What is the minimum fuel consumption of the Changan CS35?

[DelRyder]

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Changan CS35 is 6.8L per 100 kilometers. Additional information: 1. High-efficiency and energy-saving engine: The CS35 is equipped with a Bluecore high-efficiency energy-saving engine, featuring a DVVT dual variable valve timing system. This system increases torque by 3-8N•m at low speeds and improves power output by 4% without increasing fuel consumption, achieving both driving pleasure and economic environmental benefits. 2. STT intelligent fuel-saving system: The advanced idle start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when in neutral and restarts it when moving, reducing fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, and engine noise while being energy-efficient and eco-friendly. 3. 5MT transmission: The efficient five-speed manual transmission provides quicker acceleration, smoother gear shifts, and excellent fuel economy with high transmission efficiency. 4. Multiple fuel-saving technologies: Smart generator + OAD technology adjusts the generator's output based on battery charge to reduce fuel consumption. The OAD pulley buffers vibrations from vehicle movement and engine resistance torque, further saving fuel.

I specifically checked the manufacturer's data on this issue. The most fuel-efficient version of the Changan CS35 is the 1.6L manual transmission model, with an official combined fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. Last time I met an owner, Lao Zhang, who said he could achieve just over 7L/100km on suburban roads, but in the city, it goes up to around 9L. The automatic transmission version consumes about 1L more. To save fuel, you need to learn to press the accelerator gently, avoid sudden braking, keep the tire pressure from being too low, and avoid carrying too much unnecessary stuff in the car. The most extreme case I've seen was someone who drove with windows open and no air conditioning, achieving 6.5L/100km, but this method is really uncomfortable in summer.

I've studied the energy consumption performance of several CS35 series models. The 1.6L naturally aspirated manual transmission version has the lowest fuel consumption, with MIIT test cycle showing 6.8L/100km. However, in actual usage, transmission type makes a significant difference - automatic transmissions typically consume 10%-15% more due to mechanical losses. Additionally, engine technology is crucial. The CS35 uses DVVT (Dual Variable Valve Timing) combined with electronic throttle control, making it considerably more fuel-efficient than older models. If opting for the newly released 1.4T version, while horsepower is increased, it actually consumes more fuel in stop-and-go city traffic, with the turbocharger's advantage only becoming apparent during long-distance driving.

My neighbor Uncle Wang drives an older manual transmission CS35 with a daily commute of 40km. He refuels very regularly - adding 200 yuan worth of 92-octane gasoline each time the fuel light comes on, which lasts him about 380-400km. This works out to approximately 7.5L per 100km. On weekends when he takes the family on outings, his dashboard has shown as low as 6.3L/100km on highways. However, the last time I rode with him, I noticed the trunk was packed with fishing gear including foldable oars and an inflatable boat - naturally pushing consumption up to 8L under such load. After five years of ownership, he mentioned noticeably higher fuel consumption compared to when the car was new.

Besides driving habits, there are three mechanical factors that significantly impact fuel consumption: First is maintenance - a dirty throttle can increase fuel usage by 0.5-1 L/100km, and spark plugs with excessive gaps lead to incomplete combustion and higher consumption. Second are tires - wider tires create more resistance, and underinflated tires feel like driving with the brakes on. Finally is vehicle weight - the top trim with panoramic sunroof weighs 80kg more than the base model, equivalent to carrying an extra adult year-round. Experienced car owners regularly clean oxygen sensors and maintain smooth intake/exhaust systems, which saves considerable fuel in the long run.
