The Buick Wildcat EV concept previews a design makeover for the GM brand:
in its floor and a driving range of more than 300 miles; both single- and dual-motor models will likely be offered.If you're thinking that the Wildcat doesn't look like an EV, then the designers have done the job they set out to do. According to Gauci, many of today's EVs are faceless—they've done away with traditional grilles because they can. Buick EVs won't.
Like most concept vehicles intended purely as design studies, the Wildcat contains not only visual cues that will be interpreted for production models but also fanciful ideas that will never see the light of day. The Wildcat's interior is show-car fancy, with exotic-looking seats that would be appropriate in a Ferrari, maybe, but in a Buick SUV? Not so much. When you pull the door open, a section of the roof pops up to ease your entry; that's sure to be another nonstarter.
Much more likely to make it into production are the large, curved screen sweeping across most of the instrument panel that's not unlike the one in the current, and the flat-bottom steering wheel that's in, well, everything from VWs to Bugattis. Buick's new look will debut first on a conventionally powered gas-engine SUV that will be revealed later this year and go into production in 2023 as a 2024 model. The first Electra EV will roll out of an assembly plant a year later.
