What is the actual fuel consumption of Changan CS75?
4 Answers
The fuel consumption of the new Changan CS75 is around 8 liters per 100 kilometers for the manual transmission version and around 9 liters for the automatic transmission. The older model of Changan CS75 has a fuel consumption of around 9 liters for the 1.5T manual transmission and 11 liters for the 1.8T automatic transmission. Introduction to car fuel consumption: Fuel consumption, commonly referred to as the amount of fuel consumed by a car after traveling 100 kilometers, typically refers to constant-speed fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption (Constant-Speed Fuel Economy) is a measure of a car's fuel efficiency when driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways and is easy to measure, it is widely used. However, because cars in actual driving often experience acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, constant-speed fuel consumption is often lower and differs significantly from actual fuel consumption. Reasons for high fuel consumption: High fuel pressure. Aging or carbon buildup in spark plugs: Worn or damaged spark plugs can increase fuel consumption. To save fuel, car owners should replace spark plugs in a timely manner. Products like Jiran iridium spark plugs and Bosch can help save fuel. Abnormal tire pressure or switching to larger-sized tires: Tires that are too large or too small can affect fuel consumption. High fuel pressure.

I've been driving the Changan CS75 for three years, mostly for city commuting. The actual fuel consumption isn't as low as the official figures claim. In traffic jams, it often reaches around 10L, especially with AC on during summer which consumes even more fuel. On highways it's more economical, averaging about 7L. The 1.5T engine provides sufficient power but the vehicle is relatively heavy. Coupled with the slightly slow response of the automatic transmission, fuel consumption rises significantly in areas with frequent traffic lights. During peak-hour traffic jams, it could even reach 14L. My personal suggestion is to regularly maintain the air filter and keep tire pressure at proper levels to avoid unnecessary fuel waste. By the way, the eco mode saves some fuel but results in slower acceleration - it depends on whether you can accept that trade-off.
I've been researching the fuel consumption of domestic SUVs, and the feedback from Changan CS75 owners is quite realistic. Based on actual measurements from owner forums, the normal range for the standard 1.5T model is 9-11L in urban areas and 6-8L on highways. The new hybrid version has significantly lower fuel consumption, capable of reaching as low as 5L in urban areas. In fact, fuel consumption is greatly influenced by driving habits—aggressive acceleration or frequent braking can easily exceed the official data. The high drag coefficient of the vehicle body is also a hidden factor, especially noticeable on long-distance trips. Remember to change the engine oil regularly and use low-viscosity types, which can reduce fuel consumption by about 5%.
Last month I tested my friend's CS75. During morning rush hour in urban areas, it consumed 12L, and 11L during evening rush hour, averaging around 10L for daily commutes. The most fuel-efficient speed is 100 km/h on highways, with an accurate reading of 6.5L. The fuel consumption fluctuates mainly based on road conditions, significantly increasing when climbing slopes or carrying loads over 500 jin. Opting for the high-power version isn't as practical as the low-power one; the difference of 1L in fuel doesn't save much time. Regular carbon deposit cleaning is crucial, especially for older models over five years.
