Buick is giving us a preview of the new GL8 minivan ahead of its debut on November 28th in China.

While we only found a Chinese press release, we were able to extract some information from a rather poor online translation.

Based on the Buick Business Concept, the GL8 will be marketed as a “luxury business car” rather than a minivan. It’s certainly got the look, and while not much of the interior has been revealed yet, so far it looks quite luxurious.

Power will come from either a 3.0L V6 or 2.4L inline-four, both connected to a six-speed automatic gearbox. It’s unknown if the car will be sold outside of China, but we wouldn’t count on it.
