What is the actual fuel consumption of the 2021 4-cylinder Excelle?
2 Answers
1.3t model consumes 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers, while the 1.5l model consumes 7.4 liters per 100 kilometers. The Excelle is a compact car under the Buick brand, with a wheelbase of 2640mm, and its length, width, and height are 4609mm, 1798mm, and 1464mm respectively. The Excelle is a four-door, five-seater sedan. Driving habits: This is a key factor affecting fuel consumption and the most significant variable. The same car will have different fuel consumption under different road conditions. Whether the air conditioning is on or even when it's turned on can affect fuel consumption. Urban road conditions: In urban areas, driving often involves frequent stops and starts, especially during morning and evening rush hours. In large cities, it's essentially a parking lot, and second- and third-tier cities are becoming increasingly congested. In such situations, try to maintain a steady speed as much as possible. The worst thing you can do is step on the accelerator and then immediately hit the brakes, which not only damages the car but also wastes fuel.
I've been driving the 2021 Buick Excelle 1.5L four-cylinder version for over a year, with a combined fuel consumption of 6-8 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on driving habits. In city traffic, it can go above 8 liters when congested, while on the highway at a steady speed, it's around 6 liters. I mostly commute in the city and find that gentle acceleration and avoiding sudden braking help save fuel. Carrying heavy luggage also increases the load, so regular oil changes and checking tire pressure are important—keeping it around 27 psi improves efficiency. On long highway trips, smooth driving can reduce consumption to 5.5 liters, but using air conditioning or driving uphill increases fuel usage. The engine is durable, and after three years, I haven't encountered any major issues.
