What is the fuel consumption per kilometer for the Changan Oshan X7?
3 Answers
Changan Oshan X7 has a total of 9 models. Among them, the 2021 1.5T manual Luxury, Comfort, and Elite models are equipped with a 178 horsepower engine, consuming 0.07L per kilometer. The 2021 1.5T automatic Navigation, Geeker, and Premium models, among six others, are equipped with a 178 horsepower engine, consuming 0.074L per kilometer. The fuel tank capacity of the Changan Oshan X7 is 55L. The distance each model can travel on a full tank is as follows: 2021 1.5T manual Luxury, Comfort, and Elite models can travel 55/0.07=785km on a full tank. 2021 1.5T automatic Navigation, Geeker, and Premium models, among six others, can travel 55/0.074=743km on a full tank. 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 displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. 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 and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
I bought a Changan Oshan X7 last year and have been driving it mostly in the city. The fuel consumption is generally around 9 liters per 100 kilometers, equivalent to 0.09 liters per kilometer. On the highway, it can drop to 7 liters per 100 kilometers. Driving habits have a significant impact—if you frequently accelerate hard or brake suddenly, the fuel gauge shoots up. For daily commuting, driving about 1,000 kilometers a month costs around 600 yuan in fuel. Regular maintenance is crucial; replacing old air filters and spark plugs can improve efficiency significantly. Last week, due to heavy traffic, fuel consumption temporarily spiked to 10 liters, but it stabilized again once normal road conditions resumed. Playing some music and driving smoothly not only saves fuel but also makes the ride more comfortable.
The 1.5T engine of Changan Oshan X7 provides sufficient power, with an official combined fuel consumption of 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which translates to 0.085 liters per kilometer. The turbocharging technology helps save fuel at low RPMs, and the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission ensures smooth gear shifts, reducing power loss. In actual driving, avoid keeping tire pressure too low as it increases rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Using air conditioning in summer may increase fuel consumption by about 1 liter, while the heater in winter has a smaller impact. It's recommended to download a fuel consumption tracking app to record each refueling for long-term accuracy. Regular maintenance, such as checking the fuel system and cleaning carbon deposits, keeps the engine running smoothly and maintains stable fuel consumption.
