Compared to the Changan CS75, the Haval H6 has higher fuel consumption. Below are the reasons for the Haval H6's higher fuel consumption and an introduction to the CS75: Introduction to the CS75: The Changan CS75 is a compact SUV positioned between the CS55 and CS95. It is equipped with the Bluecore series of engines. In terms of power, the Changan CS75 offers two engine options: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power output of 158 horsepower, and a 1.8L turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 177 horsepower and a peak torque of 230N·m. Reasons for the Haval H6's higher fuel consumption: The vehicle is relatively heavy, with wider tires to improve traction. The engine is tuned for performance rather than fuel economy. Fuel consumption of the Haval H6: The theoretical fuel consumption is 9.4L/100km; the average real-world fuel consumption is 11.3L/100km in urban areas with air conditioning on, 10.6L/100km in urban areas without air conditioning, and 9.9L/100km on suburban roads.
I have driven the Haval H6 and the Changan CS75, both of which are quite common. In daily driving, the Haval H6 tends to have higher fuel consumption in city traffic; driving it for 10 kilometers in the city might use over 1 liter of fuel. The Changan CS75 is slightly more fuel-efficient under the same conditions, using about half a liter less. The reason might be that the H6 is slightly heavier, close to 1.7 tons, while the CS75 is lighter, and its engine is a bit more efficient. However, the difference is minimal on highways, with both vehicles able to maintain fuel consumption around 8 liters. To save fuel when driving an SUV, it's recommended to use cruise control more often and avoid sudden acceleration. Regular maintenance also affects fuel efficiency; for example, a dirty air filter can increase fuel consumption by 5%.
