[3] The production Buick Velite 6 debuted at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show in April.

It also features three driving modes (standard, sport, and economy)[clarification needed] and three levels of energy recycling.

The Velite 6 Plus has a larger battery, with 52.5 kWh capacity and a range of up to 410 kilometers (250 mi) on the NEDC.

In November 2021, Buick introduced an updated version of the original and Plus models, called the Velite 6 EV to distinguish it from the plug-in hybrid (PHEV).

[9] The Velite 6 PHEV includes a "lock" mode which keeps the car on hybrid power for maximum range.
