Why is the fuel consumption of Changan CC so high?
2 Answers
The reason for the high fuel consumption of Changan CC is that the car uses a relatively outdated engine technology, coupled with a larger body, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance will require increasing the fan speed and lowering the temperature to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent sudden braking: Frequent sudden braking is the main reason for persistently high car fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid turning on the air conditioning too aggressively in small-displacement cars: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in the car. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher setting without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside the car. After the vehicle has cooled down moderately, then turn on the air conditioning.
I think the high fuel consumption of the Changan CC is mainly due to its engine design and vehicle weight. The 1.5T engine delivers strong power but average efficiency, consuming a lot of fuel at low RPM in city driving. The heavy body weight and high air resistance also lead to significant fuel loss at high speeds due to wind resistance. The transmission matching is not ideal, and slow gear shifts force the engine to run at higher RPM, further increasing fuel consumption. I've tried regular maintenance, such as cleaning the air filter and switching to low-viscosity oil, which slightly reduced fuel consumption. Additionally, frequent start-stop cycles and air conditioning load also contribute to higher fuel consumption. It's recommended to check if low-resistance tires are used, as these adjustments can help lower the numbers. However, overall, the car prioritizes power performance over fuel economy.
