What is the fuel consumption of the Buick Regal?
2 Answers
There are 7 available models of the 2.0 Buick Regal, which include the 2022 Regal GS Premium, 2022 Regal 652T Intelligent, 2021 Regal GS28T Elite (modified), and 2021 Regal GS28T Premium, all equipped with a 2.0T 237-horsepower L4 engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100 km. The 2022 Regal 552T Intelligent, 2021 Regal 552T Elite, and 2020 Regal 552T Luxury models are equipped with a 1.5T 169-horsepower L4 engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.3L per 100 km. Different models have varying fuel tank capacities, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is as follows: Models equipped with the 2.0T 237-horsepower L4 engine have a fuel tank capacity of 60L, allowing a distance of 60/6.6*100=909 km on a full tank. Models equipped with the 1.5T 169-horsepower L4 engine have a fuel tank capacity of 55L, allowing a distance of 55/6.5*100=846 km on a full tank. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights, can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline for combustion and work. Heavier vehicles consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures mean the engine block is colder, making it harder for injected gasoline to atomize during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion and increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, lower temperatures prompt the engine's computer to use higher RPMs to warm up the vehicle, further increasing fuel consumption.
During my driving experience with the Buick Regal, I observed that its fuel consumption performance is quite realistic, averaging around 8.5 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers overall. For example, in city traffic jams, it can go up to 9 to 11 liters, while on the highway, it stays around 6 to 8 liters when driving smoothly. There are quite a few factors affecting its fuel consumption: better vehicle maintenance (such as timely oil and filter changes) can reduce consumption by about half a liter; driving habits are also crucial—I usually start gently and avoid sudden braking or acceleration, which saves a lot of fuel; road conditions have an even greater impact—fuel consumption is higher in urban areas during peak hours, but much lower in suburban or long-distance highway driving. My own experience is to regularly check tire pressure—if it’s below the recommended value, fuel consumption can increase by about ten percent. Overall, this car is fairly standard among American sedans, slightly more fuel-consuming than some Japanese models, but it scores big on space and comfort.
