What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Excelle?
2 Answers
2016 Excelle has a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters, which is the official data. The 2016 Excelle uses 92-octane gasoline with a fuel consumption of 5.6 to 5.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can run for 745 to 785 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge in the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when there are 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is still some space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be larger than the marked tank capacity.
I remember when I drove the 2016 Excelle, the official specification stated a 44-liter fuel tank. But in practice, it was quite interesting—when the fuel light came on and I went to refuel, I could often fill up around 47 liters. The mechanic said fuel tanks are designed with a safety margin. For daily city commuting, a full tank could last around 320-330 kilometers, while on the highway, the range could extend by an additional 70-80 kilometers. It's advisable not to wait for the fuel warning light during long-distance trips; topping up at service areas when possible is a good idea, especially since this model doesn’t have a large tank. Proper fuel planning can save a lot of hassle. Keeping a bottle of fuel additive in the car is also recommended, as older cars are prone to carbon buildup in the fuel system.
