What is the fuel consumption of the Changan Uni-T?
2 Answers
There are 9 available models of the Changan Uni-T. Among them, the 2022 1.5T flagship model, sport version flagship model, premium model, luxury model, and sport version luxury model—5 models equipped with a 188 horsepower engine—have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.1L per 100km. The 2022 2.0T navigation model, luxury model, sport version luxury model, and sport version navigation model—4 models equipped with a 233 horsepower engine—have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity is the same across different models of the Changan Uni-T. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 188 horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.1L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 55L, allowing a distance of 55/6.1*100=902km on a full tank. For models equipped with a 233 horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 55L, allowing a distance of 55/6.7*100=821km on a full tank. Automobile fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle when approaching traffic lights can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Changan UNI-T for half a year now. The 1.5T engine in this car delivers quite low fuel consumption during highway driving, maintaining around 7L/100km. However, during morning and evening rush hour traffic in the city, it spikes to 9-10L per 100 kilometers. My habit is to avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking, driving as smoothly as possible, which saves a considerable amount of fuel. Tire pressure also needs regular checks, kept around 2.3Bar, as even slightly lower pressure can increase fuel consumption. The UNI-T's transmission tuning is decent, but frequent gear shift discomfort can affect overall fuel efficiency. Monthly fuel costs add up to about three hundred yuan, which is economical for an SUV, but to save money, it's still necessary to choose appropriate routes to avoid congested areas.
