How many liters of fuel can an Audi A3 hold in one tank?
2 Answers
The Audi A3 can hold 55 liters of fuel in one tank. The body adopts lightweight design and aluminum materials, and is powered by multiple engines including 1.4TFSI and 1.8TFSI. The front suspension of the Audi A3 chassis is MacPherson type, and the rear axle is a torsion and crank structure with separately arranged springs and shock absorbers. The length, width, and height of the Audi A3 are 4292mm, 1765mm, and 1423mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2578mm. Among vehicles of the same class, the fuel tank capacity of the Audi A3 2022 Sportback 35TFSI Progressive Sport model is 51L, and that of the Audi A3 2022 A3L Limousine 35TFSI Progressive Sport model is also 51L. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safety space. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel in the tank, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it means the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel is sufficient.
As a long-term owner of an Audi A3, I drive the standard version with a fuel tank capacity of around 50 liters. For daily commuting in the city, the fuel consumption is about 8L/100km, and a full tank can last over 600 kilometers. I think this is quite important because frequent refueling can be annoying. I usually refuel when the fuel gauge shows 1/4 left to protect the fuel pump from damage. Additionally, there might be minor differences in different model years of the A3, such as the sport version having a 5-liter larger tank, but overall, it doesn’t affect daily use. During winter driving, fuel consumption tends to be slightly higher, so tank capacity should still be planned according to personal habits for trips.
