What is the fuel consumption of the Enclave 3.6?
2 Answers
Taking the 2014 Enclave 3.6L AWD Zhixiang Flagship model as an example, the fuel consumption of this model is 13.1 liters. Its dimensions are 5113 mm in length, 2007 mm in width, and 1842 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3020 mm. The curb weight is 2316 kg, and the body structure is a 5-door, 7-seat SUV. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 215 kW and a maximum torque of 366 Nm. For the suspension, the front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.
I drove a Buick Enclave 3.6 for several years, and this car is quite fuel-thirsty. In city traffic jams, it can reach 18-20 liters/100 km, while on highways it drops to 13-15 liters/100 km. There are many influencing factors, such as when the air conditioning is always on or when overloaded, it's common to see fuel consumption soar to 25 liters. Low tire pressure also increases fuel consumption. My experience is that regular oil changes and air filter replacements can slightly reduce fuel consumption, but overall it remains relatively high, with monthly fuel costs exceeding 1,000 yuan. I would advise new owners to plan their routes carefully before long trips to avoid unnecessary waste.
