What is the actual fuel consumption of the GL8?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption range of the Buick GL8 is between 7.8L and 12.2L. Specific fuel consumption depends not only on the model but also on road conditions and driving habits. Below is an introduction to the Buick GL8: 1. The average fuel consumption of the Buick GL8 2017 model - 28T Comfort is 11.09L/100KM, while the Buick GL8 2017 model - 25S Comfort has an average fuel consumption of 10.91L/100KM. 2. The Buick GL8 is a commercial vehicle under SAIC-GM Buick. The all-new Buick GL8 Business Travel version retains the styling of the second-generation Buick GL8, with the front grille updated from the original waterfall design to Buick's latest winged grille, maintaining the original business appeal while adding a dynamic touch to attract a broader customer base. 3. In terms of space, the all-new Buick GL8 Business Travel version inherits the advantages of the second-generation Buick GL8, offering ample seating space. The middle aisle between the second-row seats is sufficiently spacious, making it easy for elderly and children to access the third row. 4. The Buick GL8 Business Travel version is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and paired with GM's latest 6AT automatic transmission.
I've been driving the GL8 Land Business Class for two years, mostly shuttling clients around the city. The fuel consumption spikes when there are many traffic lights, reaching around 13L in summer with AC on during traffic jams. It's quite fuel-efficient on highways though, maintaining about 7.5L at a steady 100 km/h cruise control. The vehicle weighs 1.9 tons, and with a full load of 7 passengers, its fuel consumption is naturally higher than sedans. I've noticed driving habits make a big difference - colleagues who accelerate and brake aggressively burn about 1L more fuel than me in the same model. With current high fuel prices, I've developed habits like anticipating road conditions, gently pressing the accelerator when starting, and coasting before traffic lights. Keeping the combined fuel consumption under 11L is quite satisfactory for me.
