2025 Buick Park Avenue Returns to America as an Affordable Sedan, Albeit in Fantasy Land

If you go to places like China, you will encounter such models, though – like the Verano Pro, the fresh Regal, or the flagship LaCrosse. That's the exception, though, as Canada and Mexico share the crossover-only attitude with the United States.

Sure, folks might say that a $22,400 Envista, a $25,600 Encore GX, the $33,400 Envision, or the $43,900 Enclave could be more than enough for anyone's needs – especially since the Encore GX is refreshed and the Envista plus 2025 Enclave are all-new. Additionally, customers can also select between the Sport Touring line, which is self-explanatory, and the premium Avenir line if they want additional personalization.

However, a big chunk of Buick's fans laments the departure of the brand's passenger cars from the North American roster. Heck, even the parallel universes of vehicular CGI feel sad about it – and the imaginative realm of digital car content creators usually doesn't sit idle without doing something virtual about such issues.

More precisely, Dimas Ramadhan, the virtual automotive artist behind the Digimods DESIGN channel on YouTube, has taken up the task of CGI-revealing a revived Buick Park Avenue sedan. The pixel master is on a defunct American nameplates' spree as he previously brought back the Cadillac Seville luxury sedan and also gave a new lease of life to the Dodge Magnum station wagon.

Now he's focused on an unofficial, hypothetical all-new 2025 Buick Park Avenue, but unlike the original – produced between 1990 and 2005 in the United States and 2007 to 2012 in China, this doesn't feel like a full-size four-door sedan with big V6 engines under the hood. Instead, its new and contemporary Buick looks feel inspired by the first-ever 2024 Buick Envista compact crossover SUV (it's a five-door fastback coupe-SUV, actually).

As such, it's probably more compact in size and could take a rightful place as an affordable sedan in the GM roster – especially now that the mid-size Chevrolet Malibu is being sent to car Valhalla after production stops later this year. Alas, this 2025 Buick Park Avenue revival is merely wishful thinking, and General Motors may have no intention of bringing it back – especially as a $20k to $25k affordable sedan that wouldn't yield fat profits.

Instead, they are more preoccupied with fat-check-yielders like full-size crossovers, SUVs, and trucks. Alone, the C8 Chevrolet Corvette seems destined to solider alone as GM's last vestige of the once-proud passenger car lineup. Luckily, the premium side is well guarded, and Cadillac doesn't seem ready to give up on passenger cars – hence its CT4 and refreshed CT5 sedans or the flagship all-electric Celestiq. So, what do you think?
