The Buick Velite 7 is a subcompact electric crossover that is sold exclusively in China. The Velite 7 is similar to the Chevrolet Bolt, using the same BEV2 platform, but is slightly larger.
History
A car resembling the Buick Velite 7 first appeared in a document from 2017 describing GM's future electric vehicle plans. However, the image was quickly replaced with a covered vehicle.[2][3] In January 2020, the Velite 7 was photographed while being road tested under camouflage. At the time, it was speculated this was an upcoming variant of the Chevrolet Bolt which would be released as the Bolt EUV.[4] It was later confirmed the vehicle was the Velite 7,[5] although the Bolt EUV is a closely related rebadged Velite with some styling differences.[6]
