What is the fuel consumption of the Changan Eado II?
4 Answers
Fuel consumption is related to the driver's usual driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance status. Below is the relevant information about the Changan Eado II: 1. Exterior: The Eado has a striking appearance, showcasing a strong youthful and dynamic vibe, catering to the aesthetic needs of young people. The front face design adopts the latest family-style spindle grille, with multiple horizontal chrome trim strips adding a sense of layering. The headlights on both sides are very sharp and are connected through the central grille, stretching the horizontal visual effect of the entire front face. 2. Dimensions: The size performance is very mainstream, reaching the level of an A+ class car. The length, width, and height are 4730*1820*1505mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, fully meeting the needs of family use.
I've been driving a Changan Eado II 1.6L automatic for two years. During rush hour traffic in the city, the fuel consumption can reach 9.5L, while highway cruising can drop it to around 6.3L. The actual fuel consumption isn't as low as the official advertised 6.9L, especially with frequent stops at traffic lights which consume more fuel. Last week, I specifically tested the combined fuel consumption: 200 km in the city plus 100 km on the highway, filling up the tank before and after the trip, and calculated it to be 8.7L/100km. To save fuel, you can try using the eco mode, avoiding peak traffic hours, and not carrying too much weight in the trunk. Among cars in the same price range, this fuel consumption is average, slightly higher than the Nissan Sylphy but much better than the older Ford Focus models. Regular maintenance of the air filter and tire pressure can reduce fuel consumption by about 0.5L.
Just bought my wife a used second-generation Changan Eado with a 1.6L manual transmission. After three months of driving, I noticed a pattern: fuel consumption is around 8L/100km for pure city driving to pick up kids, but drops to 6.8L/100km on weekends when driving on national highways. Although higher than the official 6.0L/100km rating, the manual transmission is indeed more fuel-efficient—I always shift gears at 2000 RPM and coast in gear downhill. The 53L tank takes 92-octane gasoline, and a full tank lasts about 600 km before the low-fuel warning light comes on. My neighbor drives the same model with a CVT, and their fuel consumption is over 1L/100km higher than mine, showing the significant impact of the transmission. I’ve been using the Xiaoxiong Fuel Consumption app to track long-term data and found that using AC increases fuel consumption by 0.8L/100km. I recommend switching to full synthetic oil after the break-in period—engine noise reduced, and fuel consumption stabilized.
Tried my friend's 1.4T Blue Whale Edition Eado II, the displayed fuel consumption was 7.2L while the actual measurement was 7.8L. Turbocharged cars have higher fuel consumption at startup, but they are very economical after reaching 40 km/h. The engine start-stop system can save 10% fuel, but frequent starts can damage the battery. Using 95-octane gasoline makes the power smoother but costs more, resulting in higher per-kilometer costs compared to 92-octane. This car is more fuel-efficient than the older 1.6L model, especially on highways where the difference is about 1.5L. After cleaning the throttle during maintenance, the fuel consumption dropped by 0.3L.
