2 Answers
The Buick Excelle is equipped with a three-cylinder engine, as both of its available engines are three-cylinder units. The Excelle offers two engine options: 1. A 1.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 92 kW and a peak torque of 170 Nm. 2. A 1.3-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 120 kW and a peak torque of 230 Nm. Additional information: The Excelle is a premium mid-size sedan introduced by SAIC-GM. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4609 mm in length, 1798 mm in width, and 1486 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640 mm.
Yes, the Buick Excelle indeed has models equipped with three-cylinder engines, like the 2019 version I drive. After driving it for over three years, I find it quite practical. When I bought the car, the salesperson mentioned that the three-cylinder engine is fuel-efficient and eco-friendly. In reality, it has saved me a lot on fuel costs—my daily commute in the city averages around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Although there’s a slight engine shake during cold starts, it smooths out once the engine warms up, and it doesn’t affect daily use. Maintenance is straightforward, with minor services costing just a few hundred yuan, and overall reliability is decent. However, I recommend confirming the year and configuration before purchasing, as some models reverted to four-cylinder engines after 2021. For commuters, the three-cylinder Excelle offers great value for money—economical and practical.
