What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Lavida?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Lavida is 55 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the 2017 Lavida can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2017 Lavida DSG version requires 95-octane fuel, while other versions use 92-octane fuel. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers ranges from 5.1 to 6.4 liters, and a full tank can cover a distance of 859 to 1078 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. 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, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This 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've driven the 2017 Volkswagen Lavida several times, and its fuel tank capacity is 55 liters. This is quite standard among cars in its class. A full tank of 92-octane gasoline can last for 600 to 700 kilometers, depending on whether you're driving on the highway or in congested city traffic. For daily commuting, I recommend not waiting until the fuel light comes on to refuel; it's better to fill up when there's one bar left, as it's better for the fuel pump. Also, check the fuel tank cap regularly—poor sealing can lead to fuel wastage. If you're going on a long trip, use an app to check gas station locations in advance to avoid running low on fuel on the highway. The Lavida's fuel tank design is well-balanced—it doesn't take up trunk space, nor does it guzzle fuel like large SUVs.
