What is the displacement of the Buick GL8?
3 Answers
This vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, with the engine code LSY, which is the latest 2.0T engine from the General Motors Group. Below is relevant information about the Buick GL8: 1. Body dimensions: The new generation Buick GL8 Avenir family has body dimensions of 5219mm × 1878mm × 1799mm, with a wheelbase of 3088mm. 2. Powertrain: The new generation Buick GL8 family is equipped with General Motors' latest Smart Propulsion technology, featuring a flagship powertrain combination of the eighth-generation Ecotec 2.0T variable cylinder turbocharged engine and a 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent transmission, delivering robust power of 174kW and 350Nm, with a combined fuel consumption of only 7.9L/7.8L per 100 kilometers.
I recall the Buick GL8 typically has a 2.0-liter displacement, especially the current 2023 mainstream models which all use a 2.0T turbocharged engine with an actual displacement around 1998cc. The engine is quite cleverly designed, featuring variable valve technology that automatically adjusts output based on speed. On highways, it provides ample power for effortless overtaking, while in city traffic, fuel consumption remains reasonable, averaging around 9L/100km. For such a large MPV, this displacement strikes a good balance between environmental friendliness and power, making it much smoother to drive compared to older models. Additionally, Buick has optimized the intake system, reducing carbon buildup issues, which makes maintenance a bit more hassle-free for me.
As a current owner of the Buick GL8, I've been driving it for over three years with a 2.0-liter engine, and the driving experience has been exceptional. Whether it's shuttling the kids to school or going on long family trips, the power is always sufficient. The acceleration is smooth with just a light tap on the throttle, and it handles uphill climbs without any trouble. I've calculated the fuel consumption, averaging around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can cover over 600 kilometers, which is quite hassle-free. However, I'd like to remind everyone that small-displacement engines require regular maintenance—changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers helps keep it durable. Also, when choosing a car, I considered the engine size, and now the GL8 has basically standardized this size, avoiding the confusion of multiple models like the older versions.
