What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2018 Bora?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2018 Volkswagen Bora is 55 liters. Fuel Tank Capacity: The actual capacity of the fuel tank is slightly larger than the nominal capacity. According to fuel safety regulations, the nominal capacity of a car's fuel tank is set at 95% of the rated capacity by national standards. Therefore, when the tank is filled, it can hold about 10% more fuel than the nominal capacity. Bora Configuration: The Bora is equipped with a 1.4TSI turbocharged engine from the EA111 series, produced by FAW-Volkswagen's Dalian engine plant. This engine has been used in various Volkswagen models such as the Golf, Lavida, Sagitar, Magotan, and Octavia. The Volkswagen 1.4TSI engine delivers a maximum power of 96 kW at 5,000 rpm and a peak torque of 220 N·m between 1,750-3,500 rpm, surpassing the output of a conventional 2.0L naturally aspirated engine.
Driving the 2018 Bora for these years, I clearly remember the fuel tank capacity is 50 liters, as I've calculated it multiple times when refueling myself. This capacity design is quite practical, with an average fuel consumption of around 6 liters. For city commuting, I only need to refuel once a week. On long trips, a full tank can cover 500 kilometers without worry, but it's best not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel, as it can damage the car and be dangerous. The fuel tank is located on the lower right side, and the fuel filler cap has good sealing, making maintenance simple. Compared to other compact cars like the Corolla, which also has around a 50-liter tank, the Bora strikes a good balance without taking up too much space. When refueling, it's best to choose high-quality fuel to avoid impurities accumulating and affecting the tank's lifespan. Understanding these details before buying a car greatly enhances daily driving convenience, and fuel consumption habits also impact the actual range.
