How much fuel is left when the Lavida's fuel gauge shows one-quarter?
2 Answers
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.
