What engine does the VELITE6 use?
2 Answers
VELITE6 uses a pure electric motor. The VELITE6 is the first pure electric vehicle launched by Buick. The motor has a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 255 Nm. This vehicle also offers three driving modes: Economy, Normal, and Sport. The dimensions of the VELITE6 are 4650mm in length, 1817mm in width, and 1510mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm and a top speed of 150 km/h. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension, and the tire specification is 215/55R17.
The VELITE6 doesn't have a traditional engine; it's powered by a pure electric system. The core of its powertrain is an electric motor, specifically a permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum power output of around 132 kW, which is equivalent to approximately 180 horsepower. It accelerates quite quickly, taking only about 7.9 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, making it suitable for both city commuting and highway driving. Under standard conditions, its range can reach around 410 km, and if charging is convenient, you can easily go through a week of commuting without worrying about charging. I often take long trips, and in real-world testing, the actual range on a full charge is about 380 km. It can be slightly shorter in winter when using the heater, but planning charging stops in advance solves the issue. Maintenance is particularly hassle-free—without engine-related components like oil or air filters, you save a lot on upkeep costs. On average, it's just a few hundred yuan a year, making it much more economical than a fuel-powered car.
