It is not just those born in the 1980s who are busy getting rid of the "greasy" crisis, but also major automobile brands. Because those born in the 1980s are called "greasy middle-aged people" have become the main consumer group of car buyers. Therefore, if major car brands want to attract their attention, it is urgent to get rid of "greasy".

However, developing a new model is very time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, "micro-plastic surgery" has also become popular in the car circle. Find a model on sale and adjust the front face or buttocks. Cutting off half of it and turning it into a coupe is considered to be "greasy". However, this method of only changing the appearance without changing the core is difficult to deceive the young people of the "Z era". Such car companies will eventually be labeled as "greasy".

But there are also car brands that are very concerned about getting rid of "greasy", such as SAIC-GM Buick. When they want to build a sporty mid-size SUV, they are not based on an existing model. , but to rebuild it from the inside out.

The Envision S is the latest sports mid-size SUV built by SAIC-GM Buick. Except for its name, which is very similar to the Envision, it is different in other aspects.

In terms of appearance, the Envision S adopts the latest front face design language of the Buick brand. The through-type flying wing grille widens the visual effect of the front face, combined with sharp headlights and large-size air intakes in the front apron. The entire front face is extremely visually impactful!

The height of the Envision S is only 1641mm, which is lower than ordinary SUVs. The long hood, short rear overhang, and long wheelbase design create a lower, wider, and more dynamic body posture. . In addition, the expanded front and rear wheel arches coupled with 20-inch "big feet" make the Envision S look very strong and has the flavor of an American muscle car.

A "beautiful butt" is absolutely indispensable for a sports car. The Envision S's tail uses only a few ridges, and the rest relies on curved surface transitions. When the vehicle is moving, the light shining on these curved surfaces will form flowing lines, which can be described as extremely sexy. It is worth mentioning that the rear surround of the Envision S is also designed with decorative exhaust, highlighting the strong sporty aesthetic.

All Envision S series are equipped with a three-spoke sports multi-function steering wheel and paddle shifters as standard. Just imagine, when you have just liberated yourself from the congested traffic, you can quickly downshift through the paddle shifters. , then "kick" the accelerator, and the super power that follows will firmly press you on the seat. This kind of pleasure makes all the irritability accumulated before disappear.

Exercise is an important means to remove "greasy", and so is technology. Envision S is equipped with a 10-inch high-definition touch screen, and next to it is an 8-inch LCD instrument screen. There is also a HUD head-up display hidden in front of the instrument panel. Coupled with the high-definition streaming media rear view screen, it is a five-inch The screen interconnection not only makes all information clear at a glance, but also greatly enhances the technological sense of the interior.

Nowadays, young people are almost inseparable from their mobile phones, and they must use them for travel, social interaction, entertainment, etc. Envision S also tries to turn itself into a "mobile phone". To this end, it is equipped with Buick's latest eConnect intelligent interconnection system.

In addition to supporting regular functions such as online navigation, voice assistant, online media, and mobile phone mapping, this car-machine system can also install practical apps such as Himalaya, Kuwo, and Listening Companion through the built-in application function. . When you are driving, this car system can completely replace your mobile phone and satisfy any functions you want. Of course, WeChat chatting, watching videos, playing games and other functions that violate traffic rules are beyond the scope of our discussion.

It is worth mentioning that Envision S is also developed and built based on the latest Buick eCloud intelligent cloud electronic architecture, supporting vehicle-level OTA online updates to realize power system, chassis system, body control system, and in-vehicle communication. Comprehensive upgrades of electronic modules such as electronics and entertainment systems can always bring freshness to users.

There are too many sports cars now, and the sports only stay on the surface, but the Envision S does not belong to this category.

In order to allow drivers to dare to release all the energy of this power system, Envision has also made great efforts in the chassis, equipped with enhanced MacPherson suspension in the front + five-link independent rear The suspension provides control in multiple directions and brings better control stability.

In terms of braking, the front and rear are ventilated discs with brake disc cleaning functions. With Continental 245 wide tires, you can stop even when running fast!

In addition to its excellent handling performance making driving safer, the Envision S also requires itself to the highest safety standards. The body is made of high-strength steel accounting for 75% and is equipped with 6 airbags to provide drivers and passengers with Solid driving safety guarantee. In addition, the Envision S has up to 6 high-definition cameras, 3 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors all over the car, and is equipped with 12 intelligent driving assistance technologies, such as forward collision warning system, lane keeping system, adaptive cruise system, etc. , cope with the changing road environment and ensure safe travel.
