Is the kerb weight of the Changan X5 affecting its acceleration o r fuel economy in daily Pakistani driving conditions?

Heavier SUVs often have reduced performance o r mileage. Do you feel the vehicle feels sluggish o r consumes more fuel due to its weight?

Yes, the heavy kerb weight over 1,500 kg slightly affects initial acceleration, especially in stop-and-go traffic. Coupled with the turbocharged engine, the fuel consumption increases in urban conditions. Most users report an average of 8–9 km/l, which is below the claimed figures.
