Technology ArticleThe Full Size Buick Park Avenue The Buick Park Avenue is a full-size car built by General Motors and sold by its Buick division. The nameplate was first used since 1975 as a top trim level of the Buick Electra, and the Park Avenue became a standalone model in 1991, replacing the Electra. Two generations of the Park Avenue were manufactured in the United States until 2005, while in 2007 the nameplate was revived on a large Buick sedan built by Shanghai-GM for the Chinese market. The model's name pays homage to the affluent New York City boulevard, the Park Avenue. In 2007, General Motors reintroduced the Park Avenue nameplate in the People's Republic of China on a luxury sedan that replaced the Buick Royaum. Like its predecessor, the vehicle is based on the Australian-built Holden Statesman (this time on the contemporary WM generation), though, unlike the Royaum, it is assembled by GM Shanghai from CKD kits.[1] The Park Avenue is powered by Australian-built versions of the GM High Feature engine. The engine is available with two different displacements, a 2.8 L (201 bhp) and a 3.6 L (250 bhp) version. The engine control unit is a Bosch E77 32-bit ECM processor. Buick/Shanghai GM is offering the Park Avenue in five different versions, ranging from the 2.8 L Comfort (RMB328,800) to the 3.6-liter Flagship (RMB 498,800).
