Our first look at the Electra E5's cabin is of the Chinese version, but we expect it to look a lot like the forthcoming America one.
Although it's not quite as big as the one in the Caddy, the Electra E5 features a sizable 30-inch curved OLED screen with an impressive 6K resolution; Buick says it can smoothly reflect 1 billion colors. Of course, the E5 also has 5G technology and allows over-the-air OTA updates. Other notable, albeit expected, infotainment features include wireless Apple CarPlay as well as wireless phone charging.
The Electra E5 that's destined for China definitely has high-end content, such as a 12.6-inch color head-up display and ambient interior lighting with 121 color options. However, based solely on the new images we've seen, it appears Buick could be upping its game in the luxury arena.While hard-looking plastics still remain below the E5's beltline, there appears to be upscale brightwork on the floating center console, the doors, and the dash.
It's obviously too soon to tell how luxurious the Buick Electra E5 will be and how close the American version will be to its Chinese counterpart. Still, based on the images we've seen and the information we've learned today, the U.S.-bound Electra could help move Buick upmarket when it reaches our shores sometime in 2024—likely as a 2025 model.
