How much fuel can the Trumpchi GS8 hold at most?
2 Answers
Trumpchi GS8 can hold up to 65 liters of fuel. There are 12 models of the Trumpchi GS8 2022 series, with fuel tank capacities of 65 liters and 58 liters. It comes with a 2.0T engine and offers two transmission options: automatic and continuously variable transmission (CVT). The engine's maximum power is 185.0 kW, and the maximum horsepower is 252 PS. Among them, the Trumpchi GS8 2022 Dual Hybrid Series 2.0TM 4WD Premium Edition (7-seater) has a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. The Trumpchi GS8 2022 Pilot Series 2.0TGDI 4WD Ultimate Edition (7-seater) has a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters. The Trumpchi GS8 2022 Dual Hybrid Series 2.0TM 4WD Premium Edition (6-seater) has a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified 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 inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be larger than the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, 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 running low, and when it is close to F, it indicates sufficient fuel.
I've been driving the GAC GS8 for over a year now, mainly using it for school runs and short trips. Its fuel tank capacity is approximately 70 liters. I usually stop refueling when the pump automatically clicks off, as overfilling can actually harm the vehicle and potentially clog the fuel tank cap's vent. With the 70-liter tank in my daily driving, averaging 10 liters per 100 kilometers, I can travel about 700 kilometers on a full tank—enough for several round trips from home to the suburbs, which is quite convenient. It's even more practical for long-distance travel; a single fill-up can last a whole day without frequent stops for gas. I also recommend regularly checking the fuel tank cap's seal to prevent leaks or water ingress, ensuring the car stays in good condition and maintains stable range. Filling up the tank costs around 400 to 500 yuan, so it's wise to budget more when fuel prices are high. Regular engine maintenance is key to keeping fuel consumption low and costs economical.
