What is the fuel consumption of the Changan CS85?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Changan CS85 2.0T model is 10.5L per 100 kilometers, while the 1.5T version consumes 9.1L per 100 kilometers. The following factors affect the fuel consumption of the Changan CS85: 1. Vehicle weight: The weight of the car affects fuel consumption—the heavier the car, the higher the fuel consumption. The Changan CS85 2.0T is significantly heavier than the 1.5T model, resulting in higher fuel consumption. To reduce fuel consumption, try to avoid carrying unnecessary heavy items in the car. 2. External environment: Road conditions impact fuel consumption. Generally, smooth roads consume less fuel than bumpy roads, straight roads are more fuel-efficient than winding ones, and traffic-free roads are better than congested ones. In summer, hot weather increases fuel consumption due to air conditioning use. In winter, low temperatures prevent gasoline from reaching optimal combustion efficiency, leading to incomplete combustion and higher fuel consumption. 3. Vehicle maintenance: Regularly check and adjust tire pressure. Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the road, raising driving resistance and fuel consumption. Additionally, dirt and grease on the engine surface can hinder heat dissipation, increasing fuel consumption. Proper maintenance is a key method to reduce fuel consumption. Regular inspections and servicing not only lower fuel consumption but also extend the vehicle's lifespan and prevent unexpected issues.
As a CS85 owner, I've been driving the 2.0T version for nearly two years. During congested urban commutes, it typically consumes around 10-11 liters per 100km, while highway cruising can bring it down to just over 8 liters. The throttle response is lively, but it's certainly not a fuel-efficient model - especially in Sport mode where you can literally watch the fuel gauge drop. My friend's 1.5T version is much more economical, averaging about 8.5-9.5 liters in city driving. I recommend using the manufacturer's recommended fuel grade - last time I used the wrong grade, not only did the power become sluggish but it also burned an extra half liter. During a weekend mountain trip with the family when I installed a roof box, the fuel consumption jumped to 13 liters - the wind resistance impact was quite noticeable.
