Buick GL6 does not have a four-cylinder engine. The Buick GL6 is an MPV model under the Buick brand, and this vehicle is equipped with a three-cylinder engine across all variants. The dimensions of the Buick GL6 are 4692 mm in length, 1794 mm in width, and 1626 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2796 mm. The Buick GL6 is powered by a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The front suspension of the Buick GL6 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.
I've been driving the Buick GL6 for two years now, and it comes with a 1.3T three-cylinder engine. There has never been a four-cylinder version across the entire lineup. When I bought it, the 4S store clearly stated that this was the only powertrain configuration available. In actual driving, the vibration is less noticeable than I expected, but there is a slight tremor in the steering wheel during cold starts. The fuel consumption is quite economical, around 8L/100km in the city. Once when I took it for repairs, the mechanic mentioned that this three-cylinder engine uses balance shaft technology, making it much more stable than older three-cylinder engines. If you're particularly concerned about the number of cylinders, you might want to consider other Buick models. But as a family MPV, the GL6's space utilization is truly impressive, and the second-row independent seats are especially convenient for taking care of kids.
