Earlier this month, we heard a rather intriguing rumor. A report from Car and Driver claimed General Motors is planning to establish the Escalade and also Camaro as standalone sub-brands with their own models. The Escalade is rumored to get a smaller three-row crossover and a minivan, complementing the existing Escalade high-end SUV. Fueled by this intriguing rumor, our coworkers at Kolesa.ru created this exclusive rendering previewing what an Escalade-branded MPV can look like.
This extremely early as well as speculative consider the Escalade minivan doesn’t look bad, to be straightforward. The Escalade’s front fascia with a large grille seems to fit well into the total boxy layout of contemporary MPVs. Much more so when you consider the brand-new generation of luxury minivans for the Chinese market from local as well as international car manufacturers– like the Zeekr 009 and Trumpchi M8, for example (take a look at the associated links listed below).
Mentioning the People’s Republic’s growing minivan segment, it is believed that if Escalade increases right into a standalone sub-brand, its large family item will be developed and also constructed specifically for the Chinese market. There, brands like Buick and Lexus presently have high-end minivans on sale as well as there’s strong competitors from residential brands, too.
Regrettably, the info is limited at the moment and also we can only make assumptions regarding the Escalade minivan. One very probable circumstance, nevertheless, seems to be a rebranded variation of the recently introduced Buick GL8 Century, which is a big MPV with Maybach degrees of legroom, features such as Bose audio speakers integrated into the headrests, as well as sliding rear doors. Theoretically, its Escalade-branded brother can be released as a somewhat a lot more budget friendly and sportier offering to enhance the GL8’s profile in China.
Back to the report from recently, Car and also Driver likewise asserted Escalade could release another extra design along with the minivan and also the three-row SUV. According to the readily available details, there can be a raised sedan or wagon, possibly similar in concept to the new Toyota Crown.
