What is the fuel tank capacity in liters for the Chery A3 hatchback?
2 Answers
The Chery A3 hatchback offers a total of 15 models, classified as compact cars, all featuring a fuel tank capacity of 57 liters. It is equipped with five types of engines: 1.6L 126HP L4, 1.8L 132HP L4, 1.6L 126HP L4, 2.0L 139HP L4, and 1.6L 119HP L4. The transmission options include CVT continuously variable transmission, 5-speed manual, and 4-speed automatic manual. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity. Fuel tank maintenance includes the following: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the tank, and check for oil leaks at the fuel pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air and vapor valves, ensure that the ventilation holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler neck should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from spilling out while driving.
I have been driving a Chery A3 hatchback for three years, and its 50-liter fuel tank capacity is very practical for daily city driving. For example, during my regular commute, the average fuel consumption is about 7 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank allows me to drive approximately 700 kilometers, so I only need to refuel once a week. On weekends, when I occasionally take trips to the suburbs, I don’t have to stop midway to refuel, which feels very convenient. For a car of this size, a 50-liter fuel tank is well-designed—it’s not too large to increase weight and fuel consumption, nor too small to require frequent refueling, which would waste time and money. If you’re also considering buying this model, remember to regularly check the fuel tank cap’s seal to prevent leaks or contaminants from entering. Overall, the 50-liter fuel tank makes daily travel much easier and more convenient.
