While Elon Musk's Tesla electric crossover Model Y may grab the most headlines, General Motors' Buick brand unveiled its Enspire crossover at this year's Beijing Auto Show. The company, which is popular in China, has designed a 550-horsepower electric motor that will let the Enspire reach 60 mph in just 4 seconds, faster than any previous Buick. Range for the electric car is an impressive 370 miles. Though tall and fairly rectangular like most crossovers and SUVs, the concept is nonetheless extremely elegant, and it gets more interesting on the inside.
Features include an augmented reality display for the windshield that can show road information and navigation routes, and seats with shock absorbers built into the frame. It also has taillights that indicate braking intensity to other drivers.
Buick has not officially announced whether the Enspire will head to production, but a spokesman noted that the company has an 80-year history of drawing inspiration from concepts since the Y-Job's debut. "Concepts serve as guiding lights to where our brand is going," he said.
