New Buick Hybrid Crossover

General Motors has released a teaser image of a Buick Hybrid Crossover which will debut in 2011. The new Buick plug-in hybrid will be able to seat five adults and is expected to be the first commercially available plug-in hybrid crossover produced by a major automaker. A standard version powered by a range of direct-injected gasoline engines, however, will be available from next year.

The Buick Hybrid Crossover will be powered by the company's 2-Mode Hybrid system with advanced lithium-ion battery cells and Voltec charging technology. The powertrain of the Buick Hybrid Crossover will include a direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 flex-fuel engine, two electric motors, electronic controls and battery management systems.
