What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Sagitar?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Sagitar is 50 liters. The vehicle is equipped with either a 1.2L or 1.4L turbocharged engine, or a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, and features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. Starting from the 2017 model year, the fuel tank capacity of the Sagitar has remained unchanged. The 2019, 2020, and 2021 models all maintain a 50-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the calibrated 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 accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F indicates sufficient fuel.
I've been driving a 2017 Sagitar for a while now, and its 55-liter fuel tank capacity is quite practical among cars in its class. For me, a full tank can last around 600 kilometers, thanks to my decent driving habits with an average fuel consumption of 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. Speaking of this capacity, I find it ideal for city commuting with occasional long trips, saving time by avoiding frequent refueling. Additionally, during routine maintenance, I recommend regularly checking the fuel tank cap's seal to prevent leaks or evaporation, which could affect fuel efficiency. When refueling, don't wait until the tank is nearly empty—this helps protect the fuel pump's lifespan and extends the car's overall durability. From my personal experience, the 55-liter design strikes a good balance between space and weight, keeping the car's weight manageable while maintaining good fuel economy.
