Buick Excelle has 4 models currently on sale, with a curb weight ranging from 1270-1285kg. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with dimensions of 4609*1798*1486mm. Among its peers, the Nissan Bluebird 2021 model has a curb weight of 1239kg, while the Kia K3 2021 model weighs 1230kg. In terms of powertrain, the Excelle 2021 offers four variants: Automatic Base Model, Automatic Mild Hybrid Base Model, Automatic Mild Hybrid Elite Model, and Automatic Elite Model. These are equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Other models feature a 1.3L turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. All models adopt a transverse layout with 2-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive configuration. For other features, some or all Excelle 2021 models come with driver/passenger airbags, front/rear curtain airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchors, driving assistance imaging, rear cross-traffic alert, and drive mode selection. Note: The Excelle is a new model launched by Buick, a GM brand, in China. It retains the English name 'Excelle' previously used for the Buick Excelle, with the hatchback version called Excelle-GT and the sedan version Excelle-XT. This is a fully independent R&D model by SAIC-GM.
Recently, while considering buying a car, I paid special attention to the weight of the Buick Excelle, as it directly affects the driving experience and daily fuel consumption. According to the information I found, the standard version of the Buick Excelle weighs approximately between 1,280 kg and 1,360 kg, depending on the configuration. For example, the 1.5-liter engine version is lighter at around 1,280 kg, while models with a sunroof or larger engines are slightly heavier. As an average car owner, I appreciate its solid feel—it’s stable on highways without feeling floaty, though it consumes a bit more fuel compared to lighter cars. When I was car shopping, I also compared it to other vehicles in the same class, like the Toyota Corolla, which is about 100 kg lighter and more fuel-efficient but slightly less comfortable. I recommend paying attention to weight differences during test drives and finding a balance that suits you—don’t just focus on the price.
