Is the Excelle Equipped with a Three-Cylinder Engine?
2 Answers
Excelle is equipped with a three-cylinder engine. An engine is a device that converts the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston movement and outputs power externally. The dimensions of the Excelle are: length 4609mm, width 1798mm, height 1486mm, with a wheelbase of 2640mm and a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters. The Buick Excelle is powered by a 1.3L turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 120 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 230 Newton-meters. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I've been driving a Buick Excelle for several years and am very familiar with its engine. The Excelle indeed has many three-cylinder versions, such as the popular 1.3L Turbo three-cylinder engine from 2018 to 2020, which was designed for fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. With one less cylinder than traditional four-cylinder engines, three-cylinder engines are smaller, lighter, and more fuel-efficient, saving one to two liters of fuel per 100 kilometers in city driving. However, there are drawbacks. When I first drove it, there was slight vibration at low RPMs, feeling like the seat was shaking, but you get used to it. This car is suitable for urban commuting; if you frequently drive on highways, the vibrations become more noticeable. Currently, Buick is still promoting some four-cylinder models, and buyers should choose based on their needs. Three-cylinder engines are part of the modern environmental trend and are fine for daily driving. Just pay attention to checking the belt and oil pressure during maintenance, and don’t neglect regular upkeep.
