Can the Avancier's fuel tank be upgraded to 75 liters?
2 Answers
It is not possible to upgrade to a 75-liter fuel tank. The Avancier is a mid-size SUV equipped with either a 1.5-liter turbocharged or a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. It comes with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive systems. The official combined fuel consumption provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology ranges from 7.3 to 8.3 liters per 100 kilometers, so the original fuel tank is perfectly adequate. More details are as follows: 1. Model Overview: The Avancier is the flagship model of GAC Honda. It boasts an excellent body size but did not follow the trend of the two-child policy by introducing a 7-seater version; instead, it maintains a 5-seater layout, resulting in a rear passenger space that puts competitors to shame. Currently, there are 9 available models, 4 of which feature a CVT transmission. 2. Dimensions: The Avancier comes in two size variants. Five models have a length of 4858 mm, a width of 1942 mm, and a height of 1670 mm. The other four models have the same length (4858 mm) and width (1942 mm) but a slightly taller height of 1675 mm. All models share a wheelbase of 2820 mm. Currently, the vehicle is only available with 5 doors and 5 seats, which is generally sufficient for most families.
As a friend who frequently works on cars, I'd advise caution regarding the modification of the Avancier's fuel tank to 75 liters. The factory standard is around 57 liters, and space is limited—it's challenging to fit a larger tank under the chassis without custom parts. The modification requires disassembling many components and could affect weight balance and safety systems. A full tank might also degrade the vehicle's dynamics. Safety-wise, an oversized tank increases pressure, risking fuel pump and valve failures, and raises the chance of leaks. Legally, China's traffic regulations are strict; unauthorized modifications may violate rules and affect annual inspections. Costs aren't low either, starting at several thousand yuan, including labor and testing fees. For extended range, carrying an auxiliary tank in the trunk or planning fuel stops for long trips is more cost-effective. Vehicle designs are well-considered; reckless modifications can cause issues. If you must proceed, consult professional institutions for evaluation.
