The Buick GL8 is a minivan sold by General Motors' Buick division in China. Released in 2000, the GL8 is essentially a rebadged Pontiac Montana. Many people tend to think the Buick Terraza was Buick's first minivan, since the GL8 is exclusively sold in the Chinese market. It was redesigned for 2005; however, it has a more aerodynamic and futuristic look than its American counterparts, the Buick Terraza, the Chevrolet Uplander, the Pontiac Montana, and the Saturn Relay.

Models

The regular wheelbase GL8 is known as the GL8 2.5 while the extended wheelbase variant is called the GL8 Firstland. There are four trim levels available, called the LT, CT1, CT2, and GT (which is only available on the Firstland).
