What is the fuel tank capacity of a Xiali in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of a Xiali is 37 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased a Xiali can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for Xiali is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 6.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 607 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I used to drive an old generation Charade hatchback with a fuel tank capacity of about 37 liters. On highways, a full tank could cover over 400 kilometers, and in the city, refueling once a week was sufficient. However, the newer sedan version has a slightly larger tank. My friend's N5 model has a 45-liter tank, which is indeed more convenient for long trips. Don't wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel, as the fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling and can easily burn out. Just fill up until the pump clicks off; overfilling can cause leaks into the charcoal canister, which is particularly troublesome to repair.
