What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Jetta?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Jetta is 55L, which is the official data. Owners of the 2019 Jetta can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2019 Jetta comes in two models with different engine displacements. The Jetta with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine uses 92-octane fuel, has a NEDC combined fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km, and can travel up to 932km on a full tank. The Jetta with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine also uses 92-octane fuel, has a NEDC combined fuel consumption of 5.7L per 100km, and can travel up to 964km on a full tank. During daily driving, it is important to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. 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 midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel 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, 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 calibrated capacity. In addition, the following factors can affect a car's fuel consumption: Vehicle weight: There is a direct correlation between vehicle weight and fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding reduction in fuel consumption. Vehicle aerodynamics: A lower drag coefficient results in significantly lower fuel consumption. Conversely, a higher drag coefficient increases fuel consumption proportionally. Low tire pressure: This increases tire friction and adhesion, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Aggressive acceleration and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption. Wind direction: Driving with a tailwind reduces fuel consumption, while driving against a headwind increases engine workload and fuel consumption. Road conditions: Driving on flat roads results in lower fuel consumption, while driving on rough or steep roads increases it. Use of additional electronic devices: Using extra equipment like the air conditioning while driving increases fuel consumption.
As someone who frequently commutes by car, I have a vivid memory of the 2019 Jetta's fuel tank size, which is 55 liters. This capacity is highly practical for daily driving since my average fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank allows me to drive nearly 800 kilometers, meaning I only need to visit a gas station about once every three weeks. Even during rush-hour traffic jams, I don't have to worry much about running out of fuel. On weekends, when taking my family to nearby attractions with round trips of over 200 kilometers, there's no need for mid-journey refueling. It's best not to overfill the tank—keeping it around 95% full helps prolong the fuel pump's lifespan. I find the Jetta's fuel tank design perfectly aligns with the rhythm of city life, being both economical and convenient. For occasional long trips, planning gas station stops in advance adds peace of mind. Overall, the 55-liter capacity makes commuting and leisure travel effortless and hassle-free.
