Buick has revealed the interior of the Electra E5 crossover.

Buick is reviving the Electra name for its family of electric vehicles, the first member of which is the Electra E5, a compact crossover that will go on sale in China later this year.

Buick unveiled the exterior design of the Electra E5 last December and on Tuesday premiered the crossover's interior. While the Electra E5 is not likely to land in the U.S., its exterior and interior designs may foreshadow the future of electric Buicks sold in the United States.

The cabin design is not groundbreaking, but it appears comfortable. Highlights include a 30-inch curved screen that incorporates a digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen. A heads-up display will also be available.

Other technologies include wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless charging for smartphones, 5G connectivity, Over-the-Air update support, and Bose audio.

The Electra E5 will have an overall length of 192.6 inches and a wheelbase of 116.3 inches, roughly the same size as the Chevrolet Equinox EV, which will go on sale in the United States in 2024. According to Buick, it will be one of the widest cars in its class.

The Electra E5 is known to use General Motors' Ultium EV platform and battery technology, but Buick is holding off on specific powertrain details until closer to market launch.

As for Buick's U.S.-bound EVs, at least two are expected to hit showrooms by the end of 2024, both SUVs: one will be conventionally proportioned and the other more coupe-like in proportions.
