The fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Bluebird is 52 liters. The Nissan Bluebird is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with dimensions of 4683mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1465mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a top speed of 185 km/h, equipped with a CVT transmission. The 2018 Bluebird 1.6L Manual Fashion Sound Edition also has a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters. The 2019 Bluebird 1.6L Manual Fashion Edition (China VI) has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the rated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the rated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, and when it is near 'F', it means the tank is nearly full.
The 16th-generation Bluebird has a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, which I find quite reasonable. After years of driving, I've noticed that 52 liters is sufficient for a family car to handle regular commutes, such as daily trips to work or short journeys. A full tank can last over a week, reducing the need for frequent gas station visits. On highways, based on my experience, a full tank can cover around 650 kilometers, which is quite convenient. It's advisable not to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling; topping up a bit earlier helps protect the fuel pump. Consistently driving on an empty tank may also damage the system. In daily car maintenance, regularly checking the fuel tank cap's seal prevents leaks or evaporation waste—a habit that can save money and ensure safety. Overall, the 52-liter capacity strikes a good balance between convenience and economy.
