What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2012 Bora?
2 Answers
2012 Bora has a total of 12 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine and comes with two transmission options: a 5-speed automatic transmission, all adopting front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. In the same class, the 2022 Lavida has a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, while the 2021 facelifted Excelle GT Classic has a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automakers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space remaining from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space 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 refueling amount may exceed the marked 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 nearing F means sufficient fuel.
The 2012 Bora has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, which is quite practical. For my daily commute, a full tank can last over 600 kilometers, with fuel consumption around 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, working out to less than 0.5 yuan per kilometer. The fuel filler cap is conveniently located on the right rear of the car. Remember not to wait until the fuel gauge lights up red before refueling; it's better to fill up when there's about a quarter left to protect the fuel pump's lifespan. On long highway trips, the 55-liter capacity allows for 7 to 8 hours of continuous driving without stopping, but in hot summer weather, avoid filling the tank completely to leave room for fuel expansion, which is safer.
