What is the fuel consumption of the Encore 1.4t?
2 Answers
The Buick Encore 1.4t has a fuel consumption of 7.2L per 100 kilometers. Below is relevant information about the Encore: 1. Powertrain: The Encore is equipped with two combinations: a 1.0T SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed DSS intelligent transmission, and a 1.3T SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine paired with a CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission. The maximum power outputs of these two engines are 92kW and 121kW, respectively, both meeting the China VI emission standards. 2. Safety features: The entire lineup comes standard with ESC electronic stability control, ROM rollover sensing system, HSA hill start assist, CBC cornering brake control, TPMS intelligent tire pressure monitoring, and a series of other electronic safety systems. 50% of the models are equipped with intelligent driving assistance systems such as PD pedestrian detection, SBZA side blind zone alert, LKA lane keep assist, FDI following distance indicator, and FCA forward collision alert.
I've been driving the Buick Encore 1.4T for over two years now. As a compact SUV, its fuel efficiency has been quite satisfying for me. For daily city commuting, I've measured it to be around 8.5 to 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Stop-and-go traffic at red lights is the biggest fuel guzzler, but if the traffic flows smoothly, keeping it around 7 liters is comfortable. On highways, it's even more fuel-efficient, dropping to 6.3 to 7 liters, especially when cruising at a steady speed. The turbocharged engine responds quickly and delivers strong acceleration, but fuel consumption spikes when you floor the accelerator, so I've gotten used to gentle acceleration and deceleration. With a 55-liter fuel tank, a full tank can take me around 600 kilometers, which is quite economical. I maintain the tire pressure at the standard value regularly—not only does it save fuel, but it's also safer. Checking it every two weeks is sufficient. On rainy days, fuel consumption increases slightly due to wet and slippery roads, and running the wipers at high speed also has a minor impact on fuel efficiency. Overall, driving habits are key—driving gently can save a significant amount on fuel costs over a year.
