The Buick Excelle 1.5T automatic model uses a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. Automatic manual transmission: It is a transmission device that combines the functions of manual transmission and automatic transmission. This transmission combines the advantages of automatic transmission and manual transmission, minimizing the power loss of the transmission system. AT transmission: The scientific name is hydraulic automatic transmission. The hydraulic automatic transmission achieves automatic shifting through the combination of hydraulic transmission and planetary gears. It is mostly composed of a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift actuator, shift control system, shift operating mechanism, and other devices.

As a car enthusiast, I've been studying the Buick Excelle automatic transmission. It commonly uses GM's 6-speed automatic transmission, with a model similar to 6T40. This design is quite mature, with a torque converter helping to ensure smooth gear shifts. It's paired with either a 1.5L or 1.3T engine, delivering seamless city driving without jerky sensations. I find its fuel efficiency quite good, with a combined fuel consumption of about 6-7L/100km, making it economical and practical. Sharing a platform with the Chevrolet Cruze, it boasts high reliability and occasional software upgrades for optimization. For maintenance, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers at a reasonable cost. In daily use, it enhances comfort, making it ideal for family commuting. Compared to CVTs, it's more durable with fewer minor issues. Overall, GM's system is very stable and easy to drive.

I've been driving the Buick Excelle automatic for three years, and its 6-speed automatic transmission is truly impressive. In city traffic, gear shifts are smooth with no noticeable lag, and the acceleration power delivery is linear. The engine is well-matched, maintaining fuel consumption at around 7L, which is economical and hassle-free. Daily commuting is convenient, and even beginners can quickly get the hang of it. On occasional highway drives, the response is swift, and the gear-shifting logic is smart. Compared to my friend's CVT transmission, this one feels more reliable—I've never encountered any slipping or unusual noises. Simple maintenance tasks like regular oil changes are affordable. As an average user, I'm very satisfied with its smoothness and long-term durability. The automatic transmission eliminates the hassle of manual shifting, enhancing travel efficiency.

Will gas stations shortchange you on fuel?

Gas stations will not shortchange you on fuel. Below are the reasons why gas stations do not shortchange on fuel and some refueling precautions: Reasons why they won't shortchange: There are three layers of safeguards. Every fuel dispenser has the first layer of safeguard built in. The second layer consists of three lead seals between the dispenser's control computer motherboard and the body, the adjustment device of the flow measurement transducer, and between the encoder and the flow measurement transducer. The third layer is that the dispenser has a dedicated POS machine for verification. Refueling precautions: When choosing a gas station, try to opt for large, reputable ones. Avoid refueling during midday when the sun is intense and temperatures are high. When driving in the city, it's usually unnecessary to fill the tank completely. This is because city driving involves frequent stops and starts, and a full tank adds extra load to the engine.

How long does it usually take for a new car to arrive at a 4S store after its launch?

For less popular models, it usually takes about a month from the launch to the availability at 4S stores. For popular models, immediate delivery may require a premium, or it could take one to three months. Imported models typically take around three months as well. Below is a relevant introduction to considerations when purchasing a new car: Verify relevant documents: Such as the invoice, vehicle purchase tax certificate, vehicle certification, chassis imprint, spare key, manual, maintenance manual, and cigarette lighter. Check if the vehicle information matches: Mainly verify if the chassis number and engine number match those on the certification. Also, check the production date of the car and try to avoid selecting a car that has been in stock for more than half a year. Inspect the vehicle's appearance: After cleaning the car, move it to a sunny area to inspect the paint. When checking the paint, position yourself at a 45-degree angle to the area being inspected and observe its appearance under sunlight. Also, check for any damage to the front and rear light mirrors and the rearview mirrors. Pay special attention to the roof, as it is the most overlooked yet most vulnerable area. Given the long period from production to sale, there's a possibility of damage from falling objects.
