What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2011 Volkswagen Lavida in liters?
2 Answers
2011 Volkswagen Lavida has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. Concept of fuel tank capacity: Fuel tank capacity (L) refers to the size of the fuel tank, measuring a vehicle's ability to hold fuel. The fuel tank capacity determines the driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the one with a larger fuel tank can travel farther. Unit of measurement for fuel tank capacity: The international standard uses L (liters) as the unit of measurement for vehicle fuel tank capacity. Different countries also have corresponding standards for fuel tank capacity. Relationship between displacement and capacity: Depending on the engine displacement, vehicles with higher fuel consumption have larger fuel tanks, while those with lower fuel consumption have smaller ones. Generally, fuel tank capacity is designed to allow a driving range of 400-600 kilometers. Lighter vehicles with smaller displacements have correspondingly smaller fuel tanks, while heavier vehicles with larger displacements naturally have larger fuel tanks. However, the maximum distance on a full tank is mostly between 400-600 kilometers. Typically, compact cars have fuel tank capacities of 35-45 liters, while mid-size cars have capacities of around 55-75 liters.
I drove a 2011 Volkswagen Lavida for several years. It has a 55-liter fuel tank, and a full tank could last over 700 kilometers, with even better fuel efficiency on highways. My usual refueling habit was to fill up when a quarter of the tank remained, avoiding overheating the fuel pump by running it dry, which helps extend its lifespan. Regularly cleaning the fuel tank and fuel system to prevent impurity buildup is crucial for car maintenance. Overall, the car is highly reliable, whether for city commuting or long-distance trips, and its fuel tank size is comparable to similar-class cars like the Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic, making it both practical and economical.
