What is the minimum fuel consumption of the Changan CS35?
4 Answers
Changan CS35 has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100 kilometers. Additional information: Efficient and energy-saving engine: The CS35 is equipped with a Bluecore efficient and energy-saving engine, featuring a DVVT intake and exhaust variable timing system. The engine increases torque by 3-8N•m at low speeds, improves power by 4%, while maintaining fuel consumption, achieving both driving pleasure and economic environmental benefits. STT intelligent fuel-saving system: Advanced idle start-stop system, neutral idle shutdown and automatic ignition when starting, reducing fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, and engine noise while being energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. 5MT transmission: Efficient five-speed manual transmission, providing quicker acceleration, smoother gear shifting, and excellent fuel economy with high transmission efficiency. Multiple fuel-saving technologies: Intelligent generator + OAD technology controls the generator's output based on battery charge levels to reduce fuel consumption; OAD pulley buffers vibrations from vehicle and engine resistance torque, further saving fuel.
I'm quite familiar with the Changan CS35, having driven it for nearly three years. The lowest fuel consumption I've achieved is around 6 liters per 100 kilometers during regular highway driving, while it typically reaches just over 7 liters in city driving. The key lies in driving habits—maintaining a steady speed and avoiding sudden acceleration and braking can significantly save fuel. I usually avoid peak hours in the morning to reduce traffic congestion, which helps keep fuel consumption around the low 6-liter range. Don't forget to regularly check tire pressure, as underinflated tires increase resistance. Also, change the engine oil as per the manual—dirty oil makes the engine work harder, and even a slight increase in fuel consumption can be frustrating. Air conditioning in summer does increase fuel consumption, so I make sure to ventilate and cool the car in the morning before heading out, which saves quite a bit.
I have personal experience with the topic of fuel consumption. The lowest I've achieved with my CS35 was 5.8L/100km, which was when cruising at a steady 80km/h on the highway. In normal city driving, if there are fewer traffic lights, it can be kept around 7L. I've done the math: saving 0.5 yuan per liter of fuel can add up to several hundred yuan in savings over 10,000 kilometers a year. Of course, maintaining good vehicle condition is crucial, like checking the air filter every three months—if it's clogged, the engine can't breathe properly and consumes more fuel. I recommend choosing gasoline with the correct octane rating when refueling, and not opting for cheap, low-quality fuel. Gradual acceleration is more economical than stomping on the throttle, and these small habits can really show results over time.
As a compact SUV, the CS35 has an official combined fuel consumption rating of around 6.5L, but I've actually managed to get it down to just under 6 liters, especially on suburban roads with less traffic. Pay attention to driving habits: maintaining a steady pace and braking less can save fuel; in chaotic urban traffic conditions, fuel consumption can easily exceed 7.5 liters. I've also noticed that keeping tire pressure at the recommended level helps; avoid overloading the car, as carrying extra weight significantly increases fuel consumption. Occasionally trying the fuel-saving mode by downshifting on highways works quite well.
