Buick To Re-Badge Chevrolet Volt As The Velite 5 And Sell In China

Buick rolled out its version of the Chevrolet Volt for the Chinese market this week, with the upscale hybrid dubbed Velite 5 in the Middle Kingdom. Buick offers far more models in China than it does in the U.S., and analysts predicted a Buick version of the Volt would be offered there before the second-generation model even debuted.

Just like the Volt, the Buick Velite 5 will be powered by two electric motors drawing juice from a lithium ion battery and a 1.5-liter inline-four range extender. In contrast with the 53-mile pure-electric rating in the U.S., the Velite 5 has been rated at 72 miles for the Chinese market, reflecting a different testing methodology.

I am so sorry and no intend to offend but those rebadge cars are not working for me. It is something like easy way to make money for me. For those that doesn't like cars is ok , but for people that love cars is like a sin.
