What is the fuel consumption of the 2021 Changan CS85 new model?
2 Answers
There are 6 available models for the 2021 Changan CS85 new model, including three COUPE-2021-1.5T-DCT models (Premium, Luxury, and Elite) equipped with a 178-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100km. The other three COUPE-2021-2.0T-Automatic models (Flagship, Luxury, and Premium) are equipped with a 233-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of the 2021 Changan CS85 new model is 58L. The driving range on a full tank for different models is as follows: Models equipped with the 178-horsepower engine can travel 58/6.5*100=892km on a full tank. Models equipped with the 233-horsepower engine can travel 58/7.9*100=734km on a full tank. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before traffic lights can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements, as larger displacements typically produce more power and require more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, lower temperatures prompt the engine control unit to use higher RPMs to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the 2021 Changan CS85 (1.5T automatic) for a while now. The official fuel consumption data claims 6.8L/100km, but my real-world experience has been interesting. For daily urban commuting with traffic congestion, it reaches around 8.5L/100km. On highways, it easily drops to 6.3L/100km, which is quite fuel-efficient. This is mainly due to its lightweight design, effective turbocharging, and the quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that ensures smooth and economical driving. When I adopt gentle driving techniques like steady acceleration and minimal hard braking, I can keep consumption below 7L/100km. Air conditioning in summer increases it slightly by no more than 0.5L. Compared to older models, the new version features upgraded engine tuning for better eco-friendliness. If you frequently take long trips, its fuel efficiency is a strong advantage; for city driving, it's decent. Maintaining proper tire pressure and regular engine maintenance can further optimize consumption. Overall, I find it worthwhile for an SUV - monthly fuel costs stay reasonably within budget.
