What is the fuel consumption of the Changan Oushang X5 1.5t?
2 Answers
Changan Oushang X5 1.5t has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.0-6.3L/100km. Currently, there are 7 models of Changan Oushang X5 1.5t on sale: DCT Whirlwind Charge, DCT Flagship, DCT Hurricane Sonic, DCT Elite, DCT Premium, DCT Luxury, and DCT Tiger Roar Limited Edition, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.2L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.3-8.6L/100km. When driving, the following 5 tips can help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this will multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: When driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine speed and prevent the car from shaking during driving, making the car more fuel-efficient. By estimating road conditions and adopting slow and uniform acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be increased by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (equivalent to about 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or inspection of the vehicle: Regular oil changes can reduce carbon deposits (carbon deposits can cause poor ignition, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even cylinder misfires in severe cases); regularly check and replace the air filter when dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body at the recommended mileage. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance. The greater the wind resistance, the greater the resistance the car faces, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Changan Oushang X5 1.5T for half a year, mainly commuting in the city, with fuel consumption around 8.5 to 9L per 100 km. It occasionally goes above 10L in heavy traffic, but drops below 7L on highways, which is quite satisfying. Turning on the AC increases fuel consumption slightly by about 0.5L, especially noticeable in summer. Timely maintenance is key—after replacing the air filter and engine oil once, my fuel consumption dropped from 9.2L to 8.3L. Driving habits also matter; avoiding sudden braking or hard acceleration saves fuel. Keeping the car light helps too—don’t overload the trunk. Overall, this car is great for daily family use with reasonable fuel consumption, and I’ve never exceeded my budget when calculating fuel costs.
