a new variant of its best-selling electric vehicle in China, the Velite 6 compact wagon, giving it a new powertrain, a simplified range structure, and lower pricing.
While the current PHEV and BEV variants of the Velite 6 remain available, the new one gets a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack with a capacity of 50.3 kilowatt-hours, which enables a range of up to 267 miles (430 kilometers) on China's CLTC test cycle.
The new battery powers an front-mounted electric motor that delivers 174 horsepower (130 kilowatts) and 195 pound-feet (265 Newton-meters) of torque. There are no further details about the motor or other drive components.
The new Buick Velite 6 starts at $15,500 (112,800 yuan), which makes it really good value for a vehicle that measures 184 inches (4,673 millimeters) in length and offers a roomy five-passenger cabin and 16.1 cubic feet of trunk capacity. There's also a more expensive variant that starts at $15,900 (115,800 yuan) and adds a glass sunroof and backup camera.

Whereas US customers are still waiting for Buick's first EV, the GM brand offers no fewer than four battery-electric models in China: the Velite 6, the Velite 7 (essentially a rebadged Chevrolet Bolt EUV), the Electra E4, and the Electra E5. The Electra-badged models utilize GM's Ultium architecture.

Prices be damned if this car
can claim it’s 267 mile range
cruising down a Minnesota
highway when it’s -20 and you’ve
got the heater going full blast,
along with wipers and headlights,
with your phone plugged in to
make sure you’ve the ability
to call for help when the car
runs out of juice.
I’d be willing to bet that claimed
mileage is put under these
conditions is half of what’s
advertised.
And with five passengers in it.
“half” under those conditions is extremely generous. extremely ... look up the f-150 range vs. reality when loaded.
” half of what’s advertised.”
I think for just a few pesos more you can get the one with the emergency peddles or a hole in the floor ..
...it’s called the “Flintstone”
Or less
That won’t be the price in the US
Oh yeah, its coal.
Another puff piece by the fake news propagandizers. Talk about every ev thing in glowing terms...neglecting cold, hard engineering, and political realities.
EV are retarded and so are the people posting this crap.
These people think that reality is made of lies told told over a long time and they can make their own new reality by doing the same.
Your average EV buyer is a city dweller who never ventures more than 50 miles from home. The few that do find out how pitiful the practical range really is.
Of course the EV propagandists show up at some point to repeat the lies, but that doesn’t change reality.
The automakers pushing these things are losing billions on them because they have lost their grip on reality.
I agree completely. Post discernment age. Found out that about 50% of the grades given out at my college alma mater last year was an “A”. Completely stupid students being matriculated.
over 10,000 EV cars in China. Most with only 30 miles on them, rotting away.

I don’t care if they got 1,000 miles on a 10 minute charge, the premise is false and pushed by evil, rotten people.
EVs suck period. There’s no infrastructure for them, they can’t come close to a gas powered car on reliability and consistent mileage. They are anything but environmentally friendly, take forever to charge, they’re ugly as hell and the batteries don’t last and get worse with time.
They should be mandated for all liberals as a sole source of travel. That would finally end the BS.
“I don’t care if they got 1,000 miles on a 10 minute charge, the premise is false and pushed by evil, rotten people.”
That’s the problem ‘conservatives’ have. If it’s pushed by the Leftists, we should be VERY SUSPICIOUS of whatever it is. And that goes for wars halfway around the world too.
they promise the jetsons
you get the flintstones
