Full-Size Buick SUV Rendering Combos Class And Cargo Room

General Motors’ current full-size SUV lineup includes a swath of next-generation offerings from Chevrolet (Tahoe and Suburban), GMC (Yukon), and Cadillac (Escalade). With the new GM T1 platform providing the bones, these all-new SUVs offer enhanced ride comfort and the latest technology, all while packing in copious passenger and cargo room. But what about GM’s other North American brand? What about a full-size Buick SUV?
It’s an interesting concept, so to find out what a new full-size Buick SUV could look like, GM Authority reader Brandon L. DeJean flexed his digital art skills and came up with the following two renderings.
A recent graduate from Youngstown State University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, DeJean calls his new renderings the Buick Estate. The renderings combo the size and presence of GM’s latest full-size SUV models, but with the style and class of a modern Buick Avenir model.
Standout details on the new Buick SUV models includes a stylish fascia design, with pointed headlamps that are pulled back towards the fenders, giving the front end a taut, muscular look. The headlamps are connected by a single LED bar that stretches all the way across the upper grille section, bisecting the air intake into a lower and upper section, while also illuminating the centrally placed Buick logo.
Large, polished wheels roll under the fenders, while the lower body color is matched to the rest of the panels for a more premium look, as compared to the black lower body components on models like the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe.
A similar theme can be found in back, where the long, horizontal lighting design is used again for the tail lamps. Quad exhaust pipes peak out from under the rear bumper, while polished trim complements the large wheels.
Naturally, it bears mentioning that there’s currently no indication General Motors will actually produce a new full-size Buick SUV. Nevertheless, it’s a cool idea, and these renderings prove that such a model could look quite nice as well.

While it would make sense for Buick to have a variant of General Motors full size SUV; it makes little sense because like the other full size SUVs, it would essentially share all the same components with the only difference being the front fascia.
No could compete against the Denali in price point there to many 3 row out there to pick from and lot of them I will not even test drive them. Plus the new (when it goes on sale) grand wagoneers pick from
Great idea! This would put Buick back on top! Same as they did with the Regal..Selling big Time!
Yes it will, but also create an electric full size sedan if the Cadillac celestiq is a huge success
Well done Brandon. Looks great. My wife drives a 2016 Enclave & loves it. (she will not part with it) I drive a 2021 Chevrolet Suburban (it’s about my 8th one) I don’t think they need another SUV. The Suburban has the greatest ride etc. I love it.

