What is the fuel consumption of the Regal?
3 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Regal ranges from 4.3L to 10.2L. Taking the Regal 2021 GS 28T Elite as an example: the manufacturer of this car is SAIC General Motors Buick, classified as a mid-size car, with a turbocharged intake form, a maximum horsepower of 237ps, a maximum torque of 350nm, a 9-speed automatic transmission, and a body type of a 4-door 5-seater sedan. The car's length, width, and height are 4913mm, 1863mm, and 1462mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2829mm, a top speed of 240 kilometers per hour, front-wheel drive, front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension, and rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
I've been driving this Buick Regal for almost three years now, with a combined fuel consumption ranging between 8.5 to 10 liters per 100km in mixed city and highway driving. The actual figure depends heavily on traffic conditions and driving habits - it can spike up to 12L/100km in heavy traffic, while highway cruising can bring it down to around 7L/100km. I remember when I first got the car, I noticed underinflated tires could increase consumption by about 1L/100km, but after developing a monthly tire pressure check habit, this improved significantly. The Regal's 1.5T engine paired with the 9AT transmission is actually quite intelligent - learning to coast by releasing the throttle early can save considerable fuel. I'd recommend installing a fuel tracking app to record each refueling, which helps accurately monitor real-world consumption.
As a frequent long-distance driver, I find the Regal's highway fuel consumption quite impressive. Maintaining a speed of 120 km/h with AC on gives about 7.3L/100km, while driving on national roads at 60-80 km/h can drop it to 6.8L. However, urban commuting is noticeably thirstier - morning rush hour traffic often pushes consumption beyond 11L/100km. I'd advise against disabling the auto start-stop system, as it saves about 8% fuel during red lights. Also avoid keeping the trunk overloaded - every extra 100kg increases consumption by approximately 0.5L. I've developed a habit of regularly clearing out unnecessary items.
