Is the Buick Verano Fuel-Efficient?
2 Answers
The Buick Verano is fuel-efficient. Below are its two driving modes: 1. Sport Mode: The vehicle's shifting logic becomes more aggressive. Downshifts occur earlier, and upshifts are delayed, keeping the engine within the peak torque range to reduce power lag. 2. Economy Mode: The ECU controls shift timing and logic, limiting fuel injection. Even with heavy throttle input, acceleration remains gradual rather than abrupt. Additional Features: 1. Design: Based on Buick's latest family design language, it features a winged chrome grille, LED automatic sensing headlights, LED taillights, 17-inch ten-spoke dual-tone alloy wheels, and a fastback roofline. 2. Interior: Embracing a 360-degree wraparound design with dynamic lines and a new cool black color scheme for a youthful sporty vibe. Equipped with a two-panel panoramic sunroof, front multifunction seats, a three-spoke sport steering wheel, dual-cockpit instrument cluster with 4.2-inch HD trip computer, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
I used to drive a Verano, so I have a lot to say about its fuel consumption. Equipped with a 1.5T engine paired with a CVT transmission, it's particularly fuel-efficient on highways, easily achieving just over 5 liters per 100 kilometers. However, in city traffic with frequent stops, it rises to around 8 liters, which is higher than pure electric vehicles but better than many American cars. I've driven a colleague's Corolla, and the Verano is actually quite similar in this regard. For daily use, I recommend avoiding aggressive starts and maintaining a steady speed of 60-80 km/h for optimal fuel efficiency. Here's a little tip: use adaptive cruise control more often, as the system manages the throttle more precisely than human input. If you're considering buying this car, I'd suggest opting for the newer model, which I've heard is even more fuel-efficient after being upgraded with the Avatar engine.
