About the brand
About Buick.
Buick (; BYOO-ik) is a division of the American automobile manufacturer, General Motors (GM). Started by automotive pioneer David Dunbar Buick in 1899, it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors in 1908. Before the establishment of General Motors, GM founder William C.
- History
- Buick is one of the oldest automobile brands in the world and is currently the oldest in the United States still active today. Autocar, founded in 1897, is the oldest motor vehicle manufacturer in the Western Hemisphere; while originally an automobile maker, Autocar now builds heavy trucks.
- Lineup
- Buick's U.S. lineup today is built entirely around crossover SUVs — the Encore GX, Envision, Envista and three-row Enclave — after the brand phased out its traditional sedans, a shift that followed decades of full-size cars like the LeSabre, Century, Park Avenue and Riviera that defined Buick through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. That earlier era added the Estate Wagon, Regal, Skyhawk and Skylark to the lineup and, in 1976, briefly sold rebadged Isuzu Geminis as Opels; Buick also built a performance streak into some of that lineup, including the turbocharged Regal Grand National of the mid-1980s. Buick sells a far larger and more distinct lineup in China, its largest market by volume, where the brand carries additional sedans and SUVs not sold in North America and operates as one of General Motors' most successful international brands. In the U.S., Buick's positioning today is as GM's near-luxury crossover brand, sitting between mainstream Chevrolet/GMC and the fully luxury Cadillac in GM's lineup.
- Concept cars
- Buick has a long history of creating intriguing concept cars dating back to the Y-Job, the industry's first concept car, of 1938. Its most recent concept car, the Buick Electra Orbit, was unveiled in 2025.
- Motorsport
- For many years, Buick was a substitute for Chevrolet in automobile racing. Driver Phil Shafer drove a Buick to win the 1933 Elgin Trophy, considered to be the first officially organized stock car race in the United States.
