What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Sportage?
1 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Sportage is 58L. This data is officially released, and owners of the 2019 Sportage can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2019 Sportage comes in two variants with different engine displacements. The model equipped with a 1.4T engine uses 92-octane fuel, has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.3L/100km, and can travel up to 920km on a full tank. The model equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine also uses 92-octane fuel, has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km, and can travel up to 840km on a full tank. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually 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 typically 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 safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level 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 added may exceed the marked capacity. In addition, the following factors can affect a vehicle'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 reduced fuel consumption, while a higher drag coefficient increases fuel consumption proportionally. Tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases friction and adhesion, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Aggressive acceleration, frequent braking, and rapid starts 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 uneven or steep roads increases fuel consumption. Use of additional electronic devices: Operating extra equipment like the air conditioning while driving increases fuel consumption.
