The Buick brand has enjoyed tremendous growth over the years. It’s evolved from a respected automaker that can trace its roots back to 1899 to a modern luxury brand offering vehicles with sculpted, cutting-edge designs, luxurious interiors, and thoughtful personal technologies. Now the Buick brand is evolving once again with the announcement of the Avenir sub-brand.

The Avenir sub-brand is inspired by Buick’s evolving customer base. The brand has grown quickly, especially among female buyers, and one in two Buick customers today are coming from competitive brands. These customers come expecting a high-end experience and premium quality, which is exactly what Avenir will deliver.

“Through the first half of 2016, Buick has been the industry’s fastest-growing major international brand, and Avenir is key to future growth and delivering on the high expectations of new customers coming to our showrooms,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick Sales, Service and Marketing. “Avenir will be Buick’s signature. The highest expression of the luxury experiences we’re delivering now and in the future.”

Avenir vehicles will add distinct touches to Buick’s timeless, sculpted designs, including a three-dimensional mesh grille, large-diameter wheels, and unique trim finishes. Inside, Avenir models will enhance the brand’s quiet, inviting environment with unique seat details, modern trim materials, and Avenir script identification.

The name “Avenir,” French for “future,” is taken from the award-winning concept sedan from 2015. That concept and this year’s Avista coupe concept (pictured above) — from which the new sub-brand borrows its grille pattern — have served as guides for future Buick vehicles.
