Which is More Fuel-Efficient: Changan Oushang or Wuling Hongguang?

Wuling Hongguang is more fuel-efficient compared to Changan Oushang. However, actual fuel consumption is influenced by many factors and requires comprehensive consideration from multiple aspects. The main factors affecting a car's fuel consumption include driving habits, road conditions, engine displacement, tire pressure, and natural environment. Here is a method to calculate fuel consumption: Calculate fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed. 1. Fill up the car's fuel tank until the pump automatically stops, and record the current mileage. 2. The next time you refuel, fill up until the pump automatically stops again, and record the amount of fuel added. 3. Calculate the distance traveled since the last refueling and determine the fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed.

I used to work in long-distance freight and have driven both models extensively. The Wuling Hongguang averages about 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, with its engine tuned for economy—it stays just over 6 liters on highways when empty and under 8 liters when loaded. The Changan Oushang has more aggressive power output, but its urban fuel consumption often exceeds 7.5 liters in traffic, with highway performance slightly higher. In terms of fuel efficiency, the Hongguang clearly leads, making it ideal for small businesses or family trips—not only does it save on fuel, but its maintenance is straightforward and affordable, as long as you don't skimp on tires and oil. Driving habits also play a big role: avoiding sudden acceleration and maintaining steady speeds can squeeze out extra mileage per liter. Based on experience, the Hongguang is truly economical.

Having worked in an auto repair shop for years, I've encountered numerous car owners complaining about fuel consumption. The Wuling Hongguang equipped with the S-TEC engine features an optimized injection system for complete combustion, delivering an actual average fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km. While Changan Oushang's BlueCore technology is efficient, its slightly heavier vehicle weight and higher aerodynamic drag result in urban fuel consumption often exceeding 7L. Multiple factors affect fuel efficiency: proper tire pressure reduces friction, regular maintenance like cleaning air filters prevents clogging, and frequent carbon deposit treatment can lower consumption. Hongguang's lightweight design contributes significantly, being cost-effective too – purely in terms of numbers, Hongguang wins by a margin.

Our family used the Oushang as a daily driver for several years, and later switched to the Hongguang, which feels much more fuel-efficient. The Hongguang consumes about 7 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and can drop to around 6 liters in the suburbs, saving us dozens of yuan on fuel each month—great for saving up to buy toys for the kids. The Oushang had comfortable seats but a heavy throttle response at startup, and it hurt the wallet when fuel consumption exceeded 8 liters. The Hongguang offers more space, making it easier to pack luggage, but don’t skimp on the right fuel grade, and be sure to check it regularly. If you really want to save money, the Hongguang is the better choice, especially for short, stop-and-go trips like daily school runs.
