Is the fuel consumption of the Changan CS75 Plus high?

[SanDawson]

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Changan CS75 Plus is 6.5-8.1L/100km. Currently, there are 5 models of the Changan CS75 Plus on sale. The automatic flagship model and automatic navigation model have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.1L/100km. The automatic premium model, automatic luxury model, and automatic elite model have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 9.2-12.0L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during a cold start, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

I've been driving the Changan CS75 PLUS for almost two years now, and overall, the fuel consumption isn't too high, but it depends on how you use it. In city traffic, it's around 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, especially when using the air conditioning or stuck in traffic, where the fuel consumption spikes. On the highway, it's much more economical—maintaining a steady speed of 60 to 70 km/h can bring it down to about 7 liters. Compared to other SUVs in the same class, like the Haval H6 or the Geely Boyue, the CS75 PLUS's fuel consumption is at a medium level. The official rating is around 8 liters, but actual usage tends to be slightly higher. The main factors affecting fuel consumption are driving habits—avoiding sudden braking and aggressive acceleration can save about 1 liter per 100 kilometers. Maintenance-wise, regular air filter and oil changes, along with keeping tire pressure optimal, can help optimize fuel efficiency. For a family car with ample space and strong power, I find this fuel consumption acceptable—it's not too outrageous.

From a technical perspective, the fuel consumption of the CS75 PLUS is well controlled and not considered high. It offers two engine options: a 1.5T and a 2.0T. The 1.5T turbocharged version is more fuel-efficient, consuming around 9 liters in urban areas and 6-7 liters on highways. Engine efficiency and vehicle weight are key factors. Although this car has a substantial mass and relatively high aerodynamic drag, optimized performance makes it more fuel-efficient than older engines. I recommend paying attention to maintenance details, such as ensuring the air filter isn’t clogged and using high-quality engine oil, which can prevent abnormal increases in fuel consumption. Tire wear also affects rolling resistance—switching to energy-saving tires can reduce fuel consumption. Compared to luxury SUVs, its fuel consumption is quite reasonable, making daily use worry-free in terms of cost burden.

As a budget-conscious car owner, fuel consumption directly impacts your wallet. The CS75 PLUS consumes 10 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving, which is not excessive, costing a few hundred dollars per month in fuel. It's slightly higher compared to sedans, but it offers more space and practicality. On highways, fuel consumption drops below 7 liters per 100 kilometers, resulting in noticeable savings. I've tried the eco mode, which reduces fuel consumption by about 5%. Pay attention to avoiding sudden acceleration and not cranking up the air conditioning too much—these small habits add up over time. Overall, this car has moderate fuel consumption without striving for extreme fuel efficiency.

Fuel consumption is closely related to driving habits. I drive smoothly, and the CS75 PLUS maintains a stable fuel consumption of 9 to 10 liters in the city; if you frequently accelerate and brake hard, it can easily exceed 12 liters. Driving at a constant speed on the highway is more fuel-efficient, achieving around 6 to 7 liters. Using the air conditioning adds an extra 1 to 2 liters of fuel consumption. Vehicle weight and road conditions also have an impact, so higher fuel consumption in traffic jams is normal. It's not particularly high, but optimizing daily driving habits can help. Regular checks of electrical circuits and sensors can prevent abnormal fuel consumption.

Significant fuel consumption differences between versions. The 1.5T model claims over 7L, but actual urban usage is 8-9L, lower on highways; the 2.0T is slightly higher, over 10L in cities. I've tried maintaining constant speed in suburbs, reducing consumption to 6.5L, much more economical than city driving. Maintaining key components like fuel injectors and avoiding carbon buildup can optimize fuel efficiency. Compared to older models, the new generation shows notable fuel consumption improvements. Not considered high, moderate level.
