What is the fuel consumption of the CS75?
2 Answers
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) comprehensive fuel consumption for the 2018 Changan CS75 1.5T model is: 6.5 (L/100km), and for the 2018 Changan CS75 1.8T automatic four-wheel drive model, it is: 8.8 (L/100km). Fuel consumption measurement methods: Tests can be conducted on the road or on a chassis dynamometer, and then the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is calculated using the "flow meter method" or the "carbon balance method." The fuel consumption test method for passenger cars uses speeds of 90km/h and 120km/h; for commercial vehicles, the test starts at 20km/h, with speeds selected in multiples of 10km/h up to 90% of the maximum speed, and at least 5 test speeds are measured. Methods to save fuel: Different driving habits can affect a car's fuel consumption. During driving, frequent rapid acceleration or deceleration can increase the car's fuel consumption by 5%-10% compared to normal conditions.
I've been driving the Changan CS75 1.5T automatic version for two years and find its fuel consumption quite reasonable overall. For daily commuting in the city, the average fuel consumption is about 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, rising above 10 liters when stuck in traffic, especially with the air conditioning on during summer. But it's much more economical on highways, where I've managed to get it down to around 7 liters. Among SUVs in its class, this car's fuel efficiency is about average. The key to saving fuel lies in driving habits—avoid slamming the accelerator, ease off the gas early to coast, and try to maintain a steady speed. Additionally, regular maintenance like checking tire pressure and engine lubrication can also help save on fuel costs. I estimate that for pure city use, monthly fuel expenses would be around six to seven hundred yuan, with savings of about a hundred yuan if more highway driving is involved. Overall, it's a practical choice for daily commuting.
