What is the actual measured fuel tank capacity of the Mazda CX-5 in liters?
2 Answers
Mazda CX-5 two-wheel drive vehicles have an actual measured fuel tank capacity of 56 liters, while four-wheel drive vehicles have an actual measured capacity of 58 liters. Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open and closed. They must have a sufficiently large volume. To maintain oil cleanliness, the fuel tank should have a sealed cover plate with an air filter installed on it. The bottom of the fuel tank should be at least 150mm above the ground, and sufficient attention should be paid to the anti-corrosion treatment of the inner surface of the tank. In terms of power, the Mazda CX-5 is equipped with an engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 155, paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and features front-wheel drive.
As a long-time Mazda CX-5 driver, I've tested the fuel tank capacity several times. The official nominal capacity is 58 liters, but the actual fill-up usually reaches only about 56 liters, sometimes even 54 liters when the car is cold. This isn't a vehicle issue but a deliberate design choice to leave some space to prevent fuel expansion or spillage. I've tried different gas stations, and the fuel pump pressure and refueling methods can cause a difference of about one and a half liters. I recommend not waiting until the tank is completely empty to refuel, as this can damage the fuel pump and affect driving safety. Personally, I make it a habit to refuel when the gauge shows a quarter left—this protects the engine and avoids breakdowns. Also, the actual capacity fluctuation is minor and doesn't affect range calculations; a full tank typically covers 500-600 km, depending on driving habits and road conditions.
