What is the fuel consumption of the GL6?
2 Answers
The Buick GL6 has only one powertrain configuration, which is the 1.3T+6AT. The official fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers. Based on the fuel consumption data collected from 800 Buick GL8 owners, the fuel consumption range of these 800 GL8 owners is between 7.53 (liters per 100 kilometers) and 9.97 (liters per 100 kilometers), with an average fuel consumption of 8.63 liters per 100 kilometers. Here is more information about this vehicle: 1. The Buick GL6 is an MPV model under the Buick brand, and this model is equipped with a three-cylinder engine across the entire lineup. The dimensions of the Buick GL6 are 4692 mm in length, 1794 mm in width, and 1626 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2796 mm. 2. The Buick GL6 is powered by a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine across the entire lineup, with a maximum power output of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 6AT transmission. 3. The front suspension of the Buick GL6 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
When test driving the Buick GL6, I paid attention to its fuel consumption performance. This model is typically equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, with the official data claiming a combined fuel consumption of around 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers. However, actual driving conditions vary greatly due to urban traffic congestion or highway conditions. I drove it several times, and during peak hours in traffic jams, the fuel consumption soared to 9 liters, but on the highway, it could drop to just over 6 liters. Factors affecting fuel consumption include driving habits, such as sudden acceleration and braking, which can increase fuel usage. It is recommended to drive at a steady speed and use ECO mode for better fuel efficiency. Vehicle weight and tire pressure are also important, and regular maintenance, such as changing the air filter, can help improve efficiency. Overall, as a family MPV, the GL6's fuel consumption is quite average, making it suitable for both long family trips and short urban commutes.
