The actual fuel consumption of the 2005 Buick hatchback HRV is 9 liters. The 2013 Buick Excelle is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4515mm, width 1725mm, height 1445mm, wheelbase 2600mm, minimum ground clearance 125mm, and a curb weight of 1210kg. The 2013 Buick Excelle features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a twin-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine producing a maximum horsepower of 113PS, maximum torque of 141Nm, and maximum power of 83kW, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I recently drove a 2005 Buick hatchback HRV as my daily commuter, and the fuel consumption was quite noticeable. In the city with frequent traffic lights and stop-and-go conditions, it averaged around 13 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers, and even higher with the air conditioning on in summer. On the highway, it was smoother, managing 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers without issue. With an older car, the engine and transmission system might not be well-maintained, leading to increased fuel consumption—things like worn spark plugs or a clogged air filter can make it guzzle more gas. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and oil condition; these small steps can make a big difference, saving at least 10% on fuel costs. With an older car like this, I’ve gotten used to driving gently—avoiding sudden braking and accelerating smoothly—which helps lower the numbers a bit, but overall, it’s not fuel-efficient, far from what newer cars offer.
