Buick is falling in line. On Wednesday, Buick announced it will convert to a fully electric lineup by 2030, and will release its first electric vehicle under the Electra name in 2024 and show it later this year. To show the design direction for that and other Buicks moving forward, the brand also revealed the Wildcat EV concept car.
Those design elements include the forward-tilting front end with a low-mounted trapezoidal grille and checkmark-shaped headlights and taillights with welcome choreography. The car's side sculpting and aluminum trim could also show up on future cars, but don't expect the low, sleek stance to make it to production. The car also marks the debut of a new tri-shield logo, significantly modified for the first time since 1990, that will appear on the front and back of future cars.
Inside, the car has a full-length center console that ensure no center seating position in the small second row. The cabin features front seats with headrests that appear to float, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and metal pedals. A wide touchscreen that starts in front of the driver and extends to the center stack dominates the dash. Another screen sits at the front of the center console and appears to handle general vehicle information.
