What is the fuel tank capacity of Changan Oushang?
2 Answers
The 2022 Changan Oushang model X5 has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters across all variants. The entire lineup is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). All vehicles in the series feature a front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2021 Song model has a fuel tank capacity of 63 liters, the 2021 Haval M6 PLUS has 55 liters, and the 2021 Haval First Love has 53 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automobile manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level 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 amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F indicates sufficient fuel.
The fuel tank capacity of the Changan Oushan model typically ranges from 50 to 55 liters, depending on the specific variant. For example, the Oushan X7 generally has a 55-liter tank, while the Oushan X5 is around 50 liters. As a long-time owner, I find this design quite reasonable, as it balances both range and vehicle weight—neither too heavy to affect handling nor too small to increase refueling frequency. For city driving, the average fuel consumption is about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, meaning a full tank can cover over 600 kilometers, which is sufficient for my weekly commute. However, it's important to note that different configurations may vary slightly. When choosing a car, it's best to check the official manual or consult the 4S store for accurate details, as fuel tank size directly impacts driving convenience. Don’t just focus on the exterior and overlook practical details.
