What is the fuel consumption of the Verano?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Verano is 5.2-6.3L/100km. The currently available Verano models include the 2022 Pro GS Jifeng Edition, 533T Lequ Edition, 532T Lexing Edition, 533T Lexiang Edition, and GS Zhuifeng Edition, totaling five variants. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is slightly lower than the actual fuel consumption, ranging from 5.2-6.3L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, the Sagitar has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 5.3-5.6L/100km, the Civic ranges from 5.0-6.4L/100km, the Excelle is 5.3-5.9L/100km, the Corolla is 5.3-5.9L/100km, and the Binrui is 5.9-6.1L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.
I drove a Buick Verano for over two years, and it's quite suitable as a family car. The fuel consumption ranges from about 7 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits. In city traffic during commutes with congestion, it can rise to around 8.5 liters, while cruising on the highway drops it to 6 liters. To save fuel, I need to avoid frequently stomping on the accelerator or slamming on the brakes—maintaining a steady speed is most economical. Regular maintenance is also crucial; changing the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers and keeping the air filter clean can reduce engine fuel consumption. Underinflated tires can increase fuel usage slightly, so I check the tire pressure monthly to keep it at the standard value. Overall, the Verano is fuel-efficient, making it a great primary family car—even for long trips, the fuel costs aren't a concern, which is perfect for family users like me with kids.
