>China has been Buick's most important market for years, making up 70% of the brand's sales. Buick offers advanced luxury models in China like the Century van and Electra sedan, with the Chinese market also getting EV and extended-range hybrids that Buick doesn't offer in America. Earlier this year at the Shanghai Auto Show Buick revealed the Electra GS concept, a large sedan with centaur-inspired design, but now there's a new Buick concept from GM China, and it's an absolute stunner.
Called the Electra Orbit, the company says it's "a dreamlike expression of creativity and technological ambition—an artistic exploration that stretches the boundaries of Buick design and hints at what the future could hold." Developed by the GM China Advanced Design Center, the Orbit takes inspiration from the jet age of the 1950s, drawing from things like sci-fi spaceships.
