3 Answers
There are a total of five models, each with different specifications. Below are the relevant details for each model: Five models: The Changan Oushang Kosei 5-5 seater mainly consists of five models, namely the 2021 1.6L 1.6L Manual Classic, 2021 1.6L 1.6L Manual Premium, 2021 1.6L 1.6L CVT Classic, 2021 1.6L 1.6L CVT Premium, and the 2019 1.6L Automatic Classic National VI. Fuel consumption: 2021 1.6L 1.6L Manual Classic average fuel consumption: 7.25L/100km; 2021 1.6L 1.6L Manual Premium average fuel consumption: 8.65L/100km; 2021 1.6L 1.6L CVT Classic average fuel consumption: 8.57L/100km; 2021 1.6L 1.6L CVT Premium average fuel consumption: 9L/100km; 2019 1.6L Automatic Classic National VI average fuel consumption: 8.38L/100km.
I've been driving the Changan Oshan Cos 5 for over half a year, mainly for commuting to work and weekend joyrides. The official fuel consumption is stated as 6.8L per 100km, but in reality, during peak traffic hours in the city, it can spike to over 9L, while on weekend highway drives, it drops to around 7L. I tend to drive moderately, avoiding hard acceleration, which helps keep the fuel consumption steady at about 8.5L. It's slightly higher when carrying friends or luggage. The extra fuel cost amounts to an additional one or two hundred yuan per month, which is a bit higher than the official figures, but the car's spaciousness makes it practical. I recommend that new drivers pay attention to their driving habits, avoid sudden braking, and be mindful of the temperature setting when using the air conditioning to save on fuel costs in the long run.
From a testing perspective, I have test-driven the Kosai 5 in various environments. In urban areas with frequent traffic lights, the average fuel consumption is 8.2L per 100 kilometers; on highways at a steady speed of 100km/h, it drops to around 6.5L; while driving uphill in mountainous areas, consumption can jump to 9.5L. Official data is usually derived from ideal road conditions, but real-world figures are typically 10-15% higher. The vehicle's aerodynamic drag and load have noticeable effects—full load adds about 0.5L per 100 kilometers. I recommend referring to average reports from owner forums, as they reflect real-world experiences. For daily driving, maintaining proper tire pressure and regularly replacing the air filter can slightly improve efficiency. When budgeting for long-term fuel costs, it’s always wise to allocate a bit extra.
