2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Buick Encore 1.4T is 7.2L/100km. Below is a relevant introduction to the Buick Encore 1.4T: 1. Vehicle dimensions: This car is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4278×1781×1648mm and a wheelbase of 2555mm. 2. Powertrain: The car is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 143 horsepower and a maximum torque of 205 Nm. The transmission options include a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. 3. Drivetrain and suspension: The car features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension employing a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
As a former Encore owner, my real-world data from driving the 1.4T model is quite informative. In city traffic jams, I've recorded up to 9.2L/100km, while highway cruising dropped to a minimum of 6.3L/100km. Winter usage with heater and snow tires added about 0.8L/100km. This turbo kicks in early - the key is throttle control. Using ECO mode to anticipate traffic lights saved me nearly 1L/100km compared to hard braking. The 53L tank reliably delivers 500km after refueling when the warning light comes on, though the SUV's high drag coefficient means keeping windows closed on highways improves efficiency. Switching to low-viscosity oil during maintenance and maintaining 2.5 bar tire pressure can further reduce consumption.