Omegatalon strikes again!
“While it would make sense for Buick to have a variant…”
“….it makes little sense because….”
Well?
Which is it?
Can Wait To Get Buick Full Size SUV To Complete Against Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade
Will Buick Make Full Size SUV To Complete Against Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade
I guess next they’ll build a pickup truck version of it
I wish General Motors would give Buick a full-size, 3-row, body-on-frame SUV, named Estate, and with extended length, Estate GX, eh?
No market for that in China, Matthew.
Thank you to Brandon for rendering one possibility. If Buick has dropped all cars, then their lineup must be filled out with SUVs and crossovers of all sizes. However I think that there are several problems with these renderings: 1) the basic design is too close to a Chevrolet whatever-its-called and a Cadillac Escalade; 2) it would have to have what is touted as the “new face” of Buick and this doesn’t seem to be it; and 3) the design is based on the current Chevrolet and Cadillac generation so there’s nothing even a little futuristic about it. Again I thank Brandon for trying.
Tahoe + Yukon + Escalade = Buick Estate
Heck yeah! Rendering could use a little work but I like the idea!
Styling wise I can see a more elegant theme inside and out where the Yukon and Tahoe offer a more masculine theme.
I drive a GMC Yukon XL and a Buick Enclave , if Buick built a large suv I would definitely be interested.
Enough of the badge engineering stuff. We already have 3 versions as it is and Buick-GM dealers already offer this in a Denali version. I love the grill though for a 6.2 Tahoe SS!
Looks good but don’t give GM anymore SUV ideas.
I hate to even admit, this might work. Give it a unique combination from the GMC, Caddy and Chevy and you’ll have sales, a ttv6 or a 6.6 V8?. Also the this would compliment Enclave.
Nope! No!
Wow I think it’s a great idea 💡 🙂 😀
Wow this is one of the best looking suv
Granted Buick doesn’t exactly have a lineup in the US anymore but aren’t GMC Yukons already sold at Buick dealers? How would it help to do another badge engineering job on the Tahoe to turn it into a Buick to be sold alongside the GMC.
Remember the old Lincoln commercials when the valet couldn’t tell the new FWD black Olds, Buick’ and Cadillacs apart? Please no. Overlapping GM brands lead to more cannibalism among the brands.
All same platforms with different pricing and plastic. Thanks GM.
Several shades of lipstick on the same pig.
Buick used to mean something.
The Buick Estate that I remember was the largest station wagon ever made by GM.
Y significa , Buick es el cimiento de toda GMC
I got a 2016 Buick Enclave Leather and that’s the 1st Buick and Last, the A/C went out a 68K miles. That’s BS. No more Buick or GM products for me.
Like that doesn’t happen to other makes. Auto maker. Use some of the same suppliers, so I could very well happen to Toyota, Honda or Kia.
Chevy, caddies, gmc, buick all look alike,same body style,look at the dash board of Chevy trucks ,Tahoe and suburban,and gmc same dash board ,nothing different, not imprest about it,all gm cars and trucks look alike,same engine, same every thing,come on ,make something thats different that will attract customers too,we r losing to jap crap.Chevy must change ,Ford makes big and tougher trucks and u c more of them than Chevy, i love Chevy, but not the way it’s going now,impala looks like a Malibu, um all these damme Gmc cars look alike,make something that can compete with other car companies and Jap crap. I believe Chevy trucks r the Cadillac to all pick-up trucks and that’s my thoughts on it.I love the old Chevy trucks and cars,my love ” The Chevells “
G.M. didn’t look in their rearview mirror to see the jap crap coming up behind them. Lol
Honestly Buick used to have the most gorgeous cars out there but now all I see is rebadged Chevys and GMCs. There is simply nothing special about Buick nowadays. Their market is primarily older people who remember “the good old days” when Buick was distinct and special and I guarantee that if Buick doesn’t change and make their brand noticeable and attractive, then they’re gone.
Buick back in the day had their own style and feel of elegance easily compared to cadillac and a few steps above any chevy that was put out but they have slipped over the last 40 + years for a American brand of iconic cars they should put more emphasis on bringing its history back to the future ..
Sola con la creación del motor poder o. Sea válvulas a la cabeza , lo que Buick regalo al mundo entero y los demás hicieron propio ese invento los cuales hoy tocan el cielo , Buick debe de producir lo mejor de lo mejor como lo supo hacer , no hay empresa automovilística mundial que hayan regalado tantos inventos que hoy la s ves en cualquier marca del mundo , y el invento salió de Buick , lamento Buick con su bajo perfil no se hizo respetar como marca y pedí mundial y creo que hoy USA debe de traer esa máquina a la realidad y porque no hacer temblar al mundo , porque argumentos les sobran arriba Buick por siempre .
I like the design, but it would definitely be overkill for all 4 brands have a BOF SUV. A Buick version would be an un-needed mix of an Escalade and Yukon.
I could see some design features seen here as an influence to the next gen Enclave.
I would say the great challenge would be where would a Buick fit into that mix, Yukon has Denali which IMO is basically that slot you have before jumping Cadillac. Which really gets things confused because in old school GM it was traditionally Chevy to Buick(or Olds) and then Caddy when you really made it in life.
Buick losing cars and only making SUVs in a way also makes things muddy because GMC has kind of taken that “between Chevy and Cadillac” slot for SUVs. In the GM sedans world when they still made full lineups, Buick was what sat between Chevy and Caddy. Okay Olds was in there too with Buick when we had Olds.
Pontiac I left out because even before it closed it was always its own thing, usually angling more towards performance.
I’ve had my Chevy Tahoe for 19 years now no issues what so ever only con is gas hogging and that’s ok its expected, I think now I am about to pull the plug on a Yukon I know it’s basically almost the same but for me that is something new, my wife jap car Lexus rx300 18 yo giving her so much headaches too many problems.
No Cadi and no Buick for me thanks.
Do it!!! Just do it!!! Follow the ICE engine with an electric option too!!
New Enclave or design for the it for sure.
IF GM decided to go forward with this it would be to cater to the Chinese market as we all know Buick has had great success there. The question would be how would they make it unique or different. Maybe give Cadillac a performance version and save the electric version for a Buick?
