Is the Changan CS95 fuel-consuming?

[CooperDella]

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.

As someone who frequently tests cars, I've driven many SUVs in the same class. The CS95 weighs nearly two tons, and a daily urban fuel consumption of around 11L is quite reasonable. The new model has optimized the powertrain, making it slightly more fuel-efficient than the older version. Compared to joint-venture brands, the fuel consumption difference isn't significant, but the price is much more affordable. The car starts quite steadily, but fuel consumption spikes noticeably during rapid acceleration—maintaining a steady speed is the most economical. For long-term use, I recommend choosing 92-octane fuel to save a lot on expenses.

Once, two families of friends went on a self-driving trip together, and we swapped between my CS95 and the Highlander. On the highway, the CS95's fuel consumption was around 8.5, similar to the Highlander. However, when overtaking on national roads, the CS95's fuel consumption was noticeably higher, which is understandable given the different power tuning. In terms of space, the CS95's third row is more practical, and the trunk can even fit three folding strollers. Considering the price difference of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, this fuel consumption is completely acceptable.

Driving this car requires skill, and I've figured out many fuel-saving tips: start by gently pressing the accelerator, keeping the RPM below 2000; activate ECO mode during highway cruising, maintaining tire pressure at 2.5 is ideal; in summer, ventilate and cool the car ten minutes before turning on the AC to avoid setting the temperature too low. Monthly accounting shows that using 92-octane fuel saves over a hundred bucks compared to 95-octane. After regular throttle body cleaning, the accelerator feels noticeably lighter, and fuel consumption drops by 0.5.

Recently took my family on a road trip along the Qinghai-Gansu loop, covering 3,100km of complex road conditions. Fuel consumption exceeded 14L/100km during high-altitude climbs, but dropped to just 7.9L/100km when using adaptive cruise on the flat sections around Qinghai Lake. The auto start-stop system proved useful in city traffic, saving fuel at red lights. With the trunk fully loaded (luggage + car fridge adding about 200 pounds), overall fuel consumption increased by 0.8L/100km. This model offers reasonable but slightly high fuel consumption, making it ideal for large families needing spacious interiors.
