What is the actual fuel consumption of the Changan CS35?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Changan CS35 is around 6.8 liters, but the specific fuel consumption still depends on individual driving habits. Taking the 2017 Changan CS35 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category with body dimensions of 4170mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2560mm. The 2017 Changan CS35 features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125PS, a maximum power of 92kW, and a maximum torque of 160Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Changan CS35 for over two years for my daily commute, mostly on urban roads with fuel consumption typically ranging from 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, which can drop to around 7 liters on highways. There are many influencing factors, such as using air conditioning in summer which increases fuel consumption by about 0.5 liters, and idling in traffic jams consumes more fuel. My driving habits are relatively steady, with rare hard accelerations—if I press the throttle too hard, the fuel consumption can instantly spike to over 12 liters. Carrying more passengers also increases fuel consumption; last summer when traveling with the whole family, the average consumption was 9.5 liters. Overall, based on my experience and that of my friends, the real combined fuel consumption of the CS35 is mostly around 8 liters, making it a fairly reliable city car. Regularly checking tire pressure can save some fuel, as underinflated tires noticeably increase consumption. Preheating the engine before long trips helps reduce extra fuel consumption.
