2023 BUICK ENVISION
The 2023 Buick Envision emphasizes style and technology inside the vehicle. This model features a standard 2.0-liter Turbo Ecotec® engine capable of 228 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft of torque.

Inside the vehicle, the QuietTuning™ technology ensures a smooth and comfortable ride with its noise cancellation, fine-tuned suspension, and rigid body structure. You have up to 52.7 cubic feet of storage space inside the 2023 Buick Envision and connect to your devices with Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and available Amazon Alexa® Built-In functionality.
2023 GMC TERRAIN
The 2023 GMC Terrain focuses on adventurous features built for off-roading. The available AWD traction selector lets you choose between the drive modes that best suit the road conditions.
For a compact SUV, this model still generates plenty of power with its 1.5L turbocharged engine with eBoost™ mild hybrid technology. This generates up to 175 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft of torque. In addition, with the hill descent control function, you can ensure smooth control no matter the incline.

When the road gets tough, your SUV is put to the ultimate test. The 2023 GMC Yukon, available now at Brown and Wood Buick GMC, soars above the competition with its capability, technology, and safety features. But how does the latest GMC Yukon compare to the 2023 Chevy Traverse?
POWER AND STRENGTH
The 2023 GMC Yukon comes standard with a 5.3-liter V8 engine delivering up to 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft of torque. Compare that to the 2023 Chevy Traverse, whose 3.6-liter V6 engine gets up to 310 horsepower and 266 lb.-ft of torque.

TECHNOLOGY
The front console on the 2023 GMC Yukon features a standard 12-inch digital Driver Information Center, combining the dashboard and instrument cluster in a single easy-to-read display designed to minimize distraction. The 2023 Chevy Traverse offers multiple screen options, but the largest only measures eight inches.
SAFETY
Standard on select GMC Yukon and Chevy Traverse trims are automatic electronic braking, forward collision alert, and lane keep assist with lane departure warning. In addition, the 2023 GMC Yukon features the available GMC Pro Safety Plus Package. This package includes lane-change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear park alert.

GETTING YOUR VEHICLE READY FOR SPRING

Drivers who hate driving in snowy and icy conditions no doubt look forward to the coming of spring. We’re also gearing up for spring at Brown and Wood Buick GMC. With spring around the corner, it’s time to get your car ready for spring — and the Brown and Wood service team is here to help.
WASH YOUR CAR
Winter weather can take a toll on your car, and when the snow melts, you’ll probably notice a lot of dirt. So give your car a thorough washing, including the underbelly.
CHECK YOUR TIRES
As the cold weather subsides, you’ll want to inspect your tires to ensure they’re adequately inflated and not damaged. Of course, snow tires will need to be swapped out if they’re installed.
CHECK YOUR WIPERS
With the spring months comes plenty of rain. Thus, you want to check that your windshield wipers are still in good condition and replace them if necessary.
CHANGE YOUR OIL
It’s best to get an oil change done on your vehicle as the winter months are winding down. Your oil works overtime during the cold, so the change of seasons is an ideal time to get this done.
TEST YOUR A/C
Spring brings warmer weather, and eventually, summer will come around with hot days. So if your car’s air conditioner needs work, you’ll want to deal with it quickly.
CHECK YOUR BATTERY
Extreme cold temperatures can put a significant strain on your battery. Make sure it’s working correctly, or replace it if it’s time to let it go.
THE BROWN AND WOOD SERVICE TEAM HELPS YOU PREPARE FOR SPRING
Need to get any of these spring cleaning service tasks done in the Greenville, NC, area? The Brown and Wood Buick GMC service team can assist you with whatever you need.

BUICK ELECTRA E4: WHAT WE KNOW

It’s time once again to look to the future and examine the upcoming Buick Electra E4. This future fully-electric Buick SUV underscores the manufacturer’s commitment to the future of hybrid and electric cars. While Buick continues production on this model, the Brown and Wood Buick GMC experts are here to discuss everything we know about this future Buick SUV.
WHAT IS THE BUICK ELECTRA E4?
To understand the Buick Electra E4, let’s first discuss the Buick Electra-X. This concept car, revealed in 2022, details a fully electric crossover SUV with an aerodynamic design, a tech-driven interior, and the Ultium® electric vehicle platform.
Buick plans to adapt the Buick Electra-X concept into the Buick Electra E5, set to be manufactured this year. With the Buick Electra E4, Buick is doubling down on this concept with a shorter, more compact model.
The Buick Electra E4 features a standard single electric motor powertrain that generates up to 241 horsepower. In addition, its lithium-iron phosphate Ultium® battery pack generates up to 180 kW of power; apparently, a double-motor version will also be available.
WHEN AND WHERE ARE THE BUICK ELECTRA E4 COMING OUT?
As of now, we don’t know when precisely the Buick Electra E4 is set to launch, though it’s expected to debut sometime in 2025. It’s also unknown what countries will receive the Buick Electra E4; it’s currently set to be a China-exclusive model, yet this plan might change.
FIND THE RIGHT BUICK SUV FOR YOU
We’ll have to wait a bit longer for finalized details on the Buick Electra E4. However, Brown and Wood Buick GMC can help you find the right Buick SUV available right now. So visit us today to see what we have in stock!

The used car lot at Brown and Wood Buick GMC contains several certified pre-owned GM vehicles for your perusal. Even though owning used cars comes with certain practical considerations, they can still be just as reliable as their new counterparts. If you’re wondering whether used cars with higher mileage are reliable enough, let’s look at the facts.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A USED CAR HAS HIGHER MILEAGE?
Obviously, a car with higher mileage has been driven for quite a while. However, not all mileage takes the same toll on a vehicle. Engines thrive on highway driving, so a car with significant highway mileage may be in better shape than a car with lower miles that’s spent much of its service life in stop-and-go traffic.
However, mileage is not the only consideration when you’re buying a used car. The car’s age matters, too; a newer car with higher mileage is often a safer bet than an older model with the same odometer reading. Similarly, get to know the car’s previous history, especially regarding prior owners, previous accidents, and its maintenance history.
SHOULD YOU CONSIDER A USED CAR WITH HIGH MILEAGE?
In general, mileage should only be one of several aspects to understand when shopping for used cars. If the vehicle you’re looking at isn’t too old, doesn’t require many (if any) repairs, and has a solid history, it could be a reliable machine even if it has high mileage. At Brown and Wood Buick GMC, we can help you identify the best used cars for you.
