GL6 does not have a four-cylinder engine; the entire lineup is equipped with a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine in the Buick GL6 delivers a maximum power of 120 kW and a peak torque of 230 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT). The GL6 is an MPV model under the Buick brand, with body dimensions of 4692mm in length, 1794mm in width, and 1626mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2796mm. In terms of suspension, the Buick GL6 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
As a GL6 owner, let me share some personal insights about its engine. The GL6 indeed doesn't come with a four-cylinder engine; it's equipped with a standard 1.3L turbocharged three-cylinder engine, which I've driven for quite a while. The power delivery is smooth at start-up, and it's truly fuel-efficient, averaging around 7L per 100km in city driving, making it ideal for daily commutes. However, the three-cylinder design does cause slight vibrations at high speeds, especially during acceleration and idling, where you can feel a bit of bumpiness inside the car. But for someone like me who mainly uses it for family trips, it's not a major issue. The GL6's space layout is well-designed, offering ample room for both cargo and passengers. The engine choice clearly targets fuel economy and environmental policies. Overall, while it lacks a four-cylinder engine, the GL6's three-cylinder performance is quite decent if you're after low cost and low emissions.
