Which has higher fuel consumption, the G10 or the GL8?

[ORhett]

The Buick GL8 has higher fuel consumption than the SAIC MAXUS G10. The fuel consumption of the Buick GL8 and the SAIC MAXUS G10 is as follows: 1. Buick GL8 MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption: 8.5L/100km. 2. SAIC MAXUS G10 MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption: 8.1L/100km. The maximum power and maximum torque comparison between the Buick GL8 and the SAIC MAXUS G10 is as follows: 1. Maximum power: Buick GL8 is 191kW, SAIC MAXUS G10 is 110kW. 2. Maximum torque: Buick GL8 is 350N·m, SAIC MAXUS G10 is 350N·m.

I've been driving a GL8 for three years for reception duties, and switched to a G10 last year for long-distance trips. To be honest, fuel consumption really depends on driving technique. On the highway, the GL8 2.0T shows just over 9L/100km, while the G10 diesel version can go as low as 8.3L. But in city traffic jams, the GL8 is actually more fuel-efficient - its start-stop system is smarter than the older G10's. Last week when picking up passengers, I met a driver with the new G20 who complained about the automatic transmission's shift logic pushing fuel consumption up to 12L/100km, making veteran GL8 owners secretly pleased. If you frequently carry seven passengers uphill, the bulky G10 does consume more fuel - a difference of 1.5L isn't surprising.

Just helped the company fleet with procurement comparisons. After reviewing the MIIT data, I found that the GL8 Landoon hybrid averages just over 7L, while the regular version averages 9.8L. The G10 gasoline manual is rated at 10.2L, but the automatic jumps straight to 11.5L. During customer test drives, I particularly noticed that the G10's throttle response is a bit sluggish, making it easy to unconsciously press harder. However, its loading capacity is an advantage. Last Wednesday when transporting equipment, the GL8 couldn't fit everything so we switched to the G10. The moment the fuel consumption gauge hit 14L, I really wanted to cry.

Having worked in car repairs for twenty years, I've seen countless cases. The key difference in fuel consumption between these two models lies in the generational gap of their engines. The current GL8 utilizes GM's Ecotec technology, with cylinder deactivation saving 10% fuel at red lights. Last year, I serviced an old G10 with 160,000 km on it; severe carbon buildup in its 2.4L naturally aspirated engine caused abnormal fuel injection, with actual city driving consuming 13 liters. Buying a used older GL8 is even scarier—the 2008 batch with a 3.0L V6 could burn up to 15 liters with the AC on in summer. Personally, I'd recommend looking at the latest hybrid GL8, which is at least 30% more fuel-efficient than the gasoline G10.

Commuter's Perspective: Daily driving the GL8 to shuttle kids to tutoring sessions, the 9.3L/100km fuel consumption during morning rush hour is truly heartbreaking. My colleague mainly uses the G10 for airport pickups, spending an extra 400 yuan monthly on gas. Out of curiosity, we swapped cars for a week and discovered the G10's extra 200kg weight feels like running with shot puts – lane changes require deeper throttle inputs. Properly inflated tires can claw back 0.8L/100km, and switching to low-rolling-resistance tires last year saved enough for bubble tea. Now when stuck on Shanghai's elevated roads, watching the G10's hazard lights flicker, even the AC compressor's hum sounds like money burning.

From the perspective of product iteration, the GL8 has undergone three generations with significant fuel consumption optimization, with the 2020 model seeing an 18% reduction compared to the 2010 model. The current G10's fuel consumption data remains unchanged for five years, often criticized in car owner groups for its 'dancing fuel gauge.' Last month, a track test was conducted on the top-tier versions: with air conditioning set at 26°C and carrying four people, the GL8 averaged 10.8 liters, while the G10 reached 12.6 liters. However, there was a pleasant surprise on the Qinghai-Gansu loop route, where the G10 diesel version averaged just 7.9 liters for the entire trip, saving two cans of Red Bull money compared to the GL8. If you mainly drive on highways, choosing the diesel G10 is indeed cost-effective.
