How many cylinders does the old Excelle have?

[DiVictoria]

The old Excelle is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. There are models with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and models with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. More details are as follows: Number of engine cylinders: The number of cylinders indicates the quantity of cylinders in the engine. Common cylinder counts for car engines are 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Engines with a displacement of 1L~1.5L usually have 3 cylinders; 2.0L engines are typically 4-cylinder; 2.5L engines have 5 cylinders; engines around 3L usually have 6 cylinders; around 4L are 8-cylinder; 5.2L engines have 10 cylinders; and engines above 5.5L use 12 cylinders. More cylinders don't necessarily mean better: Having more cylinders in an engine doesn't always indicate superior performance. Excessive cylinders can increase the complexity of the mechanical structure, and manufacturing and repair costs may also rise accordingly.

I've worked on quite a few old Excelle models, mostly equipped with 4-cylinder engines like the classic 1.6L and 1.8L variants. These engines are designed to be simple and practical, providing adequate power for daily driving and handling stop-and-go city traffic smoothly. Fuel consumption is decent too, averaging around 8 liters per 100km on highways. However, over time, the power might feel a bit sluggish, especially during acceleration. I recommend owners stick to regular maintenance, such as changing the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers and cleaning the throttle body. With fewer cylinders, carbon buildup is less likely, making maintenance more affordable. If the engine light comes on, it's usually a minor sensor issue that's not complicated to fix—just visit a small repair shop. Overall, these cars are hassle-free to drive, great for beginners to practice with, and commonly found in the used car market at reasonable prices.

As an owner of an eight-year-old Buick Excelle, my car is equipped with a 4-cylinder 1.8L engine that basically meets family needs. I bought it for its affordability and durability—though it doesn't have many cylinders, the power delivery is smooth, perfect for school runs. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 9L in the city and is more economical on highways. I change the oil and check the spark plugs every six months, and it's been trouble-free. I remember once on a long trip, a friend asked if the cylinder count was sufficient, and I said it handles just fine once you're used to it. The only gripe is the noise during acceleration, but its reliability is top-notch—still going strong after a decade. If considering a used Excelle, I'd recommend checking the cylinder compression; most of these older models are in good condition.

The older generation of Buick Excelle mostly came with 4-cylinder engines, commonly in 1.6L or 1.8L variants. These engines have a simple structure and provide sufficient power for daily use, but lack high-speed burst performance. I've test-driven several models, and they offer comfortable driving with economical fuel consumption. Related parts are inexpensive, and the fewer cylinders contribute to lower failure rates during repairs. If the vehicle is older, it's advisable to check the spark plugs more frequently.
