Buick began in December 1899 in Detroit when David Dunbar Buick founded what became Buick Motor Company. Over the decades it became known for premium cars that blended comfort with refined performance, pioneering features such as overhead-valve engines and Dynaflow automatic transmissions. Today Buick serves both North America and China with a portfolio of SUVs—Encore, Encore GX, Envista, Envision, and Enclave—that emphasize quiet cabins, upscale materials, and advanced driver-assist technology. Enthusiasts value Buick for delivering near-luxury amenities at accessible prices backed by GM’s latest infotainment and safety systems.
