What is the fuel consumption of the Buick Excelle XT?
2 Answers
The Buick Excelle XT currently has 4 models on sale. Among them, the Excelle-2021-Modified-Exemplar-1.5L Automatic Entry and Automatic Elite models, equipped with a 113-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km. The Excelle-2021-Modified-1.3T-Automatic Light Hybrid Entry and Automatic Light Hybrid Elite models, equipped with a 163-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.3L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity is the same for all Excelle XT models. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 113-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 44L, allowing a distance of 44/5.9*100=746km. Models equipped with a 163-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 44L, allowing a distance of 44/5.3*100=830km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows
I drove a Buick Excelle XT 1.6L manual for over three years. The fuel consumption during rush hour commutes in the city was around 9L, and it could drop to 7L on the highway. Running the AC in summer noticeably increased fuel usage, with the gauge showing up to 12L in heavy traffic. Carrying heavy loads in the trunk or driving on uphill roads would increase consumption by 1-2L, but regular maintenance helped maintain optimal performance. Keeping tire pressure at 2.5bar was more fuel-efficient, while rapid acceleration and hard braking significantly increased fuel consumption. I refueled with 92-octane gasoline twice a month, averaging about six to seven cents per kilometer, which is a moderate level among compact cars. If you frequently drive long distances, the 1.0T version might be more economical.
