Excelle 18T refers to the model equipped with a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine. Below are the specific details about the Excelle 18T: 1. The Excelle is a compact car under the Buick brand. This vehicle comes with two engine options: one is a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine. 2. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine is also a three-cylinder engine. This engine has a maximum power output of 120 kW, a maximum torque of 230 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque range of 1800 to 4400 rpm. 4. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 5. The Excelle's front suspension employs a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension. The multi-link independent suspension ensures tire contact performance and enhances rear-seat comfort.

As someone who has been driving for years, when I see the Buick Excelle 18t, I think it represents the version with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine. The '18' usually refers to a displacement close to 1.8 liters, and the 't' stands for turbocharging. Adding a turbocharger allows the engine to deliver more power with a smaller displacement, like giving the engine a little fan—it accelerates quickly and is fuel-efficient. The Buick Excelle 18t accelerates smoothly in the city and makes overtaking on the highway effortless, with noticeably stronger power compared to naturally aspirated models. When I took it on long trips, the average fuel consumption was around 8 liters per 100 km, which is quite worry-free. This turbo technology is quite mature in the Buick lineup, so I don’t worry about frequent issues. Of course, maintenance costs for larger-displacement engines aren’t exactly low, but overall, it’s an economical and practical choice, especially for friends who enjoy a bit of sporty driving.

I just started driving last year and chose the Buick Excelle 18t mainly for its powerful performance. Simply put, 18t is the code name for a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, which is noticeably stronger than the base model. The car responds quickly when you step on the gas, making it effortless for climbing hills or overtaking. During my test drive, I also noticed the engine sound was smooth, not as noisy as some other models. Additionally, Buick's naming is quite user-friendly—seeing 18t immediately tells you it's not the base version, and it's worth the money. The turbocharger also helps me save on fuel; my daily commute averages around 7 liters per 100 km. As a beginner, I don’t know much about car details, but after driving it for a few months, I’ve found this configuration well-balanced with no issues so far. If you’re just starting out, the 18t is worth considering for both comfort and value for money.

I think the Buick Excelle 18T badge directly corresponds to the engine specifications. The '18' refers to a 1.8-liter displacement, and the 'T' is short for turbo, representing the turbocharging system. The turbo compresses air to improve intake efficiency, allowing the 1.8-liter engine to produce power close to that of a larger displacement engine, such as higher horsepower while being more fuel-efficient. This is very practical for city driving, with quick engine response. Buick widely applies this technology, similar to the naming of other models like 1.5T or 20T. In actual driving, the acceleration is smooth but not aggressive. Personally, I recommend regular maintenance of turbo components to avoid carbon buildup affecting long-term performance.
