FactBuick's Century minivan is a GL8 wearing a new name, the brand's first model in its Pure Design language.
In August 2022 SAIC-GM introduced the Buick Century, also called the GL8 Century, a luxury minivan previewed by the GL8 Flagship Concept and launched in November 2022. Built at Jinqiao, Shanghai, on the GM VSS-F platform, it was the first Buick in the Pure Design style. It is offered as the base Century, the Century Avenir and the Century Flagship in six- and seven-seat layouts, powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged 48-volt mild-hybrid four with a nine-speed automatic.

SAIC-GM sold this GL8 generation right alongside the older one it was supposed to replace.
GM styled this GL8 after its own 2009 Business concept, then kept building it on a chassis already a decade old.
Buick's GL8 began life as a rebadged Chevrolet Venture, the same minivan Chevrolet itself sold as the Venture in the Philippines.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.
Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.
YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.
The Terraza was Buick's first-ever minivan for the North American market - a badge-engineered cousin of the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay.
The restyled 1994 Lumina Minivan quietly made American automotive history: it was the first minivan sold in the US with a power sliding door you could open by remote.
The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.
Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.
The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
