====2000s====
In the 2000s, Buick's lineup was modified with the compact and performance segments being abandoned in favor of the crossover/SUV market which was growing in popularity. In 2000, Buick headed into the new millennium with a redesigned LeSabre (best-selling U.S. full-size car for eight straight years) and a more powerful Century. Since the first Detroit experimental car of 1899–1900 and the first Flint production car of 1904, more than 35 million Buicks had been built. The 2000 LeSabre was introduced in March 1999 and was now built on [[General Motors|GM's]] [[GM G platform (FWD)|G platform]]; however, GM chose to continue to refer to it as the H platform.<ref name="Frame">{{cite web|last=Frame|first=Phil|title=GM H Cars Move to G Platform |url= http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19950116/ANA/501160730#axzz2TYYYR1jT |work=Automotive News |access-date=17 May 2013 |archive-url= https://archive.today/20130616065939/http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19950116/ANA/501160730%23axzz2TYYYR1jT |archive-date=16 June 2013|url-status=dead|date=16 January 1995}}</ref> The LeSabre was manufactured at GM's [[Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly]] factory in [[Hamtramck, Michigan]] and Lake Orion Assembly, in Lake Orion, Michigan. Some of the changes with the redesign included a new grille that did not open with the hood and slightly smaller exterior dimensions. Despite its somewhat smaller exterior size, it still offered similar interior room and more trunk space than the previous model. 2001 saw Buick's first entry into the crossover market with the introduction of the [[Buick Rendezvous|Rendezvous]] as a 2002 model. In 2003, the [[Buick Centieme]] crossover [[concept car]] commemorated Buick Motor Division's 100th anniversary. Some of the Centieme's exterior design and interior features would later appear on the 2008 [[Buick Enclave|Enclave]] crossover. In 2004, Buick added the [[Buick Rainier|Rainier]] mid-size SUV, and the new [[Buick Terraza|Terraza]] minivan was added a year later.

In the years following, Buick began consolidating its North American lineup and by 2008 had reduced it to just three models: the [[Buick LaCrosse|LaCrosse]]/Allure, the [[Buick Lucerne|Lucerne]], and the new-for-2008 Enclave. The Super name had also returned after a 50-year absence as a new performance trim level on LaCrosse and Lucerne. The brand's total overall sales slipped in the United States, and, with a reputation for primarily appealing to older buyers, rumors circulated throughout this decade that the Buick marque would be discontinued.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/buick-and-the-detroit-zombies/ |title=Buick and the Detroit Zombies |first=Andrew |last=Dederer |work=The Truth About Cars |date=2008-04-25 |access-date=2011-09-23 }}</ref> The profitability of the model lineup and popularity in China ensured Buick's future within General Motors, with the decision being made to discontinue the [[Pontiac (automobile)|Pontiac]] brand instead.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.autoobserver.com/2009/06/good-gm-maybe-not-all-that-good.html |title='Good' GM: Maybe Not All That Good |last=Krebs |first=Michelle |publisher=Edmunds Auto Observer |date=2009-06-29 |access-date=2011-06-03}}</ref>

Since 2005, GM had gradually consolidated Buick with [[GMC (automobile manufacturer)|GMC]] and former [[Pontiac (automobile)|Pontiac]] dealerships to create the current Buick-GMC network. During [[General Motors Chapter 11 reorganization]] and emergence in 2009, the company designated Buick as a "core brand", citing the division's success in China.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://wot.motortrend.com/gm-ceo-henderson-says-buick-is-a-core-brand-uaw-talks-could-reopen-if-need-be-4343.html |title=GM CEO Henderson Says Buick is a Core Brand |last=Evans |first=Scott |website=MotorTrend.com |date=2009-04-02 |access-date=2011-06-03}}</ref> Behind the scenes, GM began to move products originally planned for other brands to Buick.

====2010s====
The 2010s included the return of a classic Buick nameplate, the [[Buick Regal]], and several new model names. The decade also saw the brand's first hatchback since 1987, its first factory convertible since 1991, and its first station wagon since 1996. Buick further expanded its presence in the popular crossover/SUV market in the 2010s.

In January 2009, Buick unveiled the new 2010 LaCrosse sedan, an all-new styling direction that included traditional Buick cues. The market responded positively to the LaCrosse and reviews favorably compared it to luxury models such as the [[Lexus ES]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/112_1004_2010_buick_lacrosse_2010_lexus_es_350_comparison/results.html |title=Comparison: 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS vs 2010 Lexus ES 350 |work=Motor Trend |date=March 2010 |access-date=2011-06-03 |archive-date=2018-08-10 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180810010854/https://www.motortrend.com/cars/buick/lacrosse/2010/2010-buick-lacrosse-2010-lexus-es-350-comparison/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2010, Buick became the fastest-growing automotive brand in America and attracted a younger customer demographic.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://adage.com/article/news/advertising-buick-fastest-growing-car-brand-america/145397/ |title=Fastest Growing Car Brand in America? Buick |publisher=Advertising Age |date=2010-08-16|access-date=2011-06-03}}</ref> A GM company spokesman at the time said that Buick was positioned as a "premium" marque (entry-level luxury) to compete with various [[Acura]], [[Infiniti]], [[Lexus]], and [[Volvo]] models, while [[Cadillac]] was aimed at the "luxury" performance segment which includes brands like [[BMW]] and [[Mercedes-Benz]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.autoblog.com/buy/2010-Buick-LaCrosse/expert-review/ |title= 2010 Buick LaCrosse |website=Autoblog.com|date= 22 August 2024 }}</ref>

