Is the Changan CS95 fuel-consuming?
2 Answers
The Changan CS95 has a fuel consumption of around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. The actual fuel consumption may vary slightly depending on individual driving habits and techniques. A smoother driving style generally results in lower fuel consumption, while aggressive driving habits such as frequent acceleration and overtaking at high RPMs can increase fuel consumption. It is recommended to drive under various conditions and take an average for a more accurate fuel consumption measurement. Reasons for increased fuel consumption: Engine displacement: The engine's displacement has a certain impact on fuel consumption, but this is a fixed factor. Tire pressure: Fuel consumption is also directly related to tire pressure. Both overinflated and underinflated tires can lead to increased fuel consumption. Road conditions: The road conditions on which the car is driven can also affect fuel consumption. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Start slowly, avoid rapid acceleration, shift gears at low RPMs, do not compete with others when the traffic light turns green, repair any dents on the car body, close windows at high speeds to reduce drag, coast in high gear (never coast in neutral as it can lead to steering and brake failure), and remember that driving habits can significantly affect fuel consumption. Drive safely: do not drive under the influence of alcohol, do not drive while fatigued, do not speed or overload, and always wear your seatbelt.
I've been driving this Changan CS95 for over two years now, mostly in urban areas where traffic lights and congestion are common occurrences. The fuel consumption typically ranges between 11 to 13 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways, it can drop to around 9 liters. Given its large size as a 7-seater, the 2.0T engine does require more fuel to power it, which I think is quite normal for a mid-to-large-sized SUV. The spacious interior is great for family outings, and I can accept the slightly higher fuel consumption. For those particularly concerned about fuel costs, a compact car might be a more suitable choice.
