What is the fuel tank capacity of Changhe Q7?
2 Answers
BAIC Changhe Q7 has a fuel tank capacity of 60L. The Changhe Q7 is equipped with MacPherson independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear, with electric power steering. 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 still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which 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 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 pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
I've been driving the Changhe Q7 for quite some time now, and its fuel tank capacity is around 60 liters, which is considered medium to large among SUVs. On the highway, a full tank can last approximately 600 to 700 kilometers, which is quite convenient as it reduces the need to frequently stop for gas. In city driving, where fuel consumption is higher, refueling once a week is usually sufficient. I've seen some owners who aren't careful, leaving the fuel cap loose, which can lead to fuel leakage or dust entering, affecting the fuel pump's lifespan. It's advisable to check it monthly. Additionally, diesel vehicles require extra attention in cold weather to prevent wax from clogging the fuel lines, and keeping the fuel tank clean can help avoid engine issues. Overall, this capacity design balances practicality and economy well.
