[MakaylaMarie]

1.5T model has a combined fuel consumption of approximately 8.9 liters per 100 kilometers, while the 2.0T model has a combined fuel consumption of approximately 9.9 liters per 100 kilometers. Additional information: 1. 1.5-liter turbocharged engine: The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 131kW, a maximum torque of 265 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1450 to 4500 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. 2.0-liter turbocharged engine: The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 171kW, a maximum torque of 360 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1750 to 3500 rpm. This engine also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and a cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. 3. Suspension: The CS85 uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

I've been driving the Changan CS85 for almost a year now. My actual urban commuting fuel consumption ranges between 8.5 to 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers, spiking to 10 liters during peak traffic jams. On highways, it drops to around 7.8 to 8.2 liters. Turning on the AC adds over 1 liter in summer, and preheating the car in winter also increases consumption slightly. I follow the 5,000-km maintenance schedule, changing engine oil and maintaining tire pressure at the standard 2.5 bar, which saves about 0.5 liter. I practice smooth acceleration and deceleration, avoiding hard braking, which keeps fuel consumption stable. Compared to my friend's Haval H6, the CS85 is slightly more fuel-efficient, though not as good as some Japanese models achieving 6L/100km. For better mileage, I recommend avoiding heavy loads and using cruise control on highways – my best record was 7.5L/100km. Overall, its fuel efficiency is reasonable for family long-distance trips.

I have some knowledge about automotive technology. The actual measured fuel consumption of the Changan CS85 is generally 8.3 to 8.8 liters per 100 kilometers on urban mixed roads, and 7.5 to 7.9 liters on highways, mainly relying on the turbocharging and efficient design of the Blue Whale engine to optimize fuel efficiency. However, in reality, factors like air resistance play a significant role. The SUV shape increases air resistance at high speeds, leading to higher fuel consumption. When the engine load is high, such as during traffic jams or uphill driving, fuel consumption rises quickly. It is recommended to regularly clean the air filter and spark plugs to improve air intake efficiency and reduce abnormal fuel consumption. A well-matched transmission helps save fuel, but long-term overloading of luggage or speeding can affect efficiency. Compared to pure electric models, fuel consumption emits more carbon, with monthly fuel costs exceeding 600 yuan for driving 1,000 kilometers. If you frequently drive on mixed roads, choosing a smooth driving mode can stabilize fuel consumption within 8 liters.

I'm very conscious of the impact of fuel consumption on both the environment and my wallet. In real-world testing, the Changan CS85 averages around 8 liters per 100 kilometers under normal driving conditions, which translates to over 600 yuan per month in fuel costs and nearly 0.2 tons of CO2 emissions per 100 kilometers. On long highway trips, the fuel consumption drops to 7.7 liters, saving money and reducing carbon emissions a bit better. However, in city traffic, the fuel consumption exceeds 9 liters, costing more and increasing pollution. Compared to fuel-efficient sedans like those with 6-liter consumption, I spend over 100 yuan more per month. To reduce the burden, I drive lightly without unnecessary extra weight, and carpooling or taking public transport is more eco-friendly. Regular maintenance of tires and engine ensures normal emissions. Using the air conditioning increases fuel consumption by about 1 liter, so I opt to open windows for ventilation when it's cool to save fuel. In the long run, buying a low-consumption vehicle benefits both the planet and savings.
