What is the fuel tank capacity of a 2012 Cruze in liters?
2 Answers
The 2012 Cruze has a total of 8 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The vehicles are equipped with 1.6L and 1.8L naturally aspirated engines, as well as a 1.6L turbocharged engine. All models come with either a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, or 6-speed automatic transmission, and all models feature front-wheel drive. The fuel tank capacity of the 2013 Cruze is 60 liters. Starting from the 2015 model, the fuel tank capacity of the Cruze decreased: the 2015 model has 54 liters, the 2016 model has 47 liters, and the 2017 and 2018 models have 52 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, and when it is near 'F', it means the fuel level is sufficient.
I remember the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze had a fuel tank capacity of 59 liters. As a classic model, its design emphasized fuel efficiency and long-distance comfort, effectively reducing the frequency of refueling. For car enthusiasts like me, this was quite thoughtful—a full tank could easily cover around 600 kilometers, especially during road trips, minimizing the hassle of frequent stops. If owners want to verify this data, the simplest method is to check the vehicle's user manual, which lists all specifications in detail. When refueling daily, I always remind myself not to wait until the tank is nearly empty to fill up, as this protects the fuel pump from overheating, ensuring a smoother drive and longer vehicle lifespan.
