I usually drive this car to commute. The Changan CS15 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, which is quite worry-free for daily use. The power delivery is smooth, making it sufficient for overtaking in the city, and it doesn’t feel unstable during highway cruising. In terms of fuel consumption, I average 6.8L/100km, and a full tank can cover over 500 kilometers, making it economical and practical. Maintenance is affordable, with simple servicing every six months costing just a few hundred yuan. Compared to other compact SUVs, although this engine doesn’t have a turbocharger, its simple and durable structure has kept it running smoothly for three years without major issues. It’s quite reliable, with quick cold starts in winter, making it ideal for commuters. Overall, it offers great value for money, is easy to drive without stress, and is a solid choice for a daily commuter car.

As someone who pays attention to automotive details, I know the core power of the Changan CS15 comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated gasoline engine, model JL473QF. With a displacement of approximately 1.5 liters, it delivers a standard output of 78 kilowatts (105 horsepower) and 145 Newton-meters of torque. The engine is designed with multi-point fuel injection technology, optimizing fuel efficiency and emissions while meeting environmental compliance standards. In daily driving, the engine responds promptly, handling uphill and bridge climbs effortlessly, though acceleration is slightly slower compared to turbocharged (T) engines. Officially, the combined fuel consumption is rated at 6.5L/100km by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, while real-world tests typically show around 7L. Maintenance recommendations include regular checks of spark plugs and filters. This engine is known for its reliability, excellent noise control, and is an ideal choice for entry-level SUVs, featuring mature technology that is less prone to breakdowns.

Driving the Changan CS15, its engine is a 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, and after more than a year of use, the experience has been great. It starts smoothly in congested city traffic, has sufficient power when climbing hills, and accelerates smoothly without air conditioning, with an average fuel consumption of 7.2L/100km, which is quite economical. I've driven it on mountain roads and highways, and the engine has never overheated or stalled. Maintenance is simple and inexpensive. It's suitable for daily use, without fancy technology but reliable and durable. After long-term use, there are no major issues, and even beginners can easily get the hang of it.

When I first bought the car, I did some research. The Changan CS15 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, which provides ample power for daily commuting. It's fuel-efficient, consuming about 7L/100km in the city and even less on long trips. The power feels slightly insufficient when the air conditioning is on, but overall it runs smoothly with low noise and good comfort. In terms of maintenance, the engine design is simple, and parts are cheap and easy to replace. Compared to other small SUVs, it may lack the explosive power of turbocharged engines, but it's fuel-efficient, stable, and highly practical—I've had almost no issues in two years of driving.

Is the Phaeton an imported car?

Phaeton is an imported car. The following are methods to distinguish domestically produced cars from imported cars and an introduction to the characteristics of imported cars: Methods to distinguish domestically produced cars from imported cars: Check if there are Chinese characters at the rear of the car, check the vehicle identification number (VIN) - if it starts with the letter 'L', it is a domestically produced car; otherwise, it is an imported car, and differentiate through vehicle model configurations. Characteristics of imported cars: Significant price advantage by eliminating intermediate costs, as they bypass multiple layers of dealers and 4S stores, saving a large amount of intermediary costs. Parallel imported cars can be more than 20% cheaper than China-spec cars. You can purchase models not yet available in the domestic market, saving waiting time for new cars, and enjoy richer configurations that are consistent with overseas versions.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sharan?

The fuel tank capacity of the Sharan is 70 liters. Below is the relevant introduction: Volkswagen Sharan: Since the full production of the first-generation Sharan in 1996, it has consistently held the position of the best-selling MPV in the German market. Across the entire European market, the Sharan has also ranked among the top three in sales within its class. Among consumers who purchase the Sharan, half previously drove models produced by other manufacturers. The extraordinary appeal of the Sharan is sufficient proof of how deeply Volkswagen's design and manufacturing philosophy resonates with people. Interior: The Sharan adopts a 2+3+2 seating configuration, so there is no central passage for third-row passengers to enter and exit. Although the vehicle width exceeds 1.8 meters, due to the slightly inward-curving arc design, shoulder and headroom for multiple passengers may be somewhat affected. However, for an MPV with a length of 4.6 meters, the space utilization of the Sharan is already quite good. Additionally, the rear air conditioning vents are very discreet, featuring a panel-mounted design where cool air spreads from the footwell vents throughout the cabin. Although the vehicle does not have overhead air conditioning vents, the cooling performance is already excellent.

Can I Add 95 Octane Gasoline When 92 Octane Is Not Completely Used Up?

92 gasoline not completely used up can add 95, but should not be mixed for a long time. The following is the relevant introduction about gasoline: Precautions for car refueling: The higher the octane number of gasoline, the better its anti-knock performance. When the air-fuel mixture is injected into the cylinder, the piston moves upward to compress the air-fuel mixture. When the pressure increases, the temperature rises. If the anti-knock performance of the gasoline is too low at this time, combustion will start before the spark plug ignites, resulting in detonation, commonly known as knocking. Knocking not only affects the engine's output but also causes damage to the engine. Choose gasoline octane number according to the vehicle model: 92 octane gasoline is suitable for ordinary cars with low technical content. 95 octane gasoline is suitable for the vast majority of cars. 95 octane gasoline is suitable for turbocharged and high-compression ratio models, and it is compatible with most vehicles.
