What is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Changan CS75?
2 Answers
There are currently 3 latest models of the Changan CS75 available for sale. Among them, the 2022 Blue Whale Edition 1.5T DCT Premium and Luxury models are equipped with a 180-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100 kilometers. The 2022 Blue Whale Edition 1.5T Manual Elite model is also equipped with a 180-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of the Changan CS75 is 58L. The distance that different models can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the 2022 Blue Whale Edition 1.5T DCT Premium and Luxury models, the distance on a full tank is 58/6.5*100=892km. For the 2022 Blue Whale Edition 1.5T Manual Elite model, the distance on a full tank is 58/6.2*100=935km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
As an experienced driver who frequently drives, I've driven many Changan CS75s, with actual fuel consumption typically fluctuating between 8 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on conditions. For example, frequent stop-and-go traffic in the city can easily push consumption above 11 liters, while driving on flat highway sections can reduce it to just over 7 liters. The car is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, which offers quick power response but isn't particularly fuel-efficient. I recommend avoiding aggressive throttle inputs and maintaining steady acceleration and proper tire pressure to save some fuel costs. Similar SUVs in the same class, like the Haval H6, perform about the same, indicating that domestic brands still have room for improvement in fuel economy. Before purchasing, it's best to check actual test data from owner forums rather than relying solely on the official claimed 7-liter combined figure, which is mostly based on ideal conditions.
