What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2009 Cruze?
2 Answers
The 2009 model has a 60L fuel tank capacity. Below is relevant information about the Cruze: Positioning: The Chevrolet Cruze is a new-generation model developed by General Motors with the goal of creating a benchmark in design and performance for compact cars. It integrates global resources and has been localized for production, competing in the fiercely contested compact car market. Powertrain: The new car continues to be equipped with two engines: a 1.5L and a 1.4T, with maximum power outputs of 114 horsepower and 150 horsepower respectively. In terms of the transmission system, the 1.4T model is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 1.5L model comes with either a 6-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission.
The official fuel tank capacity of the 2009 Cruze is 60 liters, which I remember clearly because I just drove this car on a long-distance trip last month. On the highway, a full tank can last about 700 kilometers, but in the city, the fuel consumption is higher, requiring a refill after roughly 500 kilometers. When refueling, it's recommended to stop once the pump automatically shuts off. The fuel tank has a safety volume, and overfilling can damage the carbon canister. Pay attention to the fuel tank material in older cars—plastic tanks are more corrosion-resistant than metal ones. The 60-liter capacity was considered average among cars in its class at the time, but nowadays, new cars generally have tanks of 70 liters or more, putting the Cruze at a slight disadvantage. It's advisable to use 92-octane gasoline and avoid cheaper, lower-grade fuel, as it's crucial for engine protection.
