Common Motors is getting again into the sedan recreation. By the top of 2027, the automaker will start manufacturing of a brand new Cadillac CT5 on a platform anticipated to underpin a variety of recent fashions, together with a reborn Camaro. A part of that technique additionally features a Buick sedan.
GM is claimed to be making “multiple variants” of its new platform, with no less than two sedans anticipated. One is the next-generation CT5, whereas the opposite is generally a thriller, nevertheless it ought to arrive carrying a Buick badge.
The model doesn’t promote a single sedan proper now, discontinuing the LaCrosse after the 2019 mannequin 12 months and the Regal after 2020. Nonetheless, it seems there’s a shift amongst customers towards extra automobiles slightly than vans or SUVs, which this new Buick might capitalize on.
We gained’t know for positive what GM has deliberate till they reveal their new merchandise, however that is every little thing we all know concerning the Buick sedan to this point.
What Will Buick Name It?

Buick’s whole lineup is full of mannequin names that start with the letter “E,” and we wouldn’t anticipate something much less for this new sedan. The automaker filed a trademark for the Electra identify in 2025, which it makes use of in China on a variety of new-energy automobiles.
Buick might use it right here in america, and it would trace on the powertrain beneath, although we wouldn’t anticipate a totally electrical variant anytime quickly. Electra is a reputation Buick has used earlier than, debuting in 1959, with manufacturing lasting by way of 1990.
The Electra looks as if an apparent alternative, however GM might shock us with one thing utterly totally different. The dictionary is the restrict.
What Platform Will It Trip On?
The brand new Buick sedan will experience on GM’s updated Alpha 2 platform, which is able to underpin the subsequent Cadillac CT5 and the upcoming seventh-generation Camaro. The platform is anticipated to retain the structure’s rear-wheel-drive configuration.

What Will Energy It?
The powertrain lineup for Buick’s sedan is a thriller. The platform might be able to accommodating a variety of powertrains, together with V8s, however with Cadillac readying a brand new CT5, the Buick would possibly pack one thing distinctive to distinguish it.
We anticipate the Buick will pack a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, seemingly the LSY that powers a number of GM fashions, together with the present CT5. It makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque within the sedan.
Whereas the V8 will match, we wouldn’t be shocked if the highest engine was the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that makes as much as 360 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque within the CT5-V. It could separate it from the Camaro and any potential future CT5-V Blackwing providing.
Buick might additionally closely depend on hybrid powertrains and have some type of electrification.
What Will It Look Like?

Buick doesn’t provide any sedans in america, nevertheless it does in China, the place it has had some hanging designs. Our rendering depicts the model’s new mannequin with a pointy nostril, a gaping decrease consumption, and smooth headlights largely impressed by these automobiles.
On the again, the automobile includes a brief rear deck, a small trunk spoiler, and quad exhaust suggestions that sit under an aggressive—for Buick—diffuser. Inside, we anticipate the sedan to have no less than two screens and Tremendous Cruise functionality.
When Will It Debut?
We might see Buick’s new sedan as early as this 12 months. Manufacturing for the next-generation Cadillac CT5, using on the up to date platform, is anticipated to start within the fall of 2027. Whether or not Buick will begin constructing its sedan on the identical time stays to be seen, however we doubt manufacturing will begin a lot later than that.
If manufacturing does start subsequent fall, Buick’s sedan might be on sale as quickly as late 2027 or early 2028.

How A lot Will It Price?
If Buick launches a brand new sedan, we anticipate it to be considerably inexpensive. The automaker’s present lineup begins at simply over $25,000 for 2026 and tops out with the Enclave, which begins at round $47,000, so we doubt it will likely be greater than $50,000.
Whether it is sharing a platform with Cadillac, GM gained’t need it to be too costly and compete with the brand new CT5, so we anticipate the brand new Buick to undercut. The 2026 CT5 is a $50,000 sedan, so we wouldn’t be shocked if a Buick sedan begins within the mid-$30,000 vary, nevertheless it might be greater or decrease.
