3 Answers
The real fuel consumption of Changan Oshan X7 is about 9.51L per 100 kilometers, while its MIIT-certified fuel consumption is 7.4L per 100 kilometers. Taking the 2021 Changan Oshan X7 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4705mm, width 1860mm, height 1720mm, and a wheelbase of 2780mm. The curb weight is 1520kg. The 2021 Changan Oshan X7 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 178PS, maximum power of 131kW, and maximum torque of 265Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the Changan Oshan X7 for over a year for my daily commute, with an actual average fuel consumption of 10-11 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it can spike above 12 liters, while highway cruising can bring it down to around 8 liters. Driving habits make a huge difference – my frequent hard acceleration and braking initially led to higher consumption; after learning to anticipate road conditions and drive smoothly, I've stabilized at around 10 liters. Regular maintenance is also crucial – timely oil changes and tire pressure checks can save 0.5-1 liter. Load weight affects consumption too; mostly driving alone, my highway consumption with a full family of five drops to 7.5 liters. Note that real-world figures differ significantly from official NEDC ratings, but the onboard fuel gauge is quite accurate for daily tracking. Overall, its fuel consumption is acceptable for normal use, slightly better than comparable SUVs, but adopting economical driving techniques helps further.
As an experienced driver who frequently tests cars, the actual combined fuel consumption of the Changan Oshan X7 is around 9.5-11 liters per 100 km. In real-world testing, it achieves 7-8 liters on highways and 11-12 liters in city driving. The official claim of over 7 liters is an ideal figure, as many factors affect real-world consumption: lower tire pressure or aggressive air conditioning use can add 1 liter to the fuel consumption, while cold starts in winter also consume more fuel. Having driven many SUVs, the X7's fuel efficiency is above average—models like the Haval H6 average 11-12 liters, while the X7 is slightly more economical. Using ECO mode on long trips can reduce consumption by 0.5 liters based on tests. Overall, it's quite reliable, and regular air filter replacements help maintain efficiency. Many real-user feedbacks on online forums report an average of around 10 liters, and my own logbook shows a yearly average of 9.8 liters—key is to avoid aggressive driving to save fuel.
