How many liters of fuel does a Sagitar need for a full tank?
3 Answers
The Sagitar requires approximately 50 liters for a full tank. Taking the 2021 Sagitar as an example, its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with dimensions of 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm and a trunk capacity of 553 liters. The 2021 Sagitar is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116 HP, a maximum power of 85 kW, and a maximum torque of 175 Nm. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, with a unibody construction.
I usually commute with my Sagitar, and a full tank is about 50 liters. The 2023 model has a fuel tank capacity of exactly 50 liters. However, when actually refueling with the dashboard warning light on, the pump usually stops at 48-49 liters because manufacturers reserve safety space to prevent fuel expansion. In theory, you could fill up to 52 liters if you completely empty the tank, but never do this—it damages the fuel pump! A full tank can last about 700 km on highways and over 500 km in the city. I prefer to refuel when a quarter of the tank remains, as it’s better for the engine. Always check for gas station discounts when refueling—price differences for 95-octane fuel can save you a meal’s worth of money. The fuel cap has a label recommending 95-octane. Mixing in 92-octane occasionally in emergencies is fine, but long-term use affects performance.
When talking about cars, people often ask about the fuel tank capacity of the Sagitar. The current models all have a nominal capacity of 50 liters. However, the actual refueling volume depends on the model year, with older versions possibly having 55 liters. From an engineering perspective, the fuel tank features a multi-layer explosion-proof design, with a 10% expansion space reserved at the top. Therefore, the actual maximum refueling volume is around 47 liters before the pump automatically stops. This design is quite scientific, preventing gasoline overflow in hot weather. When refueling, be mindful not to force more fuel after the pump automatically stops, as gasoline entering the carbon canister can damage the evaporation system. For range calculation, a 50-liter tank with a fuel consumption of 6L per 100 kilometers can cover over 800 kilometers, but in city traffic with congestion, the actual range is about 20% less. Regular refueling is crucial for fuel pump cooling, and I make it a habit to check the fuel tank cap's seal every month.
