What is the fuel consumption of the CS75?

[IsabelleLee]

The fuel consumption of the Changan CS75 is 6.2-6.5L/100km. The currently available models of the Changan CS75 include the 2022 Blue Whale Edition 1.5T DCT Premium, DCT Luxury, and Manual Elite versions. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is slightly lower than the actual fuel consumption, at 6.2-6.5L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.6-7.7L/100km, the Venucia T70 has 7.2-7.3L/100km, the Jetour X90 has 7.6-8.1L/100km, the Geely Boyue has 7.1-7.7L/100km, and the Roewe RX5 has 6.8-6.9L/100km. The fuel consumption of a vehicle is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. The details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light 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 to burn and perform work. Vehicles with greater curb weight also tend to have higher fuel consumption, as more torque is needed to drive them. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at lower 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 a Changan CS75 1.5T automatic for two years. The fuel consumption is quite noticeable during stop-and-go commuting traffic, showing about 10-12 liters per 100 km with AC on in summer. It's quite fuel-efficient on highway trips during weekends, maintaining around 7 liters. The car has spacious interiors but weighs nearly 1.7 tons, making frequent starts and stops in city traffic really fuel-consuming. I'd suggest developing the habit of anticipating road conditions and avoiding sudden braking; keeping tire pressure around 2.4 can save some fuel – my tests showed low tire pressure increases consumption by nearly 1 liter. Also, fuel efficiency slightly improved after the first maintenance, now averaging just over 9 liters combined, which is standard for mainstream compact SUVs.

The fuel consumption of the CS75 varies by model: the mainstream 1.5T 2WD version averages 8-9L/100km, easily dropping below 7L/100km on highways. The 1.8T 4WD version consumes more fuel, with 11-13L/100km being normal in urban areas. Engine technology plays a crucial role—the new-generation Blue Whale 1.5T with 350bar high-pressure direct injection is more efficient, saving about 0.8L/100km compared to older models. I often study fuel efficiency under different road conditions and find that maintaining a steady 60km/h on expressways yields the best economy, reaching just over 6L/100km. Driving habits significantly impact consumption; frequent hard acceleration can easily increase fuel use by 10%, while switching to Eco mode improves efficiency noticeably.

I've been driving my 2023 1.5T automatic luxury edition for half a year. During the initial break-in period, the fuel consumption was around 11 liters, and now it has stabilized at about 9.5 liters. The most surprising part is the highway fuel efficiency - during the Dragon Boat Festival long trip with AC on, it only consumed 7.2 liters. For daily commuting, I recommend using the auto start-stop function to save some fuel at red lights. The car has a 55-liter fuel tank, and I use 92-octane gasoline, which lasts about two weeks for city commuting. A friend suggested that 95-octane gasoline might improve performance, but there's no significant change in fuel consumption. After the first maintenance with full synthetic oil, the engine runs smoother and the fuel consumption dropped by about 0.3 liters.

The new CS75 has indeed made progress in fuel consumption control. Feedback from old owners indicates that the previous 1.5T model consumed 11 liters in urban areas, while the new Blue Core 1.5T can reduce it to 9-10 liters. Sales staff often encounter customers inquiring about fuel consumption, and here's a suggested approach: opt for the 1.5T two-wheel drive if highway driving dominates; consider the 1.8T four-wheel drive if frequently carrying full loads or climbing hills, but expect about 15% higher fuel consumption. Key factors affecting fuel consumption are often overlooked, such as a 6% increase in fuel consumption for every additional 100 kg of load; using air conditioning at maximum settings consumes an extra liter of fuel. Tires also play a significant role—the factory-installed quiet tires are the most fuel-efficient, while switching to off-road tires can increase consumption by 0.5 liters.

In the car owners' group, we collected real fuel consumption data for the CS75: the 1.5T automatic version averages 8.5-10.5L/100km, while the manual version is 0.5L lower. The 2.0L version generally exceeds 10L/100km. One owner tested that using AC increases consumption by 1.1L compared to not using it, while winter heating has little impact. On highways, setting cruise control at 100km/h yields the best fuel economy, with the dashboard showing as low as 6.8L/100km. The 6AT transmission is well-tuned, providing smooth low-speed shifts without the excessive fuel consumption of some dual-clutch transmissions. It's recommended to clean the throttle body every 30,000km - vehicles with severe carbon buildup may see fuel consumption spike by 15%.
