What is the fuel consumption of the Buick Excelle 1.5 automatic transmission?
2 Answers
The average fuel consumption of the Buick Excelle 1.5 automatic transmission model is 8.83 liters per 100 kilometers, with a comprehensive fuel consumption range of 7.58-10.08 liters per 100 kilometers. More information about the Buick Excelle is as follows: 1. The Buick Excelle (Buick-Excelle) is based on General Motors' global platform. Its prototype is the GM Daewoo Lacetti, and its exterior design comes from one of the world's top three automotive design companies, the Italian Pininfarina, which has a 73-year design history. 2. The Excelle sets a new standard for mid-size sedans with its world-class design and integration of global advanced technology. The Excelle's modern appearance features a highly sculpted European style and refined, minimalist aesthetic elements.
I've been driving a Buick Excelle 1.5 automatic for over two years, using it for daily commutes and weekend trips. The fuel consumption is generally acceptable. In city driving with frequent traffic lights and stop-and-go conditions, it averages around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers; on the highway, keeping it steady below 100 km/h can bring it down to under 6 liters. However, seasonal impacts are significant: in summer with the AC on, consumption spikes to 8 liters, and in winter, cold starts and warming up also consume extra fuel. As the car ages, fuel consumption has slightly increased, which I believe is due to engine carbon buildup and insufficient tire pressure. After regular maintenance, such as changing the engine oil or air filter, it improves somewhat. My advice to new owners is to avoid aggressive acceleration and braking, develop a habit of gentle pedal use, and check tire pressure according to the manual—this can save a lot on fuel and maintenance costs. Overall, for an entry-level automatic, this car's fuel consumption is above average—not exceptionally economical, but not too high either.
