What car series is the Excelle?
2 Answers
Excelle is an American car series, a compact car under the SAIC-GM joint venture. The vehicle dimensions are 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1486mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, with front-wheel drive configuration. Under the hood, the Buick Excelle is powered by a 1.4T DVVT turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163 HP, peak power of 120 kW, and maximum torque of 230 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I know the Excelle model line quite well. It's a compact sedan series under the Buick brand, produced and sold by General Motors in China. As someone who follows the automotive market closely, I think the Excelle has a strong presence in our Chinese market. It comes in two variants: the Excelle GT and Excelle XT. The GT is a traditional three-box sedan, suitable for family commuting, while the XT is a hatchback model with a more youthful appeal. The design isn't too flashy, but the space is well-utilized - the rear seats can comfortably accommodate three adults, and the trunk is spacious. Fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging around 6L in combined driving conditions, making it ideal for urban commuting. Priced generally between 100,000 to 150,000 yuan, it offers good value for money, typically with a warranty of three years or 100,000 kilometers. In recent years, it's added some tech features like intelligent connectivity and automatic emergency braking to keep up with market trends. I think it's an economical and reliable choice for working-class consumers - it drives without major issues, has low maintenance costs, and stands out among its peers.
