Let's take a look at the sections and rules we have chosen for this fuel consumption test. After the two cars are filled with fuel, they start at the same time, first of all, the urban road is driven, the traffic flow of the North Fourth Ring Road is larger, and then turn into the highway, cruise at a speed of 100 km / h to the exit of the Changping District Expressway in Beijing, enter the 110 National Highway, and take the direction of the Ming Tombs through the uphill section of Panshan Mountain to enter the vicinity of the Huyu Natural Scenic Area. After a short repair, the same road returns to the gas station at the time of departure, and refuels again until the fuel consumption is calculated after jumping the gun, a total distance of about 120-130 kilometers.
Our test fuel consumption is very simple, the two cars in the same gas station respectively add fuel to the natural jump gun, the odometer cleared zero, at this moment the two models have entered a relatively friendly and fair test conditions, and then normal driving at the same time to reach the end gas station, again the two vehicles refueled to the natural jump gun, comprehensive comparison of the amount of fuel filled and the comprehensive fuel consumption displayed by the vehicle instrumentation of the two indicators.
Since the Buick GL8 needs to be filled with No. 95 gasoline on a daily basis, we filled the GL8 with No. 95 gasoline and the range showed 590 kilometers.
Next, we cleared the single mileage counter of both vehicles and set off.
On the city roads, we experienced minor congestion and smooth sections, respectively, and the two models also alternated back and forth to ensure the fairness of the fuel consumption test. During the congestion phase, we normally turn on the start-stop function of the vehicle to save fuel, while ensuring that the driver of the same weight is guaranteed in the car, and the air conditioner is adjusted to 23 degrees.
After getting off the highway, we came to a rugged mountain road, climbing and continuous detours are not very friendly for MPV models with long wheelbase, and frequent refueling brakes are not only a test of the engine and brake system, but also a challenge to ride comfort.
Buick GL8 has more years of experience in the field of MPV, so its driving experience is also good, after adding 48V light hybrid motor, the acceleration of the vehicle is also relatively smooth, but its actual fuel saving rate is very limited, we can see from the comparison of the measured fuel consumption data below. The suspension system can filter excess vibration and bumps, in the case of high-speed cornering, the suspension system gives the body lateral support slightly insufficient, it seems that the GL8 torsion beam type non-independent suspension, compared to the iMAX8 multi-link independent suspension is still inferior.
After more than 100 kilometers of travel, the two models arrived at the gas station at the same time to refuel, first of all, let's take a look at how the comprehensive fuel consumption performance shown by the instruments of the two cars.
The GL8's fuel consumption test range shows that it has traveled 109.9 km and has an average fuel consumption of 7.5 liters/100 km.
The actual fuel consumption of the Buick GL8 is 7.92 liters, combined with the mileage of the instrument in the car 109.9 km, in this fuel consumption test, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Buick GL8 is 7.21L/100 km. Multiply the price of No. 95 gasoline per liter of 8.04 yuan on the day, and spend a total of 63.67 yuan.
