The curb weight of the Shanghai GM Buick Excelle is 1270 kilograms. The dimensions of the 2021 Excelle 1.3T model are 4609*1798*1486mm, while the 2021 Excelle 1.5L model measures 4609*1798*1464mm with a wheelbase of 2640mm. Below are the relevant details: The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan launched by Buick. Compared to the previous generation, this model has not undergone significant changes in body size, but there have been some modifications to the exterior details. In terms of the powertrain, the new Excelle is equipped with GM's 1.3L turbocharged and 1.5L naturally aspirated engines, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. From the rear view, the car adopts a completely new design. The taillights appear quite simple and have been treated with a smoked effect, providing high visibility when illuminated at night.

I remember the last time I drove the Excelle, I was quite curious about its weight. Looking it up, I found the curb weight is around 1,390 to 1,450 kilograms, depending on the configuration and model year. As an experienced driver, I think this weight makes it quite stable on the road—it doesn’t feel floaty at high speeds, and the suspension system handles well. The extra weight is beneficial for safety, contributing to high crash test scores, though it does slightly increase fuel consumption. Overall, urban driving fuel consumption is around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. My advice is to test-drive different models when buying a car—the weight variation isn’t significant and won’t affect daily commuting. The key is to regularly maintain the tires and braking system to ensure safety.

Just bought an Excelle, and I specifically researched its weight while playing around with it—it averages around 1400 kg. For young people like me, the weight doesn’t affect the acceleration feel; it still starts smoothly and feels nimble in the city. The heavier body provides better grip during turns, reducing the risk of skidding. Personally, I think it has great modification potential—you can add lightweight parts to optimize performance, but be cautious about increased fuel consumption after adding extra weight. I recommend keeping an eye on a fuel monitoring app for daily driving. A lighter car around 1300 kg might be more agile, but the Excelle strikes a good balance.

As someone who frequently drives long distances, the Excelle weighs around 1,400 kg, which isn't exactly light, so maintenance requires considering slightly higher fuel consumption. On average, it consumes about 0.5 liters more per 100 kilometers. However, the car is overall stable and reliable. During regular maintenance, I always check weight-related components such as the suspension and brake discs to prevent premature wear. The moderate weight is fine for city commuting, and parking is convenient. While the fuel economy is slightly worse, the high reliability makes it worry-free for long-term driving.

Are Car Batteries Lead-Acid or Lithium Batteries?

Car batteries are lead-acid batteries. Additional information: 1. Battery: The battery is an essential part of a car and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Since lead-calcium alloy is used for the grid frame in these batteries, the amount of water decomposition during charging is reduced, and water evaporation is also lower. Additionally, the sealed structure of the casing minimizes the release of sulfuric acid gas. Compared to traditional batteries, they offer advantages such as not requiring any liquid addition, easy connection to terminal posts, and long power storage duration. 2. Lithium Batteries: Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries have weaker performance in low temperatures and under high current, which is absolutely unfavorable for starting power. Lead-acid batteries perform better in harsh environments, whereas lithium batteries struggle in low-temperature regions. Besides low temperatures, exposure to extreme heat in summer, with engine compartment temperatures reaching 60-70 degrees Celsius, can easily render lithium batteries unusable. In terms of high current performance, the instantaneous current during car startup mostly exceeds 200A, and the performance of lithium batteries rapidly declines under high discharge rates.

How to Distinguish Between Pure Electric and Hybrid Vehicles by Green License Plates?

Green license plates starting with the letter D indicate pure electric vehicles, while those starting with F denote hybrid vehicles. Below is an introduction to new energy vehicles: 1. Hybrid Vehicles: Equipped with batteries that can conveniently recover kinetic energy during downhill driving. In urban areas, the internal combustion engine can be shut down, allowing the vehicle to be driven solely by the battery, achieving 'zero' emissions. 2. Pure Electric Vehicles: Technologically simpler and more mature, they can be charged wherever there is an electricity supply. 3. Fuel Cell Vehicles: They offer zero or near-zero emissions, reduce water pollution caused by oil leaks, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and operate smoothly and quietly.

When was the annual inspection authorization letter abolished?

Since September 1, 2018, the annual inspection authorization letter has been abolished. According to the 20 traffic management (delegation, regulation, and service) reform measures issued by the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China, small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses can undergo cross-provincial inspections. Applicants can directly inspect their vehicles and obtain inspection qualification marks in provinces other than the vehicle registration location without going through the authorization inspection procedure. Here is more information about the new measures of the 'delegation, regulation, and service' reform: 1. The new measures of the 'delegation, regulation, and service' reform will be implemented nationwide on September 1, first introducing 8 simplified and fast reform measures such as 'reduction of application materials,' '18 types of services handled with one certificate,' 'one-window service,' and 'self-service fast handling.' 2. The new measures of the 'delegation, regulation, and service' reform include: reduction of four types of application materials, 18 types of services handled with one certificate, general services handled through one window, personalized services handled through self-service, online handling of traffic management services, online sharing of government information, online safety education, online handling of traffic accidents, social service outlets handling services, postal service outlets handling services, extending rural traffic management services, promoting quick handling and compensation of traffic accidents, implementing nationwide vehicle 'inspection,' optimizing vehicle inspection procedures, facilitating vehicle transfer across regions, facilitating the application for driver's licenses in different provinces within the country, improving supervision systems and mechanisms, strengthening smart supervision construction, strengthening in-process and post-event supervision, and strengthening information system security.

How Far Can a Car Go After the Fuel Gauge Light Comes On?

Generally, a car can still run about 40 kilometers after the fuel gauge light comes on, but the actual distance may vary depending on the driver's habits, the car's displacement, and the road conditions. 1. Normally, when the fuel warning light comes on, there are at least 8 liters of gasoline left in the tank. The larger the displacement, the more remaining fuel there will be. 2. If you are driving on winding mountain roads or in congested traffic, the car can usually run about 30 kilometers. Here are some handling methods after the fuel warning light comes on: 1. Control the speed: According to tests on different vehicles, models, and displacements, the economical speed for most cars is between 70 to 90 km/h. Driving above this speed consumes more fuel, so after the fuel gauge light comes on, keep the speed below 100 km/h. If on a highway, pay attention to the minimum speed limit and avoid driving below it, as it can be very dangerous. 2. Close windows and turn off electrical devices: Try to turn off electrical devices that affect fuel consumption, such as air conditioning, audio systems, and navigation. 3. Reduce braking: Shift gears properly, press the accelerator gently, and anticipate the surrounding traffic and road conditions to minimize the frequency of braking.
