How many liters does a full CX5 fuel tank hold?
2 Answers
56 liters. The Mazda CX5 has a fuel tank capacity of 56 liters, and it can still run about 50KM when the fuel gauge shows empty. Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open fuel tanks and closed fuel tanks. Here are the relevant introductions about fuel tanks: 1. Open fuel tank: In an open fuel tank, the liquid level is connected to the atmosphere, and an air filter is installed on the fuel tank cap. Open fuel tanks have a simple structure and are easy to install and maintain, making them commonly used in hydraulic systems. 2. Closed fuel tank: Closed fuel tanks are generally used for pressurized fuel tanks, filled with a certain pressure of inert gas, with the inflation pressure reaching up to 0.05MPa.
I've been driving the CX-5 for several years. The fuel tank has a nominal capacity of around 56 liters, but in reality, it usually takes about 55 liters when filled to the brim due to the safety margin designed into the tank. After filling up, I calculated the fuel consumption to be approximately 8L/100km when driving a mix of highway and city routes, allowing me to go up to 700 kilometers. Last time I took the kids on a countryside trip, I didn't have to worry about running out of fuel at all. I recommend not always waiting until the tank is nearly empty to refuel; keeping some reserve helps protect the fuel pump and filtration system. Personally, I make it a habit to top up when the fuel gauge shows half full, which not only extends the lifespan of these components but also ensures safety. If you're doing it yourself, just refer to the vehicle manual or set reminders on the app—it's quite hassle-free.
