2 Answers
The differences between Excelle and Excelle GT are: 1. Different body dimensions: Excelle measures 4468mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2611mm; Excelle GT measures 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1486mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. 2. Different fuel tank capacities: Excelle has a 40-liter fuel tank, while Excelle GT has a 44-liter fuel tank. Both Excelle and Excelle GT feature a MacPherson strut front suspension, electric power steering, a unibody structure, and a compact spare tire.
Back when I worked at the 4S dealership, I often encountered customers torn between these two models. Simply put, they cater to different market segments. The Excelle is like Buick's entry-level representative, with an on-the-road price of just over 80,000 yuan. Its space is at the compact family car level - the trunk can fit about two 24-inch suitcases. The Verano sits one tier higher, with a starting price around 110,000 yuan. It boasts several dozen millimeters more wheelbase, allowing three adults to sit relatively comfortably in the back seat, and its interior materials are noticeably more refined. The powertrains differ significantly too - the Excelle's 1.3L three-cylinder engine prioritizes fuel efficiency, adequate for daily commutes, while the Verano's 1.5L four-cylinder provides much more confidence for highway overtaking. The latest model has also caught up in terms of smart connectivity features. My personal recommendation? If the budget allows, go straight for the Verano - it's simply more comfortable for long-term ownership.
