The fuel consumption of the new Regal ranges from 4.3L to 10.2L. Below is an introduction to the new Regal: 1. Introduction: The new Regal is a domestic car launched by Shanghai GM, serving as a key component of Shanghai GM Buick's dual-brand strategy. It has a body weight of 1570 kg and adopts front-wheel drive. 2. Significance: Marked by the rise of private cars, the Chinese automotive market is gradually maturing, with significant transformations in market structure and consumption concepts. 3. Culture: Integrating global leading technology and service resources, the new Regal is built on a global platform with European and American technology to create a strong product that leads the segment market. Through innovation and practical efforts, it has become a standard-setter for products and services in the Chinese automotive industry.

I've been driving the new Regal for almost a year now, the 1.5T version. I mostly commute in the city, with an average fuel consumption around 10L. During peak traffic jams, it can spike to 12L, while on highways, maintaining a steady speed can bring it down to 7.5L. The car's power is decent, but the city fuel consumption is a bit of a burden, with refueling frequency higher than expected. I usually use 92-octane gasoline, and every time I check the displayed fuel consumption, it reminds me not to stomp on the gas pedal too hard, since a heavy foot burns more fuel. Before buying, I checked the official data claiming a combined 8.5L, but actual driving varies by person, especially in city driving which consumes more. It's recommended to install a tire pressure monitor to maintain proper values and save some fuel. Overall, it's about standard for a mid-size sedan.

The fuel consumption of the new Regal depends on the configuration. The 1.5T engine paired with a 9-speed transmission has a combined fuel consumption of about 8-9L, with actual tests showing around 9L with minor fluctuations. The 2.0T version offers stronger performance but consumes more fuel, averaging around 10L, dropping by 1-2L on highways. Several factors affect fuel consumption, such as the heavier weight providing stability but increasing fuel use, and higher AC settings consuming more energy. It's recommended to regularly check the engine oil and filters to avoid carbon buildup increasing resistance. Driving habits are crucial—gentle starts and using cruise control can optimize fuel efficiency to the lowest point. I usually drive steadily and can keep it under 9L, which feels worth it.

The new Regal's combined fuel consumption is approximately 9L per 100km, possibly 11L in the city and a bit over 7L on the highway. I think these figures are decent, not particularly impressive but normal. When driving it, I try to press the accelerator lightly and avoid sudden braking, and shifting to neutral at red lights can save some fuel; adjust the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature without setting it too high, and choose routes to avoid congestion. Maintaining standard tire pressure and using high-quality fuel to improve efficiency can reduce fuel consumption to around 8L. The key is to habitually monitor the fuel consumption gauge and make timely adjustments.

After driving the new Regal for a few months commuting to work, the urban fuel consumption fluctuates around 11L, and it gets even higher in traffic jams; on weekends, it drops to about 7.5L on the highway, which feels much better. The AC is always on but doesn’t seem to have much impact, though the preheating in winter consumes a bit more fuel. I’m not entirely satisfied with the slightly high urban fuel consumption, but the good power response makes up for it a bit. Before each refuel, I glance at the trip computer, and developing a smooth driving style has saved me quite a bit of money. I recommend beginners practice steady throttle control to avoid unnecessary acceleration and fuel waste.

Before the car, I compared the fuel consumption of the new Regal. The sales advertisement claimed a combined 8-9L, while actual owner feedback reported 10L in the city and 7L on the highway. It's slightly higher than the comparable Malibu but offers much better handling. I had a good test drive experience and accepted the fuel consumption as a trade-off. When driving it, I focus on fuel-saving techniques like slow starts, stops, and using cruise control for better efficiency. The long-term fuel consumption stabilizes around 9.5L, which is not a big issue, and adding energy-saving accessories can further optimize it. Overall, it's a reasonable investment.
