Buick Avista receives EyesOn Design Excellence Award

The #buick #avista #concept received the EyesOn Design Award for Design #excellence#concept Car at a ceremony today at the North American International #auto Show.

It was the second consecutive year #buick received the award, which was bestowed on the Avenir #concept in 2015. EyesOn Design – a benefit for Henry Ford Health System’s #detroit Institute of Ophthalmology – recognizes the best production and #concept vehicle designs making their worldwide debut in #detroit.

“Design has always played a large role in Buick's rich history and recent success,” said Bryan Nesbitt, executive director, #buick Global Design. “The #avista #concept has been a labor of love by the team of designers, sculptors, engineers and talented craftspeople, including our UAW partners, who created this beautiful statement of #buick design. #avista represents the future essence of #buick design.”

A sleek, sweeping proportion is the foundation for this vision of a contemporary grand tourer, with a 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged V-6 driving the rear wheels. The Avista’s uninterrupted body lines stretch front to rear, suggesting motion – resembling Buick’s design language introduced on the Avenir #concept and carried into production on the 2017 LaCrosse.

Like the exterior, the Avista’s 2+2 interior is defined by flowing, uninterrupted lines conveying elegance through simplicity – with intense technical and surfaces details, in everything from 3D-printed door and seat trim to a future vision of Buick’s IntelliLink, with touchscreen controls on a widescreen instrument panel display.

Exposed carbon fiber and aluminum accents throughout reinforce the precision of the performance-oriented driving experience.
