Is the fuel consumption of Changan CS75PLUS high?
2 Answers
Changan CS75PLUS has an average fuel consumption of 9.0 liters per 100 kilometers. The following are related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Driving habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly related to driving habits and road conditions. Avoid stepping hard on the accelerator; gradual acceleration when starting is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator heavily when starting, as heavy acceleration consumes 2 to 3 times more fuel than normal speed starts. 2. Braking: Maintaining a safe distance and avoiding frequent braking saves more fuel. If you don't keep a safe distance, you may need to brake frequently on the road. When braking, the gear of an automatic transmission vehicle will drop, and the vehicle will have to pull up from a low gear again. Starting from a standstill or in a low gear requires the engine to consume more fuel.
I've been driving the Changan CS75 PLUS for almost two years now. My daily commute in the city often involves traffic congestion, resulting in an average fuel consumption of around 10 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways, it drops to slightly over 8 liters. Compared to compact sedans, it's definitely higher, but as an SUV, it offers spacious and comfortable seating with adequate power, so I find this fuel consumption acceptable. Many factors affect fuel efficiency, such as stop-and-go traffic with air conditioning on, which quickly increases consumption. On suburban roads with better conditions, driving gently—avoiding rapid acceleration and frequent overtaking—can save a lot of fuel. Compared to other SUVs in the same class like the Haval H6, it's about the same, not particularly outrageous. Overall, if you mainly drive short distances in the city, you might find it high, but it's very practical for family trips and long-distance driving. The key is to optimize driving habits for long-term fuel savings.
