General Motor’s Chinese branch announced a new Buick concept SUV called the Envision, set for debut at Auto Shanghai 2011 on April 18.

This car is apparently made entirely in China and Americans had nothing to do with it, as it’s jointly developed by Shanghai GM and the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC). Although it uses Buick’s “dynamic, fluid, quiet and comfortable” design, they’ve included local aesthetics for the China market. The Envision is also a green car, powered by an advanced plug-in hybrid system and loads of other new technologies, as a preview of what Buick will be using in future models.

The teaser image doesn’t reveal the face of the Envision, but its back-end looks promising! There’s still no word if Buick’s going to make a global model based on this concept or is it just a design exercise.
