How many liters per segment does the Tiida fuel gauge indicate?
2 Answers
Each segment on the Tiida fuel gauge represents 12.5 liters, and its total fuel tank capacity is 50 liters. The Tiida is a compact car introduced by Dongfeng Nissan, with body dimensions of 4393 mm in length, 1766 mm in width, and 1539 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700 mm, a trunk capacity of 435 liters, a ground clearance of 167 mm, and a curb weight of 1180 kg. The Tiida is equipped with a 1.6L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 90 kW at 6000 rpm. Its front suspension features a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been driving a Tiida for five years, with an 8-segment fuel gauge where each segment averages around 6.25 liters, totaling a 50-liter fuel tank. However, I've noticed a particularly interesting phenomenon in actual driving: the first segment is exceptionally durable, capable of covering over 100 kilometers in the city due to the tank's wide-top-narrow-bottom design, which slows the descent of the fuel float. The last three segments drop rapidly, especially when the last segment is down to about 5 liters, triggering a red warning light on the dashboard. I make it a habit to refuel when three segments remain to avoid damaging the fuel pump. Last month, I tested it on the highway; with cruise control, each segment could cover 80 kilometers, but in traffic jams, the efficiency dropped by 30%. I recommend not focusing on each segment's fuel level but instead paying attention to the remaining mileage indicator for more practical use.
