Is the Changan CS75 a gas guzzler?

Changan CS75 current models are not gas guzzlers. Below are relevant details about the Changan CS75: 1. Exterior: 2700mm wheelbase, bold front grille design, smooth body side lines, quality metal chrome decorations; 2. Interior: Multi-layer three-dimensional dual-barrel instrument panel paired with a 3.5-inch TFT color display, integrated central control area with personalized air vent decorative panels; 3. Powertrain: BlueCore 2.0VVT powerful engine with maximum power of 116KW/6000rpm and maximum torque of 200N·m/4000-4500rpm, 1.8T turbocharged engine with maximum power of 130KW/5500rpm and maximum torque of 230N·m/5000rpm, delivering stable and smooth power output, equipped with 6MT efficient transmission featuring high transmission efficiency and smooth gear shifting.

As a CS75 owner who has driven it for three years and covered over 50,000 kilometers, this car's fuel consumption is quite sensitive to road conditions. The 1.5T automatic transmission can reach 10-11 liters per 100km in city traffic jams, and it gets even worse with AC on. However, it performs much better on highways, averaging just over 7 liters. My neighbor's Haval H6 consumes even more fuel, while my colleague's Boyue is about the same as this car. I'd recommend choosing the new Blue Whale engine version - it maintains the same power while reducing fuel consumption by over 1 liter. With its 60L fuel tank filled up, it can run about 600 kilometers. Actually, all SUVs are fuel-intensive. If you want better fuel efficiency, just buy a sedan instead - though the high seating position and excellent visibility of SUVs are truly incomparable.

Just accompanied a friend to test drive the new CS75PLUS at the 4S dealership. The salesperson claimed the 1.5T model has a combined fuel consumption of 8.2L. I checked real-world data from Dongchedi, where most owner reviews of the previous model reported around 9L - the new Blue Core engine does show improvement. Considering its curb weight of nearly 1.6 tons (200kg heavier than Japanese SUVs), slightly higher fuel consumption is understandable. For those particularly concerned about fuel costs, the third-generation Blue Core engine paired with 48V mild hybrid is worth considering - it offers smoother start-stop operation and better fuel efficiency, though it costs about 10,000 yuan more.

I chose the CS75 for its spaciousness, and now after 8,000 km, it shows 9.3L/100km on the dashboard. Gotta say driving style makes a big difference – once I drove gently on the elevated road and got a surprising 6.8L. This car consumes more fuel during cold starts, so avoid heavy throttle before the engine warms up. Regular maintenance is crucial; last time after switching to full synthetic oil, fuel consumption dropped by 0.5L. I used to keep two cases of mineral water in the trunk year-round, and after removing them, fuel efficiency improved – weight reduction actually works. My advice: rent one for two days to test real-world fuel consumption before buying, way more reliable than sales pitches.
