Development※

Rear

The Avenir was unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show as a prototypical concept study on the future of the Buick brand. It was designed in GM's Australian design facility, with its exterior design led by Warrack Leach.

Technology※

The vehicle features a new generation direct-injected V6 engine, cylinder deactivation with stop-start technology, a 12-inch touchpad infotainment system, "four occupant luxury seating," full LED lighting, 4G connectivity, selectable suspension settings, 9-speed automatic transmission and a system that General Motors has referred to as a "dual-clutch all-wheel drive system". It is reportedly built on the Omega platform that is shared with the Cadillac CT6 flagship sedan.

Possible production※

Though the vehicle is a concept, it is widely speculated that Buick will launch a production version as GM has stated that Buick will receive an Omega platform sedan derivative and "market conditions," especially in the Chinese market are optimum for such a vehicle. However, GM has said that they have no plans to build the vehicle, nor ever intended to build it.
