Is the Buick Excelle fuel-efficient?

[ODamian]

The Buick Excelle has a fuel consumption of 7.4L/100km. Below is a related introduction to the Excelle: 1. Powertrain: The new Excelle model still offers a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 83kw and a peak torque of 141Nm. The new Excelle also specially provides a 1.3T engine + 48V mild hybrid system, with the engine delivering a maximum power of 120kw. 2. Exterior design: The rear end is designed to be relatively wide, with raised lines presenting a strong sense of power. The upward-slanting design of the trunk lid is more in line with current development trends. The spliced design of the taillights on both sides becomes more eye-catching when lit, and the embedded design of the fog lights at the bottom is very simple.

Buddy, I've driven a Buick Excelle for a while, and the overall fuel consumption is decent but depends on how you use it. I had the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine model, and during rush hour traffic in the city, the fuel consumption could spike to around 9L/100km. However, on the highway, it drops below 7L, which is quite fuel-efficient. It uses some small-displacement technologies like a variable valve timing system to optimize fuel efficiency, but you need to watch your driving habits—if you constantly floor the accelerator or brake hard, you’ll waste fuel. I recommend maintaining a steady speed of 60-80 km/h. In cold weather, the engine takes longer to warm up, which might also increase consumption. Regular maintenance, like changing the air filter, can improve efficiency a bit. Overall, as a family sedan, its fuel consumption is average—better than an SUV but not as efficient as a pure electric car.

We've been using this Buick Excelle as our grocery-getter for over a year now, with average fuel consumption hovering around 8 liters. It's quite suitable for daily expenses. Mainly used for short trips like school runs and supermarket shopping in the city, consumption can reach up to 10 liters when traffic conditions are poor with frequent traffic lights. Fortunately, it drops back to about 7 liters on highways or open suburban roads. I make it a habit to check tire pressure monthly to ensure it's not too low, and replace the air filter immediately when it gets dirty - these low-cost maintenance habits help keep the fuel pump running smoothly. Compared to our old car, the Excelle is significantly more economical than American SUVs like the Equinox, though slightly higher than a Toyota Corolla. Its overall practicality is good, just pay attention to eco-mode tuning when driving frequently.

From the perspective of someone who has researched many cars, the Buick Excelle's fuel consumption isn't the best among compact cars in its class. Taking the 1.3T turbocharged model as an example, real-world city driving tests show about 8.5L/100km, and 7L on highways, which is slightly higher compared to the Honda Civic or Toyota Levin's 6-7L range. However, it makes up for this with significantly better chassis comfort. Technically, the engine is tuned for steady output but has slightly lower starting torque, which can lead to higher fuel consumption. It's recommended to try combining it with ECO driving mode. Personally, based on the data, the Excelle's overall economic efficiency is moderate, but if saving money is the priority, Japanese hybrids should be considered first.
