2021 Buick Excelle and the older model differ in terms of configuration, features, and transmission. Differences in configuration: The 2021 model is equipped with a USB interface; the older model does not have a USB interface. Differences in features: The 2021 model adds two features: one is the cruise control function, and the other is the use of a multifunction steering wheel. The interior no longer has beige options; the new 2021 Excelle adopts two interior design schemes: all-black and gray-black. There are no other differences in configuration, and the exterior materials remain unchanged. Differences in transmission: The updated model introduces two new features in its configuration. When purchasing the Excelle, the main considerations should be whether the cruise control function and the multifunction steering wheel are helpful for driving.

I recently purchased the 2021 Buick Excelle, having driven the older model a few times before, and the changes are quite noticeable. The new model features a larger grille and more aggressive headlight design that looks really cool when lit up at night. Inside, the screen has been upgraded to 8 inches, making operations much smoother compared to the laggy old version. In terms of performance, the 2021's 1.5T engine responds quicker, accelerates more smoothly, and is slightly more fuel-efficient—I average about 0.5 liters less per 100km on city-to-highway drives. The seat materials are more comfortable, preventing backaches during long drives. These small improvements make it feel worth every penny, especially when friends compliment its looks. Overall, the upgrades are practical and definitely worth a test drive.

I've been driving an old model Excelle for several years, and now I find the 2021 model much more convenient. The main differences are the faster response of the new infotainment system, simpler operation, and the ability to control music directly with voice commands. The exterior hasn't changed much, but the front fascia is more streamlined, and the heated mirrors eliminate the hassle of manually wiping them in the rain. In terms of performance, fuel consumption has decreased by about 10%, allowing me to drive dozens of kilometers more on a single tank. The trunk space is a bit more spacious, making shopping and loading easier. The price difference isn't significant, and the resale value is still decent. I think these small daily-use improvements are quite practical, saving both fuel and hassle.

As someone who follows fashion trends, I think the design details of the 2021 Excelle have improved significantly. The body lines of the older model leaned towards being more conservative, while the new version features smoother and more dynamic styling, with added LED daytime running lights and stylish alloy wheels that give it a much more vibrant look. The interior now offers more color options, and the use of soft-touch plastics reduces the hard, cheap feel. On the tech side, it comes with a touchscreen and smartphone connectivity, and the navigation system updates in real-time, which is very convenient. The air conditioning system is smarter, automatically adjusting the airflow to save energy. Compared to similarly priced cars, the new model stands out with its more youthful appearance and advanced technology, making it highly attractive and turning heads wherever it goes.

Can I Add Antifreeze by Myself?

You can add car antifreeze by yourself. Yes, as long as the colors match, you can add it directly. Method for adding antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a special focus on the five-way water pipe. The five-way pipe gets its name from the five interfaces that connect various parts. Antifreeze flows through the five-way pipe and is then distributed to different parts of the car to function. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this section, replace the water pipe or re-secure the interface as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir and continue filling it until water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir may have a faint pink tint. Continue adding clean water until the outflowing water is clear. Remember to remove the heater water pipe and drain the water from the heater. Antifreeze composition: The main components of antifreeze are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances.

What to Do When the Car Shows Insufficient Tire Pressure?

Insufficient tire pressure indicates that there is a leak in the car tire that needs to be repaired promptly. Visually inspect whether the tire can still continue to drive. If it can, drive to the nearest tire repair shop for treatment; if the tire pressure is already too low to drive, it is recommended to use an onboard air pump to inflate the tire, then go to the nearest repair shop for servicing; or replace it with the spare tire and then go for repair. The following is an introduction to car tire pressure: 1. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the pressure of the air inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and the damage to the engine will lead to the end of the car's life. Then, the tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car. 2. Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during the car's operation, and it alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Tire pressure monitoring is divided into indirect and direct types. Determining the type of tire pressure monitoring in your car helps to promptly address the issue when the tire pressure monitoring light comes on.

What engine does the Hongqi H9 have?

The engine of the Hongqi H9 is independently developed by China FAW and is a domestically produced engine. The engine model of the Hongqi H9 is CA4GC20TD-31. The 2.0T version engine has a maximum power of 185kW and a maximum torque of 380Nm, while the 3.0T version engine has a maximum power of 208kW and a maximum torque of 400Nm. For daily maintenance of the Hongqi H9 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil level moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
