2 Answers
The Changan CS55PLUS manual transmission model has a fuel consumption of 7.7 liters per 100 kilometers, while the automatic transmission model consumes 8.2 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Exterior: The Changan CS55PLUS is a compact SUV under the Changan brand, with dimensions of 4500mm (length), 1860mm (width), and 1690mm (height), and a wheelbase of 2650mm. 2. Powertrain: The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 225 Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5500 rpm and its maximum torque between 2000 and 4000 rpm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT).
I find the fuel consumption of the Changan CS55PLUS quite reasonable, averaging around 7.5 to 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers in daily driving. In city traffic jams, it can rise to 9 liters or more, as the SUV's weight and frequent stops at traffic lights increase fuel usage. On highways, it drops to about 6 to 7 liters due to the steady speed improving engine efficiency. After driving it for nearly a year, I've noticed that driving habits significantly impact fuel consumption—sudden acceleration and frequent braking noticeably increase it. I recommend smooth starts and using cruise control more often. Tire pressure is also crucial; checking it monthly and keeping it at the standard value can save around 0.5 liters of fuel. Running the air conditioning at high settings also consumes more fuel, so it's best to keep it at a moderate temperature in summer. Overall, for a compact SUV, its fuel consumption isn't high—a full 60-liter tank can cover over 600 kilometers in the city. Developing good habits can save a lot of money in the long run.
