The fuel economy gauge only being 1mpg optimistic is actually quite good. They can be a lot more inaccurate than that. 33.6 MPG is quite good for mixed driving in a CUV.
Respectfully, the city driving & stop & go traffic look very light compared to something I would experience in Los Angeles Testing was also done in a relatively flat area which doesn't strain the engine much. A longer distance may also yield more accurate numbers. That said, thank you for running this test as I am sure it is quite accurate nonetheless.
The 3 cylinder is a deal breaker for me...quite impressed with everything else. Remember, when all the bells and whistles are added the price is a whole other category. About $38k when all said and done!
Will you guys be regularly doing mpg tests on all your vehicles tested now? Daily Motor is the only other channel I know of that does an mpg test on all the vehicles they review. Their test is a bit different though so it would be great to compare theirs with yours.
I really like this is only fwd only I miss coupes and sedans but for a nice daily I am really considering this vehicle I wanna see how it does being on the market for a year before I buy.

That’s a nice looking vehicle but in my opinion it has 2 issues. First is the inability to get 4 wheel drive like it’s Chevy twin and the next concern for me is the longevity of the turbo charged 3 cylinder. If you don’t care about it having 2 wheel drive then I would lease it then dump it in 3 years that way the engine concern won’t be an issue. If your purchasing the car as a keeper I’m not totally confident it will see 100k miles, Chevy is already having issues with their 3 cylinder, great review guys.
let me say also a great review!! Love the look of this car but I have to agree….the awd is not the biggest concern for me. It is that teenie weenie engine. It is a wait and see thing for me. I will be interested in seeing a long term review when that engine has 60-80 thousand miles on it….especially using an old fashion timing belt?!? I definitely would not buy one used. If you plan on leasing or just keeping it up to around 100,000 miles, its life will probably be over by then. It’s like GM is building this car and the Trax not to last long. Time will tell but I do like the car !!!! Lastly when the price is 29 or 30 grand….buy a honda, Toyota, or Mazda !!!
In Texas with our "80" mph speed "limits", that 33mpg would be impossible to match lmao. But cool to see that it can do better than its claimed ratings at those walking paces 👍
I would 100% buy an awd hybrid version of this.
Unfortunately, this vehicle is on a fwd platform. No AWD at least for this generation.
All you need is Winter tires, AWD is expensive to repair........
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8if it doesn’t brake it doesn’t need to be repaired.
Good job, guys! Practical content.

Like seeing these fuel economy videos!
Great Review!!!
If you told me even five years ago a Buick would be the most popular vehicle in GM's lineup for those 18-35, I wouldn't believe you.
I consistently get over 40mpg on the freeway with my Envista
Great range test
Oh i obviously love it thank you.

About $38k when all said and done!
Maybe Canadian, in the US it tops out at $30,500.
I love mine. The preferred came fully loaded with a starter at 30K in Canada. Engine has lots of power.
@@jennifergala how can THAT little of horsepower move that thing,? LOTS of power?🤣🤣
@@gregkramer5588 just priced the one...the top model is $37,900 TOP model!
@@eatshiyyes it's amazing. I love it and get 5.5 litres on the highway. Also is super quiet. Pure luxury.

We hope this can be a new type of video for the press cars we have for a week
Great video!

Do you check with maps to see how far you traveled? Cars can often be a mile or half off.

The Trax is the Chevy version and it is 2wd only also. You might be thinking of the Trailblazer. 100k miles will be easy in this I think.
interesting test! I assume the Trax numbers are similar with the Buick's right?
They should be almost exactly the same in the real world
That 3cyl engine longevity is my concern.
Gosh I really want one
It's okay
In Canada it’s completely failed 😞. Hope it’s come with AWD hybrid system
Did/Do you Guys check tire pressure before the test ??
Yes
Was this on regular gas or premium? Thanks
Regular fuel
Do you use regular or premium gas?
Regular
EPA tests at 48 mph or something. They need a higher speed test.
In Texas with our "80" mph speed "limits", that 33mpg would be impossible to match lmao. But cool to see that it can do better than its claimed ratings at those walking paces 👍
I will Buy toyota Corolla AWD instead of this
30k is considered cheap…lol
1.2 turbo? Are you kidding me GM? I bet this shit won't make it past 90k without throwing a rod
The Toyota Tundras are worse.
