Dongfeng Fengxing T5 has 6 models with a 45-liter fuel tank and another 6 models with a 55-liter fuel tank. The Fengxing T5 has a body length of 4780mm, width of 1872mm, height of 1775mm, and a wheelbase of 2753mm. In terms of power, the Fengxing T5 is equipped with 1.5T and 1.6TD engines, with maximum power outputs of 90kW and 115kW respectively. The Fengxing T5 2022 Shengshi 1.6L Manual Zhumeng 5-seater, Fengxing T5 2022 Shengshi 1.6L Manual Zhuimeng 5-seater, and 4 other models have a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters; the Fengxing T5 2022 Shengshi 1.5T Automatic Yuanmeng 7-seater, Fengxing T5 2022 Shengshi 1.5T Automatic Yuanmeng 5-seater, and 4 other models have a 55-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is still some space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space is designed to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safety space. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level in the tank, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it means the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it indicates sufficient fuel.
I've driven the Dongfeng Fengxing T5, and its fuel tank capacity is approximately 45 liters. The design of this SUV's fuel tank is quite reasonable. With a full tank in city driving, it can run over 500 kilometers, depending on your driving habits and road conditions. Many people wonder why the fuel tank isn't larger. Actually, 45 liters is sufficient for a compact SUV, and a larger tank would only add weight and waste fuel. The fuel tank is located under the rear seats, with good sealing, making it less prone to rust over several years of use. For long trips, I recommend not waiting until the fuel gauge is on red to refuel; filling up at half a tank protects the fuel pump and avoids breakdowns. Remember to regularly check if the fuel cap is sealed to prevent evaporation loss. Driving this kind of car is quite worry-free, and refueling at gas stations is also convenient.
