What is the fuel consumption of the Excelle 1.3t?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Excelle 1.3t is around 8L per 100 kilometers. During actual driving, due to external factors such as driving habits and road conditions, the actual fuel consumption often differs from the theoretical value indicated. Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Bumpy roads consume more fuel: If the road is congested or uneven, and the vehicle is driven in low gear for a long time, it will inevitably increase fuel consumption; Using the trunk as a storage increases fuel consumption: Using the trunk as a storage and stuffing all kinds of items, whether useful or not, increases the vehicle's weight. However, it is important to note that the relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional. For every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption will also decrease by a corresponding percentage.
I used to drive a Buick Excelle 1.3T, and I found its fuel consumption to be moderate. Under normal city driving conditions, the average fuel consumption was around 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway, it could drop to about 6 liters. The official combined fuel consumption data is 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers, but actual consumption can be affected by road conditions—like heavy traffic during peak hours, which can cause fuel consumption to spike, and using the air conditioning also consumes more fuel. I recommend avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking, maintaining a steady speed, and keeping tire pressure at the proper level to save fuel. Over the long term, monthly fuel costs were around 500 to 600 yuan, which isn’t too high. During maintenance, remember to check the engine; a dirty air filter can increase fuel consumption, and regular cleaning can optimize performance. Overall, this car strikes a good balance between power and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for daily commuting.
