What is the fuel tank capacity of a Xiali?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of a Xiali is 36 liters. This data is officially published, and owners who have purchased a Xiali can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Xiali is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 6.1-6.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 553-590 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I remember the fuel tank of my Xiali was about 40 liters. Specific models like the older Type A had 37 liters, which was later upgraded to 40 liters with the N3 model. For daily commuting, a full tank could last over 500 kilometers, which was quite fuel-efficient. The fuel tank was designed under the rear seat, which didn't affect trunk space and provided good weight distribution, making the car stable to drive. For maintenance, I recommend regularly checking the fuel tank cap's seal to prevent leaks or evaporation, which can affect fuel consumption. The tank size is moderate, so you don't have to worry about frequent refueling on long trips. Although the car is old, it's very practical.
