Buick Beginnings
Before visiting your local Buick dealer, it helps to learn a little more background about the company. Buick has been around for well over 100 years. It is the oldest automobile brand in the U.S. and one of the first in the world. Longevity is a good indicator of a company that puts quality and care into their products and prioritizes customer service. However, how did it all start?
Buick was first incorporated in 1903 and began producing its Model B in 1904. Buick is named after its founder, David Dunbar Buick. He was an inventor and created a method for enameling cast iron that is still in use today. You may be surprised to know that Buick initially founded his company to create internal combustion engines, and he was reluctant to produce cars.
Despite the fact that his chief engineer, Walter Marr, created two separate cars in 1899 and 1900, Buick would not begin mass production until the company was renamed the Buick Motor Company. Since then, the company has changed hands a few times, and today Buick is a division of General Motors. While Buick has undergone several changes over the years, it has continued to create world-class automobiles that withstand the test of time.
Buick is an American icon. Like most companies, Buick has had its fair share of ups and downs. Nonetheless, Buick has managed to maintain a strong track record of quality vehicles. After a recent redesign, all of Buick’s models have been transformed into a sportier and more luxurious line-up.
Currently, Buick offers the Regal (Sportback, GS, Avenir, and TourX), Encore (Encore, GX, and GX ST), Envision, and the Enclave (Enclave and Avenir). While it is not the widest offering of models, U.S. & World Report rated Buick the best GM brand of 2020. Buick is also the highest-rated U.S. brand. Buick has defined its brand’s identity as classy and timeless vehicles with high-performance stats. When you choose a Buick, you don’t have to wonder what you’re getting. You can rest assured that your vehicle will be fully equipped with refined design elements and cutting-edge capability.
Buick has many attractive offerings for 2020 and beyond. Many new Buick vehicles offer advanced technology and driver assistance features perfectly in line with the luxurious, eye-catching appeal of Buick. This technology comes in the way of comfort, entertainment, and, most important of all, safety. Buicks make great family cars with the perfect balance of style and safety.
As luxury vehicles, Buicks are designed with comfort in mind. The available Buick QuietTuning technology uses triple door seals, acoustic laminated glass, and noise-reducing five-link rear suspension to guarantee a quiet and tranquil ride. To keep the cabin fresh and clean, some Buick models incorporate an in-vehicle air ionizer that removes unwanted particles. When activated with remote start, many models include automatic heated or ventilated seating to ensure comfort regardless of the weather conditions outside.
When it comes to safety, Buick has outdone itself. An available HD Surround Vision System incorporates multiple camera angles and virtual elements. You’ll get a view from above the vehicle that shows the car and your surroundings while traveling at low speed. Coupled with other camera angles on the center console, the HD Surround Vision System helps you to park your Buick with ease while preventing minor accidental collisions with surrounding objects.
Buicks offer several technologies to help avoid costly and dangerous traffic collisions. Though no system is fool-proof (and safe driving habits are always required), Buicks are designed to give you every safety advantage possible. The lane change alert with a blind zone alert system helps you to stay in your lane and avoid side-swipe accidents. Accidents while changing lanes are extremely common but can usually be easily avoided. This system acts as your second set of eyes on the road. This can make all the difference in the split second it takes to have a car accident.
Similarly, forward collision alert reduces the chances of rear-ending the car ahead of you while driving in traffic. This smart technology can even notify you when you are following too closely. Both forward collision alert and lane change alert systems utilize a futuristic heads-up display to protect you by keeping your eyes safely focused on the road ahead. If you are traveling below 50 miles per hour, front pedestrian braking automatically applies hard emergency brakes in the event that you fail to do so. Available OnStar also connects you with resources for a safe ride home.
Another valuable safety feature is Buick Teen Driver. As any parent knows, the biggest stressor of having a teenager comes when they hit 16 and get their license. No matter how much practice or how many lectures you give your teen driver, most parents can’t help but worry about them once they get behind the wheel (especially when you’re not riding along). With Buick Teen Driver, you can help to train and protect your fledgling driver from other drivers on the road and from themselves.
Teen Driver has many features that combine to offer state-of-the-art assistance for young and inexperienced drivers. The system starts with a key fob register to your teen driver that causes the vehicle to respond when activated by it. A message will appear on the driver information center to show Teen Driver activation. Audio systems are shut off until the driver and front passenger are safely strapped in. While on the road, speed warnings, a speed limiter, and audio volume limits are activated. Data is accumulated on a “report card” with each trip so parents can get a better idea of what’s going on when they’re not in the car. When it comes to safety, Buick has you fully covered on every front.
If you are looking for a new car, go with the experts. Buick is the oldest U.S. car manufacturer and one of the oldest in the world. Company experience and endurance are clear indicators of knowledge, commitment, and quality. Known for luxury and elegance, Buick always incorporates the newest technology into their designs.
