When it comes to Buick, you can make a strong argument for its vehicles being labeled both “mainstream” and “luxury.” Most of the models feature high-quality interiors and infotainment systems. In recent years, Buick has worked hard to reinvigorate the brand. Thus, they have become an international brand that has models around the globe.
