What is the actual fuel consumption of the Changan CS75?
2 Answers
Changan CS75 offers three engine options: 1.5T, 1.8T, and 2.0L. The 1.5T version has a fuel consumption of 8-11L per 100 kilometers, the 1.8T version consumes 9-12L per 100 kilometers, and the 2.0T version consumes 8-11L per 100 kilometers. The actual fuel consumption during driving may vary due to factors such as driving habits, road conditions, and traffic environment. A fluctuation of up to 10% around the average fuel consumption range mentioned above is considered normal. Here are some ways to reduce fuel consumption by improving driving habits: 1. Gentle acceleration and braking, and early braking. Some drivers tend to accelerate aggressively, which increases CO2 emissions and significantly raises fuel consumption. Therefore, it's advisable to accelerate gently, avoid sudden increases in engine RPM, and prevent vehicle shuddering. Anticipate road conditions and accelerate or brake smoothly and gradually to save fuel. 2. Avoid frequent braking. When slowing down, try not to rely solely on the brakes. Instead, ease off the accelerator and use engine braking, which is more fuel-efficient than using the brakes. 3. Plan your route and travel time in advance. Driving during peak hours or in congested areas not only increases the risk of accidents but also exponentially raises fuel consumption. 4. Minimize short-distance trips. On journeys shorter than 5 kilometers, the engine often doesn't reach its optimal operating temperature, resulting in the lowest fuel combustion efficiency and the highest fuel consumption during such trips.
I've been driving a Changan CS75 1.5T automatic for nearly three years, with about 70% city commuting and 30% expressway driving. When I first got the car, the fuel consumption was around 11 liters per 100km, but it dropped after the first 5,000km maintenance and now stabilizes at about 9.3 liters. It's most fuel-intensive when using AC in summer - city traffic can push it up to 10.5 liters, while maintaining 100km/h on highways can bring it down to 7.8 liters. The large fuel tank allows over 500km per fill-up, so I only need to refuel twice a month. I recommend avoiding hard acceleration, shifting to neutral at red lights over 30 seconds, and maintaining 2.5 tire pressure for optimal fuel efficiency. Overall, the fuel consumption is decent for an SUV considering its spaciousness and power.
