What is the fuel consumption of the Changan CS55?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Changan CS55 is 6.5-6.6L. Below is more information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption, referred to as fuel usage, indicates the liters of fuel consumed by a vehicle over a certain distance. In China, the unit for fuel consumption is L/100Km, which represents the liters of fuel consumed per 100 kilometers. The lower this number, the better the vehicle's fuel economy. 2. Fuel consumption is typically measured through road tests. The constant-speed fuel consumption test over 100 kilometers is one of the simplest road tests. According to China's JB3352-83 standard, the road conditions for constant-speed fuel consumption tests should be: flat, dry, and clean cement or asphalt roads with a longitudinal slope of less than 0.1% and a straight section longer than 1500m.
Driving the Changan CS55 SUV, I have some firsthand experience. It's equipped with a 1.5T engine, and the official fuel consumption data is usually around 6.8 liters per 100 kilometers. However, after driving it for over two years, I rarely achieved that figure in real-world conditions. In city driving, fuel consumption can rise to 8 liters in traffic jams, while on the highway, it typically drops to 6.5 liters. Before the break-in period, consumption might be slightly higher, but later, by improving driving habits—such as avoiding sudden acceleration and maintaining a steady speed—I stabilized fuel consumption at around 7.3 liters. Vehicle load has a significant impact; when carrying family and luggage, fuel consumption surged to 9 liters. Tire pressure is also crucial—low pressure can increase consumption by about 0.5 liters. I recommend regular maintenance, including air filter and oil changes, to help control fuel consumption and save on gas costs.
