Is the fuel consumption of Changan CS85 high?
2 Answers
Changan CS85 has relatively high fuel consumption. Here is an introduction about Changan Automobile: 1. Introduction: China Changan Automobile Group Co., Ltd., formerly known as China South Industries Automobile Co., Ltd., was established in December 2005. It was renamed China Changan Automobile Group Co., Ltd. on July 1, 2009. 2. Development Plan: In 2012, the company sold more than 4.5 million vehicles, initially possessing the capability to compete in the international mainstream automobile market. By 2020, it aims to form a relatively complete product series, with its own brand entering the high-end market, achieving total vehicle sales of 6 million units, and advancing towards becoming a world-class automobile enterprise.
I've discussed the fuel consumption of the Changan CS85 with my friends. Those who have driven this SUV say its fuel consumption is generally not too high, but not low either. The CS85 is equipped with a turbocharged engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. In city driving, stop-and-go traffic can push the fuel consumption up to around 11 liters per 100 kilometers. On the highway, maintaining a steady speed can easily bring it down to about 8 liters. The vehicle's weight and drag coefficient also affect performance—the CS85 has a curb weight of over 1.5 tons and a moderate drag coefficient, so fuel consumption rises slightly during acceleration. I recommend trying the eco mode to save some fuel. Compared to its peer, the Haval H6, the CS85 focuses more on comfort, with similar fuel consumption. However, it consumes more fuel than pure hybrid vehicles during frequent highway driving. Overall, its fuel consumption is moderate to slightly high, making it suitable for urban commuters, but don't expect it to be very fuel-efficient.
