The most compact vehicle family in the new Buick lineup is the Encore GX, an urban crossover perfect for city driving. If you need a fuel-efficient vehicle for commuting and driving around Chapel Hill, the new Encore GX comes with the Buick Driver Confidence package for comfort, convenience, and safety. Some of the functions in the package include automatic high beams, collision alerts, intelligent lane-keeping assistance, following distance notifications, and automatic braking in case of collision. You can choose the ECOTEC 1.2L or ECOTEC 1.3L powertrains; both are turbocharged engines with front-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

A larger, more affordable Buick crossover is the new Envista, a four-door compact crossover that allows you to drive up to four adult passengers. With a maximum rear cargo capacity of 42 cubic feet, you can store carry-on flight suitcases for each passenger. The exterior design of the Envista makes it one of the most stylish crossovers in Durham. Its sloping roofline and bold front grille design are reminiscent of classic coupes.

If you need a more spacious and capable crossover, the new Buick Envision is built on a midsize SUV chassis with seating for you and up to four passengers. The most family-friendly Buick SUV is the new Envista, a midsize model with three rows of seating for up to six adult passengers and plenty of rear cargo space. All new Buick models are available at the Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir trim levels. If you get a new Buick in the Avenir line, some of the upscale features you get include panoramic sunroofs, heated seats covered in fine leather upholstery, adaptive cruise control that integrates with the GPS, a tuned suspension for comfortable rides, premium audio by Bose Automotive, SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless charging, chrome exterior accents, and many others.

New GMC Pickup Trucks

Cary drivers who need a reliable work truck should evaluate the new GMC Canyon. This popular midsize pickup model delivers passenger comfort and a surprising capacity for towing up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped. When you need more rugged performance and capacity, the new GMC Sierra 1500 can tow up to 13,300 pounds when equipped with the 6.2-liter V8 powertrain and the Max Trailering Package. You also have the new GMC Sierra EV, an electric version of the Sierra 1500 with more power and capacity.

For the ultimate heavy-duty hauling and towing, check out the new GMC Sierra HD, which can tow up to 36,000 pounds. For maximum off-road driving action, the new GMC Hummer EV pickup combines the comfort of a full-size SUV with the convenience of a cargo bed. Depending on the trim level, the Hummer EV Pickup battery pack can provide a range of up to 355 miles, and it can charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in less than an hour when plugged into a Level 3 DC charger.

New GMC Crossovers and SUVs

The king of all-American SUVs is the GMC Hummer EV, a full-size model that has abandoned its gas-guzzling past for the zero-emissions future of electric powertrains. The new Hummer EV generates 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque for maximum off-road driving action.

One of the most luxurious GMC SUVs you can drive is the new GMC Yukon, a full-size model with space for up to eight passengers equipped with bench seats or seven passengers configured with captain's chairs. The Yukon is the GMC flagship SUV, which means that it is loaded with upscale features such as fine leather upholstery, a multimedia entertainment system for rear passengers, head-up display, night vision, intelligent cruise control, surround-view camera system, and wireless charging for compatible devices.

The most compact SUV in the new GMC lineup is the Terrain, an urban crossover that can accommodate up to four passengers. The new GMC Acadia, a midsize SUV with three rows of seating and off-road features that can handle light to moderate off-road trails, offers more passenger and cargo space.

All GMC SUVs and pickup trucks, except the Hummer family, are available in the Denali package, turning them into luxury vehicles. The AT4 package is for rugged off-road performance; for example, the new Sierra 1500 AT4 and the AT4X have the tuning you need to race endurance courses such as the Baja 1000. Its two-inch suspension lift, Multimatic dampers, electronic locking differentials, and skid plates make it a capable rock crawler and desert racer.

New GMC Commercial Vehicles

Although the GMC Sierra HD line offers rugged performance usually associated with commercial vehicles, you can increase your payload and towing capacity with the Sierra 3500 HD Chassis Cab, a double rear-axle model available in various configurations. If you need dependable cargo delivery or passenger transportation solutions, the new GMC Savana van has Passenger, Cargo, and Cutaway configurations.

Regarding commercial vehicles, the GMC advantage goes beyond rugged capacity. The Savana Cutaway van, for example, is fully equipped with technology features such as Onstar Vehicle Insights, remote keyless entry and ignition, surround-view camera system, lane-keeping assistance, climate zones, and many others.
