I've been driving the Dongfeng Fengshen AX5 for over a year now. As a compact SUV, its fuel consumption isn't particularly high. For daily urban commuting, the average fuel consumption is around 9L/100km. In heavy traffic or when using air conditioning in hot weather, it might rise above 10L. On highways, it's much more economical, averaging about 7.5-8L/100km. I believe driving habits play a significant role – for instance, my habit of gentle acceleration and avoiding sudden braking helps control fuel consumption. Additionally, regular maintenance is crucial; tasks like changing the air filter and checking tire pressure (as underinflated tires increase the load) are important. Overall, the AX5's fuel consumption is at a moderate level among domestic SUVs. While monthly fuel costs are part of my budget, they don't feel burdensome. Compared to some older SUV models, it's relatively fuel-efficient, making it suitable for family or commuting use.
