Buick Regal 1.5T Fuel Consumption?
2 Answers
The actual average fuel consumption of the new Regal 1.5T (20T) model is 9.2L/100km. Introduction to the new Regal 1.5T: 1. Engine: It is equipped with two engines, one is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The maximum power of the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is 125kw, the maximum torque is 252 Nm, the maximum power speed is 5600 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 2000 to 4000 rpm. The maximum power of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is 192kw, the maximum torque is 350 Nm, the maximum power speed is 5400 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 2000 to 5000 rpm. 2. Suspension: The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
I usually drive a Buick Regal 1.5T for my daily commute, mainly in congested urban areas, with fuel consumption typically around 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. On weekends when I take the highway, it drops to just over 7 liters. The car's average display shows around 8.3 liters, which is slightly higher than the official figure of about 7 liters, but that's the reality of driving—more traffic lights and aggressive acceleration will increase fuel consumption. Using the air conditioning in summer is the most noticeable, adding more than half a liter, while using the heater in winter has little effect. When carrying colleagues for outings, fuel consumption increases slightly with three people, but driving alone is a bit more economical. At a steady 120 km/h on the highway, the RPM stabilizes, and fuel efficiency improves noticeably after the turbo kicks in, costing just over 0.4 yuan per kilometer. Paying attention to smooth acceleration and braking less can save some fuel. Developing these habits keeps fuel consumption relatively stable. Overall, for a mid-size sedan, it's fairly average—not too expensive but not exceptionally fuel-efficient either. For urban commuting, around 500 to 600 yuan per month on fuel is sufficient.
