History
The Velite 6 was previewed with the Velite concept car in 2016[2] (not to be confused with the 2004 concept of the same name). In April 2018, two production-intent models were unveiled; one electric, and the other a plug-in hybrid.[3]. The production Buick Velite 6 debuted at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show in April. It is currently only available as an all-electric vehicle, with two battery options available.[4]
The Velite 6 is available in three variants: Entry, Middle, and Luxury. It also features three driving modes (standard, sport, and economy)[clarification needed] and three levels of energy recycling.[4]
Velite 6 Plus
The Buick Velite 6 Plus was introduced in October 2019. The Velite 6 Plus has a larger battery, with 52.5 kWh capacity and a range of up to 410 km on the NEDC.[5] It generates up to 110 kW (148 hp; 150 PS) and 350 N⋅m (258 lb⋅ft) torque.
