What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Jetta?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Jetta is 55 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.4L, 1.5L, or 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which 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 amount may exceed the marked 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, while proximity to 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
I've been driving a 2017 Jetta for quite some time, and it has a standard fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The size is quite practical—a full tank generally gets me around 700 to 800 kilometers, depending on my driving habits. In the city, it consumes about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, while highway driving is more fuel-efficient. I find the tank material quite durable, with its corrosion-resistant plastic shell showing no leakage issues over the years. Regular 92-octane gasoline works just fine, and refueling doesn’t take much time even during busy hours at the station. During maintenance, I always ask the mechanic to check the fuel tank cap seal to prevent contaminants from entering. Overall, the tank size is well-balanced—economical and reliable, ensuring no worries about running out of fuel on long trips.
