What is the fuel consumption of Changan Oushang X70A?
2 Answers
Changan Oushang X70A has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100 kilometers as given by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, while the actual measured average fuel consumption is 8.15L per 100 kilometers. Changan Oushang X70A is equipped with a 1.5T naturally aspirated engine, which adopts a four-cylinder structure and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Factors affecting car fuel consumption include: Reducing the weight of the vehicle. The relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional. For every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption will decrease by a corresponding percentage. Car design. A smaller drag coefficient will significantly reduce fuel consumption. The relationship between these two is also directly proportional. Improving the thermal efficiency of the engine. Currently, the thermal efficiency of general gasoline engines (i.e., the proportion of fuel converted into useful work) reaches more than 30%, while diesel engines have exceeded 40%. This is why diesel engines have lower fuel consumption than gasoline engines.
As an ordinary owner who has driven the Changan Oushang X70A, I find its fuel consumption quite understandable. For my daily city driving, the average fuel consumption is 8-9L/100km, and it can rise to around 10L/100km in traffic jams. On the highway, it's much more economical, roughly 6.5-7.5L/100km. The key factor is the engine type: this car comes with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with a five-speed manual or automatic transmission, offering moderate combustion efficiency. Many factors affect fuel consumption, such as driving habits—smooth starts and steady driving save fuel, while sudden braking and acceleration waste it; increased load also raises fuel consumption; cold weather or using the air conditioning adds 0.5-1L per 100km. Proper maintenance, like regular oil changes and air filter replacements, helps keep fuel consumption at a reasonable level. Overall, this car is relatively economical among its SUV peers but can't match hybrids or smaller cars. I recommend using a fuel consumption tracking app for better monitoring.
