What is the fuel consumption per 100 km for the Changan CS75?
3 Answers
There are 3 models of the Changan CS75. The Changan CS75 2022 Blue Whale Edition 1.5T DCT Premium and Luxury models, both equipped with a 180-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100 km. The manual Elite model, also equipped with a 180-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity is the same for all Changan CS75 models. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the Changan CS75 2022 Blue Whale Edition 1.5T DCT Premium and Luxury models, both with a fuel tank capacity of 58L, the distance covered on a full tank is 58/6.5*100=892 km. For the manual Elite model, with a fuel tank capacity of 58L, the distance covered on a full tank is 58/6.2*100=935 km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. 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 the car's resistance, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during a cold start, 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, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the CS75 for two years now. As a compact SUV, its fuel consumption is quite average, typically ranging between 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. In city driving with frequent stops and starts, it might rise above 11 liters, but during highway cruising, it drops quickly and can be controlled around 8 liters. Many factors affect fuel consumption, such as whether your driving habits are aggressive—hard acceleration and sudden braking will increase fuel usage. The weight of the car and its load also play a role; when I travel with my family and the back seats are fully occupied, the fuel consumption slightly increases. Insufficient tire pressure or long periods without engine maintenance can also raise fuel consumption, so regular checks are recommended. After optimization, Changan's Blue Core engine performs decently, and combined with ECO mode driving, the annual fuel expenses aren't too high.
This CS75 is my first car, mainly used for commuting with an average fuel consumption of about 9.5L/100km. During rush hour traffic in the city with frequent stops and starts, it often rises to 11L, but drops to around 7L on highway drives during weekends, which I find quite economical. The spacious interior is praised by my family for comfort, though there's little difference between empty and fully loaded conditions. The most annoying part is the 10% fuel increase when using the AC too much. I recommend maintaining steady speeds and using cruise control on highways to save fuel. Regular oil and filter changes also help significantly. Overall, the driving experience is stable, and monthly fuel costs stay within a reasonable range.
