2 Answers
The Changan Unit has a fuel consumption of 8.1 liters per 100 kilometers. The Changan Unit is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4515mm in length, 1870mm in width, and 1565mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2710mm. Below is an introduction to Changan Automobile: 1. R&D Structure: Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., referred to as Changan Automobile, has established a global collaborative R&D structure with "six countries and nine locations" in Chongqing, Beijing, Hebei, Hefei, Turin, Italy, Yokohama, Japan, Birmingham, UK, Detroit, USA, and Munich, Germany, each with a distinct focus. In 2014, Changan's Chinese brand vehicles surpassed cumulative production and sales of 10 million units, becoming the first Chinese brand to enter the "10 million club." In April 2018, Changan Automobile officially announced its third entrepreneurship-innovation and entrepreneurship plan, aiming to transform into a world-class smart mobility technology company. 2. R&D Center: The Changan Automobile Global R&D Center, located in Yufu Industrial Park, Liangjiang New District, Chongqing, was officially put into use on April 9, 2019. Covering an area of over 1,000 acres with a total investment of 4.3 billion yuan, the center is an open, shared, and intelligent R&D platform integrating global resources. It features 7 major functions including design, testing, and management, covering 12 major areas such as simulation analysis, noise and vibration, and crash safety, and includes 180 laboratories for hybrid power, air conditioning systems, non-metallic materials, etc., as well as a global data center built using cloud technology.
I've been driving the Changan UNI-T for a while now, and my actual fuel consumption is around 7.5 to 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, dropping to 6.5 to 7.5 liters on the highway. The car is equipped with a 1.5T Blue Whale engine, which is quite fuel-efficient, but it's heavily influenced by driving habits: fuel consumption can easily rise to 9 liters in traffic jams, while smooth driving keeps it around 7.5 liters. I prefer gentle starts and minimize sudden braking, and I also save fuel by rolling down the windows instead of using the air conditioning. Regular maintenance is also important—for example, underinflated tires can increase fuel consumption. After my last check-up, the fuel consumption stabilized at around 8 liters. Overall, it's a mid-level performer in its class, with reasonable driving costs, and filling up the tank allows me to drive 500 kilometers without much trouble. I recommend paying attention to road conditions and improving fuel efficiency through better anticipation.
