What is the fuel consumption of the Changan UNI-T?
2 Answers
According to actual measurements, the tested fuel consumption of the Changan UNI-T 1.5T-7DCT is 9.8L/100km, with a range of 8.3L-11.2L. Overall, the fuel consumption performance is average, but the actual fuel consumption may vary depending on road conditions and driving habits, so specific fuel consumption varies from person to person. Additional information: 1. Generally, fuel consumption is mainly determined by the user's driving habits. Avoid prolonged idling, as idling consumes a lot of fuel. When waiting at traffic lights, you can turn off the engine and engage the handbrake, or use the auto start-stop function. On highways, try to maintain a constant speed, preferably between 60-90km/h, with the engine speed maintained at 2500-4000rpm. Regular vehicle inspections and maintenance are also recommended. Cleaning or replacing the three filters (air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter) can improve fuel efficiency, thereby reducing fuel consumption. 2. In fact, factors such as vehicle weight, tires, wind resistance, and load can also affect fuel consumption. Therefore, to achieve better fuel economy, avoid running the engine at high RPMs, and you can release the throttle to let the vehicle coast when going downhill. Replacing tires with low rolling resistance can also help save fuel to some extent.
A couple of days ago, I took my friend's UNI-T for a short road trip, and we happened to discuss its fuel consumption. The car comes with a 1.5T engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the official WLTC cycle fuel economy is rated at 6.45L/100km. However, the real-world figures show quite a noticeable difference. In stop-and-go city traffic, the display often shows over 9L/100km, and if you have a heavy foot, it can easily hit 10L. On the highway, though, it's quite fuel-efficient—with cruise control set at around 100km/h, I've seen it drop as low as 6.8L. Driving habits make a huge difference—if you're always flooring the gas or slamming the brakes, the fuel tank might as well have a hole in it. After my friend installed a roof cargo box, the fuel consumption increased by 0.8L, so modifications affect mileage more than you'd think.
