The automotive industry has evolved at a rapid pace in recent years, thanks in part to the emergence of new technologies. Even though most of the automotive “concepts” are not yet available for sale, it is interesting to get a sense of what our technology allows us to envision. The Buick Enspire concept is one of these futuristic models we can’t wait to finally see on the market.
While waiting for the first electric Buick, learn more about this new concept, its design and performance, and what the future holds for the American brand.
Buick Concept Car: Beautiful from Every Angle
While the 100% electric SUV concept is new to the brand, this is not Buick’s first futuristic prototype, and the Enspire reflects that experience. Overall, the Buick Enspire Concept presents itself with:
- Tapered lines
- Smooth side styling
- Chrome front crossbars
Its extraordinarily refined appearance also includes features such as a stunning front grille with the brand’s three colorful badges at its center, framed by thin silver lines.
The grille itself is placed between two long, slender headlights from which the sleek lines of this SUV of the future flow, and on the sides of which no handle is visible! If they stay true to this prototype, Buick Concept cars could be a hit.
Buick Enspire Concept: A Futuristic Design
Inside, the design is just as futuristic, which rhymes with minimalist in this case.
- A steering wheel halfway between a rectangle and an oval shape
- A long dashboard
- A marked absence of physical buttons
The current images also reveal two digital screens with an atypical shape and elegant finishing elements. The manufacturer also claims that the interior is lined with rich materials. If the future looks like this, we should all be looking forward to it!
Clean Performance
Of course, it’s hard to be definitive about the technical specifications of a prototype, especially when it comes to performance, but the Enspire concept is expected to come with two electric engines capable of producing 550 horsepower and going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds!
Buick intends to explore further this type of clean technology, as the all-electric propulsion system used on the Enspire model already has a name: eMotion. If you’re looking for a brand that’s at the forefront of the industry’s right trends, choose a Buick. You’ll find everything you want with Buick!
Impressive Range
Aside from the performance, which should offer a good dose of thrills, the range is often one of the most expected figures when a new electric concept is announced.
And Buick has not been idle with a motorization that should allow to drive on distances of 595 km! While vehicles with a range of over 400 km are generally considered generous, this one far surpasses its rivals.
It will also be possible to recharge it to 80% in just 40 minutes with induction charging. To sum up, here are the few figures we have regarding the amazing performance of this concept:

eMotion |
Power |
550 horsepower |
Range |
595 km |

80 % in 40 minutes |
So this is a promising model, provided that it appears on the North American market. Will there be a Buick Enspire in 2022 or 2023? According to Daniel Rufiange:
“It seems clear that such a vehicle could be successful here.”
Buick’s Electric Future
Although it is far from certain that the Buick Enspire Concept will see the light of day in North America, it has been revealed that the Buick brand will soon reveal its first electric vehicles.
These will feature the new Ultium platform developed by General Motors, an advanced electric technology. This is the platform that will equip the future Cadillac Lyriq and the electric Hummer, both high-performance electric vehicles.
We can therefore expect SUVs with remarkable range, all-wheel drive versions and more. Keep an eye out for announcements!