An all-new Regal sedan, a smaller model based on the European [[Opel Insignia]], was re-introduced for the 2011 model year after a seven-year absence. For 2012, the all-new [[Buick Verano|Verano]], which was a compact sedan based on the [[Chevrolet Cruze]], joined the lineup. Additionally, the performance-oriented Regal GS officially went on sale and became the first Buick in almost 20 years to be offered with a manual transmission and a turbocharger. Buick also entered the hybrid market with the introduction of [[eAssist]] technology on the 2012 LaCrosse and Regal which helped improve fuel economy ratings by as much as 38% over the regular gas-engine versions. Meanwhile, sales of the Enclave crossover remained strong. In January 2012, the all-new [[Buick Encore|Encore]] mini crossover was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Also in 2012, a turbocharged version of the Verano was introduced and the Enclave was redesigned for the 2013 model year. In 2013, GM confirmed plans for a "hybrid global brand" which includes [[Opel]]/Vauxhall and Buick using more synergies between the brands.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://gmauthority.com/blog/2013/06/opel-buick-to-expand-product-sharing/|title=Opel, Buick To Expand Product Sharing, Become A "Hybrid Global Brand" |date=17 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://media.gm.com/content/media/intl/en/opel/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/intl/en/2013/opel/06-26-Tina-Mueller-New-Chief-Marketing-Officer.html|title=Tina Müller New Chief Marketing Officer and Opel Board Member |access-date=2013-09-28|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130925013435/http://media.gm.com/content/media/intl/en/opel/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/intl/en/2013/opel/06-26-Tina-Mueller-New-Chief-Marketing-Officer.html|archive-date=2013-09-25|url-status=dead}}</ref> LaCrosse and Regal were refreshed for the 2014 model year. In 2015, the all-new [[Opel Cascada|Cascada]] subcompact convertible debuted at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The all-new 2017 LaCrosse was shown at the [[LA Auto Show#2015|2015 Los Angeles Auto Show]] in November 2015, as a 2017 model.<ref>{{cite news |last=Gardner |first=Greg|date= 2015-11-18 |title= Buick's 2017 LaCrosse unveiled in L.A. |url= http://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2015/11/18/dfp-buicks-2017-lacrosse-unveiled-la/75573088/ |newspaper= Detroit Free Press |access-date= 2015-11-20}}</ref> Buick also confirmed that the [[Buick Envision|Envision]] compact crossover would be sold in North America starting summer 2016. The Verano compact sedan was dropped from the Buick lineup in North America in 2017. With GM selling off the Opel/Vauxhall division to [[PSA Group]] in March 2017, Buick is expected to move away from sharing the Opel model/designs upon the completion of the current generation vehicles.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Frost|first1=Lawrence|last2=Taylor|first2=Edward|title=PSA targets Opel turnaround as GM exits Europe |url= https://www.reuters.com/article/us-opel-m-a-psa-idUSKBN16D0J1 |access-date=10 March 2017 |work=Reuters |date=Mar 6, 2017}}</ref>

For 2018, Buick replaced the Regal sedan with an all-new model offering hatchback and station wagon body styles. This new Regal was the first hatchback from Buick for the North American market since the 1987 Skyhawk and the first station wagon since the 1996 Roadmaster. A sub-brand was also added in 2018 to accompany Buick, with the Avenir badge being applied to its top-of-the-line level trims, utilizing the same strategy as GMC's successful Denali sub-brand.<ref>[http://gmauthority.com/blog/2016/09/buick-announces-avenir-sub-brand-to-join-future-products-in-2018/ "Buick Announces Avenir Sub-Brand To Join Future Products In 2018"] from GM Authority (September 1, 2016)</ref> 2019 would be the last year for the Cascada convertible globally and the LaCrosse sedan for the North American market.

====2020s====
[[file:Buick Logo.png|thumb|Buick logo used until 2023]]
New for 2020 was the [[Buick Encore GX|Encore GX]] crossover which slotted in between the existing Encore and Envision. The Regal hatchback and station wagon were discontinued for the North American market in 2020.

In June 2022, Buick Global Chief [[Duncan Aldred]] announced that Buick would transition its entire line-up to electric vehicles by 2030. As part of that plan, all Buick dealers would be given the opportunity to take a [[buyout]] rather than switch to all-electric. Aldred explained the move saying that making the transition to electric would require a considerable investment in upgrading dealer facilities and not all dealers would be willing to make the financial commitment. Aldrerd also pointed out that most Buick dealers also sold other GM products, so accepting the buyout would not necessarily result in a dealership closing.<ref name=wsj>{{cite news |last1=Colias |first1=Mike |title=GM to Offer Franchise Buyouts to U.S. Buick Dealers |url= https://www.wsj.com/articles/gm-to-offer-franchise-buyouts-to-u-s-buick-dealers-11662129950?mod=Searchresults_pos1&page=1 |work=The Wall Street Journal |date=2 September 2022 |access-date=4 September 2022}}</ref> Once Buick's top-selling model in North America, the Encore was discontinued in 2022 as more customers favored the larger Encore GX which was introduced for 2020 and became Buick's new top seller.  In 2023, the [[Buick Envista|Envista]] launched for the 2024 model year.

{{update after|2025|09|text=For the 2025 model year,}} Buick's North American lineup consists of the Envista and Encore GX subcompact crossovers, the Envision compact crossover, and the Enclave mid-size crossover.
