What is the fuel consumption of the Changan CS95?
2 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption of the Changan CS95 is 8.9-10.3L/100km, while the actual fuel consumption is around 10-13 liters. The following factors affect fuel consumption: 1. The vehicle itself: The vehicle's own weight, body shape, and engine thermal efficiency are three key technical factors related to fuel consumption. 2. Road conditions: Driving in urban conditions increases fuel consumption by about 20% compared to driving on test tracks. The biggest factor affecting fuel consumption in urban driving is frequent starts, stops, gear shifts, acceleration, and deceleration caused by traffic congestion. Driving on poor road surfaces also increases fuel consumption.
I just came back from a long-distance trip in my Changan CS95. The official fuel consumption is labeled at 8.9L/100km, but honestly, it's completely different in city driving. During morning and evening rush hours, it easily exceeds 12L, and if you turn on the AC, it can drink another half a liter. However, it's quite fuel-efficient on the highway—cruising at 90 km/h can bring it down to around 9L. I recommend developing the habit of anticipating road conditions while driving; easing off the throttle and slowing down in advance saves much more fuel than slamming on the brakes. Also, check the tire pressure regularly. Last month, I noticed the tires were a bit low, and after filling them up, I got an extra 30 km out of a full tank. With a 68-liter fuel tank, under normal commuting conditions, you basically only need to refuel every two weeks.
