What is the fuel tank capacity of the Buick Excelle GT in liters?
3 Answers
The 2019 Excelle GT 18T Automatic Internet Flagship Model (China VI) has a fuel tank capacity of 44L. It is equipped with a 1.3L turbocharged engine and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission (AT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is MacPherson strut type, while the rear suspension is multi-link independent suspension. In the same vehicle class, the 2020 Orlando Light Hybrid 530T Automatic Joy Edition (5-seater) has a fuel tank capacity of 45L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automakers is measured from the tank bottom to the safety level, with additional space remaining between the safety level and the tank opening. This space ensures safe expansion of fuel when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel level; when near F, it shows sufficient fuel.
I've been driving a Buick GL6 for several years, and its 45-liter fuel tank capacity is quite considerate for daily use. During city commuting, the fuel consumption is about 7-8L/100km, and a full tank can cover over 600 kilometers, meaning I only need to refuel once a week at most, saving both time and effort. On weekends when driving long distances to neighboring cities, a one-way trip of 300 kilometers doesn’t require stopping for gas, and my kids in the back seat don’t have to worry about frequent stops. When refueling, I usually check gas prices via an app, and discounts from PetroChina or Shell can save me dozens of yuan. For maintenance, regularly checking the fuel tank cap’s seal is important to prevent dust from affecting fuel efficiency. Overall, the 45-liter design makes life more convenient, balancing practicality and economy.
As a car enthusiast, the Buick GL6's 45-liter fuel tank capacity is a balanced choice among similar models. The 1.5T engine typically consumes around 7L/100km, giving a theoretical range of about 640 kilometers on a full tank, though actual driving may yield slightly less, especially with stop-and-go city traffic which increases fuel consumption. I particularly noted that the plastic fuel tank material offers higher safety, being less prone to rust. When refueling, avoid filling the tank completely to leave room for expansion, as overfilling can lead to wasteful spillage or even hazards. Compared to my family's SUV, the GL6 as an MPV has a smaller but sufficient fuel tank, especially for long trips without frequent stops. It's advisable to check the fuel system during maintenance to ensure everything runs smoothly, saving money and providing peace of mind.
