The Lavida has 13.75L of fuel remaining when the gauge shows one-quarter. Body dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4605mm, 1765mm, and 1460mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. Color scheme: The Lavida inherits Volkswagen's consistent "dark upper, light lower" color scheme in China. However, referencing Japanese mid-size car design styles, a wood-grain trim integrating the center console is added between the two tones. Powertrain: The Volkswagen New Lavida is a compact sedan under the Volkswagen brand, equipped with three engines: a 1.2L turbocharged engine, a 1.4L turbocharged engine, and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine.

I've observed many Lavida models, and their fuel tank capacity is typically around 55 liters. When the fuel gauge shows a quarter tank remaining, this means there's approximately 14 liters of fuel left. This is just an estimate because the fuel gauge works by measuring the fuel level with a float sensor in the tank, and the irregular shape of the tank can lead to inaccurate readings—the actual amount might be between 12 to 15 liters. The longer I drive, the more I realize it's better not to wait until the fuel level is so low. If you're driving on the highway or stuck in traffic, those 14 liters might barely cover 200 kilometers, and running out of fuel midway could mean expensive and troublesome towing. Therefore, I always recommend refueling when the gauge shows a quarter tank left—it's safer and helps prevent fuel pump overheating issues. Developing a habit of regular checks makes driving much more reassuring.

I've been driving my Lavida for several years now. When the fuel gauge reaches the quarter mark, I estimate there's about 13-14 liters left in the tank. The Lavida's fuel tank capacity is 55 liters, so a quarter would be approximately 14 liters, but this isn't a fixed number – in city traffic with higher fuel consumption, there might be less remaining; on the highway with better fuel efficiency, it could be around 15 liters. I use a mobile app to record the mileage at each refueling, and sometimes I feel the fuel gauge display lags – when decelerating, the fuel sloshes forward, so what appears as a quarter might actually be slightly more. To avoid running on empty, I recommend setting a navigation reminder to refuel when the gauge hits the quarter mark, while also checking a fuel price app to find the cheapest nearby station. Don't take risks in daily driving – it's safer and more worry-free this way.

Safety first. When the Lavida's fuel gauge shows a quarter tank remaining, it's approximately 14 liters of fuel left, but don't wait until this point to refuel. With a 55-liter fuel tank, although you can still drive some distance with 14 liters remaining, you might encounter problems if the gas station is far or road conditions are poor. I've seen a friend stranded in a remote area due to low fuel, so I always refill as soon as it hits the quarter mark. The fuel pump relies on fuel for cooling, and low fuel levels can cause damage; excessively low fuel might also suck up debris and clog the engine. Pay close attention to the fuel gauge while driving—maintaining sufficient fuel is not only responsible for your car but also for your own safety.
