The fuel tank capacity of the 2015 New Jetta is 55 liters, as officially announced. The 2015 New Jetta 1.4TSI version requires 95-octane fuel, while other versions use 92-octane fuel. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers ranges from 5.8 to 6.6 liters, allowing a full tank to cover a distance of 833 to 948 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no issues, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. In actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, with additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I recall the 15th-generation New Jetta has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, which is quite practical for daily driving, especially for urban commuting. A full tank can cover around 500 to 600 kilometers, saving the hassle of frequent gas station visits. When I drive this car, I usually keep the tank at least half full to avoid fuel pump overheating and wear, and it also comes in handy for unexpected trips. I recommend owners regularly check the fuel tank cap's seal to prevent dust or debris from clogging the system and affecting fuel efficiency. Overall, the 55-liter capacity feels reasonable—it doesn’t waste space and matches the car’s fuel consumption performance well. It’s easy to maintain and suitable for urban family use.
