With only 1.5T giving 211 horsepower, the version of oncovi S is more suitable for selection

As an important drop in the domestic automotive market, Buick has a relatively obvious American gene. The models of this brand can also eat well in China, whether it is in cars, SUVs, or even MPVs, which occupy a certain market share in China. However, many of Buick's models have the problem of high fuel consumption, which is also a common problem that is more obvious in the brand's models.
So the implementation of new energy also gives Buick an opportunity to reverse the weakness, the brand in some of its models gradually used 48V light mix, although 48V light mix power can not give too much fuel saving effect, but can assist the model drive, and optimize the control system, which can also reduce the additional loss of fuel.
Among them, Buick Encore S is also equipped with a 48V light mixing system. The model currently offers two displacements, one is the 1.5T displacement of the 552T series and the other is the 2.0T displacement of the 652T. Both displacement models are equipped with a 48V light hybrid power system, which is standard in the entire series.
However, compared with the multiple versions of the 2.0T displacement, 1.5T only gives two versions to choose from, namely the two-wheel drive elite type with a guide price of 209,900 and the two-wheel drive luxury type with a guide price of 217,900. Although it is a 1.5T displacement, the power given is very impressive, with 211 horsepower and 270 Nm of torque.
These two models are entry-level among the models of the Encore S, and they are also the versions that most consumer groups will consider. After all, its 1.5T displacement can be comparable to the conventional 2.0T displacement, and the data power alone is not small. For this model is basically enough, and the official 100 km/h acceleration performance is 8.4 seconds.
There is no difference between the three major pieces of the two model versions, and the main source of the difference is the configuration level. The 1.5T two-wheel drive elite type belongs to the low-end model, and the 1.5T two-wheel drive luxury type has a slightly richer configuration, more lane departure warning, parallel line assistance, reversing dynamic reminder, main driver's seat electric adjustment, front seat heating, dual-zone temperature control, adaptive far and near light, lane keeping assist system, active safety system.
The standard interior color of the 1.5T two-wheel drive deluxe is khaki brown, and the standard interior color of the 1.5T two-wheel drive elite is gentleman black. In addition, the 1.5T two-wheel drive deluxe type is an automatic air conditioning and leather hybrid seat with front seat height adjustment, while the 1.5T two-wheel drive elite type is manual air conditioning and leather material seats with main driver's seat height adjustment.
There is a price of 8,000 yuan between the two versions, and this configuration difference is actually not small, but these configuration differences are mainly focused on the function. If the requirements for ride comfort and assisted driving configuration are relatively high, you can choose the 1.5T two-wheel drive luxury type, this model version is still more cost-effective.
Daily home is basically enough, but the trunk tailgate of the two model versions is not electric, and there is no standard induction tailgate, but these two functions can be optional, if the personal feeling that the trunk is used more, and the budget in hand is more than enough, you can choose the electric rear tailgate and the induction tailgate, which will be more practical for female users.
But in addition, the threshold of the tail box of the model is a bit high, and this part cannot be selected, because it belongs to the body structure, and if the larger suitcase is accessed, it may not be convenient for female users. Especially when it is taken out, it will be more difficult, but the tail box space is relatively good, and the capacity is sufficient.
summary:
In terms of power, compared with the 2.0T version, the 1.5T displacement model is actually more cost-effective. Although the displacement is not large enough, but the power is high enough, this is actually enough. Everyday travel is nothing more than a city-wide use, occasionally on a whim may want to go on a road trip, the SUV's chassis height is enough to cope with some ditches and bumps, and it does not necessarily have to drive a vehicle to play in the complex terrain of the wild. There will be some reserves in terms of power, light off-road with the ability to get rid of difficulties, and the configuration is also more practical, which can meet the needs of daily travel.
