What is the fuel consumption of the Changan CS15?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Changan CS15 is 6.1-6.6L/100km. Currently, there are 6 models of the Changan CS15 available for sale. The manual basic model has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. The automatic basic model and automatic luxury model have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.0-7.6L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive engine carbon deposits are a significant cause, mainly due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not obvious, it indicates a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional cleaning of the engine carbon deposits by technicians. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the fuel-air ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. After the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gas during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. Regularly replace the three filters: During the use of the vehicle, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and send wrong information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit: Although the reliability of the engine's electronic control unit is very high, in vehicles that have been used for a long time, various faults are inevitable.
I have been driving the Changan CS15 manual version for over two years, and I am generally satisfied with its fuel consumption. The average fuel consumption in city driving is around 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers, while it drops to about 5.5 liters during highway cruising. Key factors affecting fuel consumption include driving habits: I prefer smooth starts, avoiding sudden acceleration or braking, and keeping the RPM below 2000 for better fuel efficiency. Road conditions also play a role, with noticeable increases in fuel consumption during congested traffic. Regular maintenance, such as checking tire pressure and changing engine oil, is also crucial. Insufficient tire pressure can increase fuel consumption by at least 0.5 liters. Overall, I find this car economical and suitable for daily commuting, easily covering over 500 kilometers on a full tank of fuel.
