Buick Wildcat Electric Ultra Coupe Introduce https://youtu.be/KWwLkoZyXkg
While the Wildcat concept is touted as an EV, it was neither designed nor sized to accommodate GM's Ultium battery pack—nor any battery pack, for that matter. During our visit, Sharon Gauci, executive director of global Buick-GMC design, emphasized that the Wildcat's mission is to inform the styling of upcoming Buicks by giving the brand's designers a clear design direction that they can apply to production vehicles. "This was a tremendous opportunity to come up with what a new design language and aesthetic for Buick will feel like," she said.
The Wildcat's design team started by defining a new look for the future Electra EV line. Those elements will in turn will be phased into Buick's upcoming internal-combustion-powered SUVs. In fact, the team that created the Wildcat EV is also working on future production Buicks, so the new-age design influence is already at work in the studio.
Buick has confirmed that the first Electra EV SUV will be revealed sometime in 2024; we expect it to go on sale as a 2025 model.
