2018款别克凯越近日在国内上市，该车其实是欧宝雅特的轿车版车型。从官图看，这辆紧凑型家用轿车的很多造型元素都取自雅特掀背车和旅行车，只是车尾部分有所改变。虽然欧宝雅特轿车的轴距为2662毫米(104.8英寸)，但别克凯越的轴距要短一些，为2611毫米(102.8英寸)。即便如此，它仍比前一代别克凯越长11毫米(0.43英寸)。2016年10月，在底特律的LakeOrion工厂，别克终止了威朗的生产。随着越来越多的人决定选择跨界车和越野车，威朗在不久的将来返回美国似乎是非常不可能的。在别克凯越发布之前，凯越GT掀背车和GX旅行车已经于去年10月在国内上市。

 

2018 Buick Excelle Unveiled As An Opel Astra Sedan For China

Opel introduced the Astra K in Europe back in 2015 as a five-door hatchback that was shortly followed by the more practical wagon, yet it’s still selling the sedan based on the previous-generation model. The four-door model is now making the transition towards the latest Astra, but for the time being only in China where it will be sold as the Buick Excelle.

 

Just one official image has been released so far and it shows the compact family sedan with a predictable design echoing the hatchback and wagon body styles, but obviously with a different rear end. While the wheelbases of those two measures 2662 millimeters (104.8 inches), the distance between the two axles of the sedan is a little bit shorter, at 2611 mm (102.8 inches). Even so, it’s still 11mm (0.43 inches) longer than that of the previous-generation Buick Excelle.

 

Don’t hold your breath for a U.S. equivalent of the Excelle taking into account Buick terminated production of the Verano at the Lake Orion factory in Detroit way back in October 2016. With more and more people deciding to go with crossovers and SUVs to the detriment of cars, it seems highly unlikely the Verano will return stateside in the near future.

 

The introduction of the Excelle sedan in China follows the launch of the upgraded Excelle GT (hatchback) and Excelle GX (wagon) in October 2017.
