Does the Excelle have a particulate filter?

The Excelle does not have a particulate filter. The 2021 Excelle has 8 models, none of which are equipped with a particulate filter, and all meet the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system that captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. How a particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the engine exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. After passing through its densely arranged bag-type filter, the carbon smoke particles are adsorbed on the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the amount of adsorbed particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon smoke particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check whether the Excelle has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Check whether there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter. If there is, that is the particulate filter.

I see that the Buick Excelle gasoline model is equipped with a particulate filter, as all National VI standard vehicles now come with this device. The particulate filter traps particles in the exhaust, such as PM2.5, reducing environmental pollution. When driving the Excelle in prolonged city traffic jams, it may temporarily clog, and the dashboard will display a regeneration warning. Don’t worry—the solution is simple: just drive on the highway for a few dozen kilometers to let the system automatically clean and restore it. I’ve also noticed that maintaining this device properly can save some fuel and be more environmentally friendly. Don’t neglect regular maintenance; periodic checks of the exhaust system can extend its lifespan. The overall design is reliable, and Excelle owners rarely report major issues.

The Buick Excelle does indeed have a particulate filter, which is quite common in modern gasoline vehicles. Driven by the China VI emission standards, the new Excelle models are basically equipped with this device to capture fine particulate matter. The benefits include reduced pollution and bluer skies. I often remind my friends while driving that if they only drive short urban routes, the system can easily get clogged, leading to reduced power. The solution is to set aside time each week for a highway drive to activate regeneration. In daily driving, it's not too much trouble, and fuel consumption remains fairly stable. From an environmental perspective, these devices genuinely help improve air quality and are worth supporting.

The Excelle is equipped with a particulate filter, which is standard design for China VI emission standard models. It captures fine particles in the exhaust system to reduce emissions. The driving experience is smooth, but if you only drive in stop-and-go traffic, the malfunction indicator light may come on. The solution is simple: find an opportunity to drive at high speed to clear carbon deposits. For maintenance, regular servicing is sufficient.
