Is the Buick Envision Really Fuel-Consuming?
2 Answers
The Buick Envision has a fuel consumption level of around 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption of the Buick Envision 1.5T depends on actual driving conditions, and it varies under different driving scenarios. The 20T model is the first to be equipped with the most powerful 1.5T engine in the latest generation of General Motors' global Ecotec engine family. Relevant information about fuel consumption is as follows: 1. Introduction: Fuel consumption generally refers to constant-speed fuel consumption, which is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. 2. Testing Method: The test can be conducted on the road or on a chassis dynamometer, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is then calculated using the 'flow meter method' or 'carbon balance method'.
I think the fuel consumption of the Buick Enclave depends on the specific situation. It's equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine, which delivers strong power but averages around 13L/100km in city driving, dropping to 9L on highways with quick throttle response. Compared to similar SUVs like the Highlander or Tiguan L, the fuel consumption is about the same. Actual fuel usage depends on many factors, including driving habits—sudden acceleration and traffic congestion can increase consumption. Having driven a friend’s Enclave a few times, I feel the fuel economy is decent for frequent highway trips, but in city traffic, the fuel gauge drops noticeably. I recommend regular checks on tire pressure and air filters to slightly improve efficiency. Overall, it’s not the most fuel-thirsty, but if you’re sensitive about consumption, city driving might pinch your wallet a bit.
