The official fuel consumption of the Buick Enclave 3.6 is 13.1 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are the relevant details: 1. Vehicle Weight: The Buick Enclave 3.6 is a mid-to-large-sized SUV with body dimensions of 5113*2007*1842mm. The curb weight of the two-wheel-drive model is 2203 kg, while the four-wheel-drive model weighs 2316 kg. 2. Powertrain: The Buick Enclave is equipped with a 3.6L 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 292 horsepower, paired with an imported 6AT transmission. Its combined cycle fuel consumption is 12.0 liters per 100 kilometers, with 10.7 liters per 100 kilometers in favorable suburban conditions and 14.7 liters per 100 kilometers in congested urban conditions.
As a long-time owner of a Buick Enclave 3.6, I have the most say when it comes to fuel consumption. In daily city driving, it consumes about 16-17 liters per 100 kilometers when stuck in traffic, and it's even more of a headache during peak hours. On the highway, it's more fuel-efficient, dropping to around 10 liters. On average, it's about 14 liters combined. The engine is powerful but thirsty for fuel, so I often keep an eye on the fuel gauge—it spikes easily if I'm not careful. Running the AC in summer or the heater in winter adds an extra liter normally. A reminder to everyone: low tire pressure increases resistance and fuel consumption, so I check mine monthly. Fuel quality also makes a difference; trying 98-octane gas might slightly improve it. Overall, though it's fuel-hungry, the spacious interior makes it convenient for carrying kids, so I just bear with it. For long-term use, regular maintenance is key—changing the engine oil and air filter can save a bit.
