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 real-world consumption, ranging from 5.2-6.3L/100km. In the same class, the Sagitar's NEDC combined fuel consumption is 5.3-5.6L/100km, the Civic's is 5.0-6.4L/100km, the Excelle's is 5.3-5.9L/100km, the Corolla's is 5.3-5.9L/100km, and the Binrui's is 5.9-6.1L/100km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before red lights increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, the engine control unit may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine in cold temperatures, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Verano for several years now. As a 1.5L Buick sedan, its fuel consumption is quite reasonable. In city traffic, it's around 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway, it drops to just over 6 liters. The key is driving habits: I've tried bad habits like sudden acceleration or frequent braking, and the fuel consumption can go up to 10 liters, but driving gently saves a lot. Also, car maintenance is crucial—changing the air filter and regularly checking tire pressure can keep it stable at around 8 liters. Additionally, seasons make a big difference; using air conditioning in summer consumes more fuel, while winter heating is better. Overall, the Verano's fuel consumption isn't high, but you need to drive carefully to save fuel. After a few years of driving, you'll get the hang of it.
