What is the fuel consumption of the second-generation Changan CS55?

[SanTheo]

The fuel consumption of the second-generation Changan CS55 is 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Related content about car fuel consumption is as follows: Methods to reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed; apply gentle acceleration and braking, and brake early; maintain tire pressure at the manufacturer-recommended level and regularly organize the trunk. Fuel consumption usage precautions: Plan your route before driving, check traffic conditions, and try to avoid roads prone to congestion; maintain a steady speed while driving; unstable driving speed can increase fuel consumption by approximately 6% in suburban areas and 2% in urban areas; avoid carrying unnecessary items in the car to reduce vehicle weight.

I drive a Changan CS55 2nd Generation Blue Whale Edition, which I picked up last year. The official data claims a combined fuel consumption of 6.5L, but in reality, it's quite different. My daily commute during rush hours in the city with heavy traffic and air conditioning on can push the fuel consumption up to around 9L. On weekends when I take the highway, it's more fuel-efficient, usually just over 7L. If I drive gently, avoid sudden braking, I can keep it around 8.3L. I recommend checking the fuel consumption statistics on the dashboard—measuring it yourself is the most accurate. In the same car owner group, some report 8.5L, while others get 7.8L; it really depends on road conditions and driving habits. The 55-liter fuel tank is quite practical, and filling up gives me confidence for long trips without much stress.

Last month, I drove my brother's second-generation CS55 on the Western Sichuan loop route specifically to test its fuel consumption. The car is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. At a constant speed of 120 km/h on the highway with the air conditioning on, the fuel consumption was 7.2L. On winding mountain roads like National Highway 318, it rose to 8.8L, especially consuming more fuel uphill. Back in the city for daily commuting, the long-term average shown on the dashboard is 8.1L. It's recommended to use the Eco mode, which can be switched via the driving mode button on the center console, saving about 0.5L compared to Sport mode. Regular 92-octane fuel is sufficient; there's no need for 95. When fully loaded with luggage and four passengers, expect an additional 0.3L consumption, and it's best to maintain tire pressure around 2.3.

Fuel consumption isn't something that can be explained by a single number. The official NEDC figure for the CS55 second generation is 6.5L, but actual measurements are most affected by three factors: first, traffic congestion - more traffic lights mean higher fuel consumption; second, load - every additional 100kg increases consumption by 0.3-0.5L; third, driving style - frequent hard acceleration can add 1L. My 20km commute with 14 traffic lights averages 8.3L long-term. The smart energy-saving system in the car can help save fuel, though air conditioning adds to the load. Remember to change the air filter regularly - a clogged one also increases fuel consumption.

Having driven the second-generation CS55 for over two years, I deeply understand the significant relationship between fuel consumption and maintenance. After the first maintenance, I clearly felt the fuel consumption stabilized, now averaging 8L per 100km over 80,000 kilometers. It's recommended to check tire pressure monthly; low tire pressure can increase fuel consumption by 0.5L. Opt for 5W-30 full synthetic oil, as semi-synthetic oil noticeably makes the engine work harder. Last time, when the air filter wasn't changed for 5,000 kilometers, fuel consumption suddenly increased by 0.8L. Replace spark plugs with original parts on schedule, as ignition efficiency directly affects fuel consumption. Use cruise control more often on downhill slopes; letting the computer control is more fuel-efficient than manual acceleration. Cleaning carbon deposits in the engine bay is also effective—before cleaning the carbon deposits accumulated over two years, fuel consumption was 0.7L higher.

Commuting daily on Beijing's Third Ring Road makes me an authority on this car's fuel consumption. During rush hours with an average speed of 20 km/h, the displayed fuel consumption is uncompromisingly 9.2L. However, off-peak hours tell a different story: leaving at 6 AM with speeds around 50 km/h drops consumption to 7.6L; late-night driving under optimal conditions can reach 7L. Using auto start-stop in traffic saves at least 0.3L, while shifting to neutral in automatic transmission doesn't save fuel. Setting AC at 26°C saves about 0.2L compared to 20°C, and recirculation mode is more efficient. Avoid overloading the trunk - every extra 50kg increases consumption by 0.2L. I recommend installing the Xiaoxiong Fuel Consumption APP for precise calculation of fuel costs per driving phase.
