What is the actual fuel tank capacity of the Cadillac XT5?
3 Answers
Cadillac's fuel tank capacity is 82L. The fuel tank capacity (L) refers to the size of the fuel tank, which measures the amount of fuel a vehicle can carry. The fuel tank capacity determines the driving range. Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while mid-size cars have a fuel tank capacity of around 55-75 liters. Additional Information: International standards use L (liters) as the unit of measurement for car fuel tank capacity. Different countries also have corresponding standards for fuel tank capacity. In China, the fuel tank capacity is stipulated to be 95% of the rated value, but in practice, the actual capacity is usually greater than the nominal capacity.
As a long-time owner of the Cadillac XT5, I've driven it for several years. Its official fuel tank capacity is 82 liters, approximately 21.7 gallons, which is quite standard. In reality, you can only fill up to around 80 liters due to the design's reserved space to prevent fuel expansion. Avoid overfilling to prevent fuel spillage and potential damage to the vehicle. A full tank can cover 500-600 km in the city and over 700 km on the highway with more efficient driving. The average fuel consumption is 10-11L/100km. Always choose reputable gas stations for refueling, as fuel quality affects performance. New drivers are advised not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel, protecting the fuel pump. Regularly check the fuel cap's seal for simple maintenance. Remember, the tank capacity is stable and won't change unless modified, so drive with confidence.
As a young car owner, I find the XT5's actual fuel tank capacity of 82 liters very practical. When refueling, it usually fluctuates between 79-81 liters, which is related to temperature—in hot weather, the fuel expands more, so less is added. For daily commuting, a full tank lasts over a week without affecting planned trips. For long-distance road trips, the strong range suggests refueling at service areas to avoid peak queues. It uses 95-octane fuel, and I've tried different brands with minimal impact on fuel consumption. The capacity remains the same, but refueling habits matter—avoid checking the fuel gauge too often and just drive normally. The tank is made of lightweight, durable plastic with high safety, making it worry-free for daily use.
