Buick attempts to one-up the Lexus LM minivan with the extra-luxurious GL8 Avenir concept.

First introduced at the 2019 Shanghai auto show, the GL8 Avenir concept features diamond-patterned seats, two huge rear infotainment displays, and an expansive glass roof.

The updated 2023 Buick GL8 family features a new front-end design with a larger, more expressive grille that gives every Buick full-size MPV an imposing presence, as well as improved features and a higher level of on-board comfort. This revamped family is comprised of the second-generation GL8 Legacy along with the third-generation GL8 ES and GL8 Avenir, which will be sold alongside the all-new Buick GL8 Century.

Interior

The Buick’s interior is set up much like the Lexus’s but features even more comfortable-looking reclining chairs, airline-style headrests, and a nearly full-length center console with what looks like a champagne cooler to accompany the gold champagne flutes. Accoutrements like these wouldn’t seem entirely out of place in a Bentley Mulsanne or a Mercedes-Benz S-class, so to see a Buick dressed to the nines like this is unusual.

The ivory and autumn red interior theme looks beautifully nautical and is punctuated by shiny gold detailing. Front-seat occupants can enjoy a fair bit of pampering themselves, with chairs that feature the same diamond-patterned stitching and what looks like a leather-wrapped dashboard and two-tone leather steering wheel.

The expansive glass roof is perfect for stargazing, a point that’s driven home by Buick’s press photos. A 12-inch infotainment display, a digital gauge cluster, and a huge 14-inch driver head-up display accompany the dual rear-seat entertainment screen to make the GL8 a well-connected executive minivan.
