What is the actual fuel consumption of the Changan Oushang X5?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Oushang X5 is around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are specific methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. The car consumes the most fuel during low-speed starts, so gently pressing the accelerator when starting and preventing excessively high RPM can effectively reduce fuel consumption. 2. Avoid unnecessary high RPM as much as possible, as fluctuating engine speeds can significantly increase fuel consumption. 3. Perform regular maintenance, including oil changes and carbon deposit removal. 4. Try to avoid emergency braking; anticipating road conditions in advance not only improves driving safety but also saves fuel, such as gradually slowing down before traffic lights and utilizing inertia to glide.
I've been driving the Changan Oshan X5 for almost a year, mainly commuting in the city. In heavy traffic, the fuel consumption can rise to around 11L, but on highways, it drops below 8L. On average, it's about 9.2L per 100 kilometers. The official data claims 6.9L, but in real driving conditions, frequent red lights and sudden braking increase fuel consumption. I've tried adopting a gentler driving style—such as gradual acceleration and avoiding peak hours—which can save about 0.5L. Maintenance is crucial; I check the tire pressure monthly to keep it at 2.5bar, as a dirty air filter can quickly raise fuel consumption if not replaced. Using the AC in summer often adds 1L, so I prefer using the recirculation mode to cool down first. Overall, the X5's fuel consumption is average for its SUV class—not particularly fuel-efficient but not outrageous either. Spending a little over 1,000 yuan monthly on fuel is acceptable, and proper daily maintenance helps save money and reduce hassle.
