What is the fuel consumption of Changan Oshan X7?
3 Answers
Changan Oshan X7's actual fuel consumption is not fixed, ranging from 8-12L per 100 kilometers, while the MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption is 7.4L per 100 kilometers. The following is a detailed introduction to Changan Oshan X7: 1. Changan Oshan X7 is equipped with the Blue Whale 1.5TGDI engine, which has won the "China Heart Top Ten Engines" award. This new 280T engine has a maximum power of 131Kw and a maximum torque of 265Nm, surpassing same-displacement engines from brands like BMW, Buick, and Honda. It reaches the peak torque of 265Nm at 1450rpm. 2. Despite its powerful performance, the engine adopts strong scavenging technology, which uses the positive pressure difference between the intake and exhaust pipes to directly sweep fresh air into the exhaust system, reducing residual exhaust gas in the cylinder, improving charging efficiency, and enhancing engine performance. The low-end torque of the engine is increased by over 20%, significantly improving starting performance. The shift strategy is optimized to achieve engine downspeed, significantly reducing fuel consumption. 3. Changan Oshan X7 is matched with a DCT dual-clutch transmission developed by the UK R&D center, featuring rapid throttle response and excellent acceleration performance.
I've been driving the Oshan X7 for over two years now. In the city, it shows around 9L per 100km, and on the highway, it drops to about 7.5L. The car comes with a 1.5T engine paired with a dual-clutch transmission, and in traffic jams, the fuel consumption can indeed go up to 11L, especially in summer when the AC is on. My weekly commute is about 300 kilometers, costing roughly 260 yuan in fuel, which is a bit more economical than my colleague's H6. To keep fuel consumption low, you need to control your driving technique—anticipate road conditions to brake less and maintain tire pressure above 2.4. Also, don’t clutter the trunk with unnecessary items. By the way, 92-octane fuel is sufficient; 95-octane is just a waste of money.
The fuel consumption was tested in three driving conditions: 12L with AC on during morning rush hour, the most economical at 6.8L when cruising at 80 km/h on expressways, and a combined 8.3L on national highways. For a vehicle of Oshan X7's size, this fuel consumption is reasonable, especially considering its 4.7-meter length. It's suggested that fuel consumption may drop by about 0.5L after the first maintenance. Remember to switch to full synthetic oil during the second maintenance. Here's a lesser-known tip: avoid filling the fuel tank to the brim; maintaining it at two-thirds full can actually save fuel, as proven effective in personal tests.
