The fuel consumption of the Buick Excelle 1.5T automatic transmission is 7-9L per 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption of a vehicle mainly depends on the driving habits of the driver and the quality of the driving conditions. As long as the vehicle is used normally and maintained on schedule, it should perform well. If the fuel consumption is too high, it may be necessary to clean the carbon deposits from the engine. Below are the factors related to vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption and displacement: Fuel consumption is closely related to displacement, but this relationship is not absolute. A larger cylinder volume (displacement) can accommodate more combustible mixture (air-fuel), so under otherwise identical conditions, an engine with a larger cylinder volume (displacement) will naturally consume more fuel. 2. Fuel consumption and RPM: During normal driving, the RPM range is usually between 1,100 and 3,000 RPM. The maximum RPM of a typical family car does not exceed around 6,000 RPM. In racing conditions, maintaining RPM at twice the limit of a family car (over 10,000 RPM) will naturally result in very high fuel consumption. 3. Fuel consumption and vehicle modifications: Widening and enlarging tires increases the friction of the tires, which is equivalent to increasing the load on the car and directly increases fuel consumption. Additionally, some car owners install spoilers and body kits, which undoubtedly increase the car's aerodynamic drag. At low speeds, spoilers have no effect and only add driving resistance, increasing the overall load on the vehicle, which inevitably leads to higher fuel consumption.

I've been driving the Buick Excelle 2021 1.5L automatic version for over a year. The official combined fuel consumption is around 6.5 L/100km, but it fluctuates significantly in real-world driving. During city commuting in traffic jams, it can reach 7.5-8.5 liters, while highway driving on weekends easily stays between 5.5-6 liters. I've tested that using air conditioning adds about 1 liter, and low tire pressure also increases fuel consumption. Comparatively, Japanese counterparts like the Toyota Corolla might be 0.5 liters lower, but this car offers quicker power response and more spacious interiors, making the fuel consumption acceptable for me. Overall, the daily average is 6.8 liters per 100km. With a 52-liter fuel tank, a full tank can cover over 700 km, which is quite practical. The key is that maintaining steady driving habits can optimize fuel efficiency.

As a daily commuter, my 2021 Buick Excelle 1.5L automatic averages around 6.7 L/100km fuel consumption. In city traffic during rush hour, it can spike to 8L, but drops below 6L on highways or national roads. A full tank costs about 330 RMB and easily covers 500+ km. A friend with the same model reports similar mileage, though frequent AC use and hard braking adds about 1L. Compared to last year's older version, the 2021 model's engine upgrades improved fuel efficiency slightly. Considering affordable maintenance, good sound insulation, and overall practicality, the marginally higher consumption isn't a dealbreaker—driving smoothly compensates well.

Fuel consumption largely depends on your driving habits. The official combined fuel economy for this 2021 Buick Excelle 1.5L automatic is 6.5L/100km, but real-world figures typically fluctuate between 6-8L. If you frequently accelerate aggressively or drive in congested urban areas, consumption can quickly exceed 7L/100km. Conversely, gentle and steady driving can bring highway consumption below 6L. Running the air conditioning at full blast adds about 1L, while winter/snowy conditions increase consumption further. Maintaining proper tire pressure and regular oil changes help control fuel usage. Overall, it delivers average efficiency - neither the most frugal nor wasteful, with driving style being the decisive factor.

How to Determine Running a Red Light at an Intersection Without a Stop Line?

Evidence of running a red light without a stop line is captured by electronic surveillance. The electronic eye takes three photos as the basis for determining a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered running a red light. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just flashes, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed because you might not be able to stop in time and cross the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.

What does it mean to slow down, stop, and contact after-sales service?

This situation indicates there may be an issue with the engine or system, and you should contact the manufacturer for maintenance and inspection. Driving precautions are as follows: 1. Note 1: The stronger the high beams at night, the less safe the driving. 2. Note 2: Habitually pressing the clutch is not a way to reduce trouble. 3. Note 3: After parking on uneven ground, not only should you engage the handbrake but also leave the car in gear. 4. Note 4: On one-way roads with two lanes, driving on the dotted line is the least safe. Parking precautions are as follows: 1. Note 1: Park in a shady place. 2. Note 2: Face the rear of the car toward the sunlight. 3. Note 3: There are considerations when parking side by side. 4. Note 4: Wash the car promptly if parking before rain.

What is the difference between DCT and CVT?

CVT is a continuously variable transmission, while DCT is a dual-clutch transmission. One is economical, and the other is for racing. DCT is a stepped transmission, specifically a dual-clutch transmission, designed to reduce gear shifting shocks. Compared to DCT, CVT is more mature, but its transmission method limits the maximum torque capacity, making it mostly used in small-displacement vehicles. Below are the relevant introductions: 1. Advantages of CVT transmission: Smooth and economical. Nowadays, car owners prioritize a comfortable driving environment, and CVT is undoubtedly the best choice. Due to its continuously variable nature, gear shifts are virtually imperceptible, making its driving smoothness unparalleled among transmissions! With lower manufacturing costs, vehicle prices and maintenance are slightly cheaper than AT transmissions, and it also has a slight advantage in fuel consumption compared to AT transmissions. 2. Advantages of DCT dual-clutch transmission: The main advantage of DCT transmission is its fast gear shifting. The dual-clutch structure ensures that while one gear is engaged, the next is already prepared. This is why many performance cars use DCT transmissions. Additionally, DCT offers high transmission efficiency, direct power delivery, energy savings, and moderate costs—advantages that AT transmissions cannot match. As a result, many automakers are now researching DCT transmissions.

What maintenance is required for a car at 35,000 kilometers?

Maintenance items for a car at 35,000 kilometers include: engine oil (lubricant)/oil filter replacement, air filter and cabin air filter replacement, fuel filter replacement, complete brake fluid replacement, transmission fluid replacement, battery check, and tire inspection. For standard models, these items must be replaced every 5,000 kilometers or six months. If full synthetic oil is used, the interval can be extended up to 8,000 kilometers. Below are the details of car maintenance: 1. Exterior inspection: Before driving, check the doors, hood, trunk, and glass condition. Inspect the body for damage, tilting, or any signs of oil or coolant leaks. 2. Engine and fluids: Check the fastening of engine components and inspect for oil or coolant leaks at joints. Adjust belt tension and inspect the securing of hoses and wiring. Top up engine oil, coolant, and battery electrolyte as needed. 3. Tires: Inspect tire wear and clean the trunk. Replace tires when they approach the wear indicators. Check for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, or other damage. 4. Cleaning and lubrication: Clean and lubricate the hinges of the hood, doors, and trunk. Antifreeze typically lasts two years and should be replaced during maintenance, along with a thorough cooling system flush. Due to the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, it should be replaced every two years.
