The Velite 7 was launched in July 2020, alongside a new PHEV version of the Buick Velite 6 wagon.[2]
A car resembling the Buick Velite 7 first appeared in a document from 2017 describing GM's future electric vehicle plans.[3] However, the image was quickly replaced with a covered vehicle. The same vehicle is also believed to be an upcoming variant of the Chevrolet Bolt referred to as the "Bolt EUV".[4]
