Is the Buick Envision fuel-efficient?
2 Answers
Buick Envision consumes fuel, with an actual fuel consumption of 6.6 to 8.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Taking the 2021 Envision as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4694mm, width 1839mm, height 1686mm, wheelbase of 2750mm, and a curb weight of 1610kg. The 2021 Envision features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 124kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been using the Buick Envision for almost two years now, and the fuel consumption isn't too bad at all. For daily city driving, it generally stays between 10 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers, and on the highway during cruising, it can drop to around 7 or 8 liters, which is quite reassuring. Being an SUV, it's normal for it to be heavier and have higher wind resistance, but the Envision's power delivery is smooth and not too fuel-hungry. The key lies in driving habits—I prefer gradual acceleration, anticipating stops, and minimizing sudden braking to keep fuel consumption stable. Regular maintenance is also crucial, like changing the oil and cleaning carbon deposits periodically to ensure the engine doesn't lag. Using air conditioning in summer does increase fuel consumption a bit, but there's no need to worry too much—the overall cost of ownership is reasonable. If you frequently take long trips, this car's fuel consumption is entirely acceptable.
