The real fuel consumption of the new Buick GL8 is approximately 10-15L per 100 kilometers. Relevant information about the Buick GL8 is as follows: Launch: On April 12, 2020, the all-new Buick GL8 Avenir family was launched. As the epitome of Buick's most beautiful design, cutting-edge technology, and supreme quality, the all-new GL8 Avenir family inherits Buick's heritage in MPV product development. It integrates General Motors' global resources and advanced technology to achieve comprehensive breakthroughs and innovations in design, safety, comfort, technology, and power, refreshing the intelligent and sensory experience with all-around evolution. Multiple Models: The all-new Buick GL8 Avenir family offers three models: the four-seat Zunli Edition, the six-seat Xianli Edition, and the seven-seat Qinli Edition. As the flagship model of the GL8 Avenir family, the four-seat Zunli Edition perfectly replicates the design essence of the GL8 Avenir concept car. The six-seat model features independent armrest seats in all three rows, while the new seven-seat model focuses more on family needs, with a "2+2+3" seating layout that supports 6:4 split-folding of the third-row seats to meet more diverse travel scenarios.
I've been driving the new Buick GL8 for a few months, mainly for commuting with family and road trips. During city driving, the actual fuel consumption is around 13-14L/100km, primarily due to frequent traffic jams and air conditioning usage. On a long highway trip, the average dropped to 9-10L/100km, which felt quite fuel-efficient. The car's large size and spacious interior are great, but its weight affects fuel economy. I recommend using eco mode for long-distance driving, maintaining a steady speed of 60-80km/h for optimal fuel efficiency. Regular oil changes and proper tire pressure maintenance also help slightly. Overall, the fuel consumption isn't exceptionally high, and for a family vehicle, practicality is more important. To save money, try to avoid sudden acceleration and braking, which could help keep fuel consumption around 11-12L.
