Why is the fuel consumption of Changan CC so high?
2 Answers
The reason for the high fuel consumption of the Changan CC is that the vehicle uses relatively outdated engine technology, combined with a larger body, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Here are some additional details: Summer air conditioning system check: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. If the air conditioning cooling effect is poor, it will increase the fan speed and lower the temperature to achieve a cooling effect. Frequent sudden braking: Frequent sudden braking is a major reason for persistently high car fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. Small-displacement cars should not have the air conditioning turned on too aggressively: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside the car. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.
I often encounter the high fuel consumption issue with the Changan CS35 PLUS, mainly because the vehicle body is quite heavy, making it feel like dragging a big load, especially when frequently starting from traffic lights in the city. A single press on the accelerator sends the fuel gauge plummeting. Additionally, the engine isn't particularly fuel-efficient, designed more for economy and practicality but lacking in power. If you often carry passengers or have a fully loaded trunk, fuel consumption naturally spikes. I recommend regularly checking the air filter and tire pressure—low pressure can significantly increase fuel consumption. Switching to a better engine oil can also improve efficiency slightly. Wear and tear on older car parts is another issue; excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs or fuel injectors can affect combustion efficiency. Overall, saving fuel depends on paying attention to your driving habits—avoid sudden braking or acceleration and try maintaining a steady speed. Over time, this can help control fuel consumption better.
