What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Lavida model?
2 Answers
2017 Lavida model has a nominal fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The actual fuel tank capacity is larger than the nominal capacity. According to fuel safety regulations, national standards stipulate that the nominal capacity of automotive fuel tanks is 95% of the rated capacity. Therefore, when refueling to full capacity, it can hold approximately 10% more fuel than the nominal capacity. Below are specific details about the Lavida: 1. As a new car designed specifically for Chinese consumers, the Volkswagen Lavida maintains the excellent quality of German design while incorporating many aesthetic concepts that reflect traditional Chinese culture and cutting-edge design elements. With its forward-looking design language, the Lavida injects a sense of luxury and grandeur into the A-segment compact car category, redefining consumers' traditional impressions of the A-segment market. 2. The upgraded front fascia is one of the Lavida's highlights. The signature horizontal grille has been proportionally enlarged, and the engine hood features four prominent character lines that complement the grille, creating a sharper overall appearance and enhancing the sense of horizontal expansion. The newly designed eagle-eye-style dual-wing headlights boast a sharp silhouette, with a more three-dimensional structure inside the lamp housing. Although these design elements are not entirely new, the U-shaped LED daytime running lights stand out more prominently compared to the previous generation model.
I drive a 2017 Lavida, and the fuel tank is labeled as 55 liters. In reality, when the fuel light comes on and I fill it up, it takes just over 50 liters, leaving some reserve at the bottom to protect the fuel pump. The fuel tank is made of resin, which is lighter than steel tanks and also rust-proof. It's quite fuel-efficient on the highway, with a full tank capable of over 700 kilometers, but in city traffic with congestion, it's around 500 kilometers. Remember not to overfill the tank—stop at the click of the fuel pump nozzle, as the tank is designed with a safety space.
