What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2021 CR-V?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2021 Honda CR-V is 53 liters, as officially announced by Honda Motor. The 2021 Honda CR-V requires 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption ranging from 4.9 to 7.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 726 to 1081 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the remaining fuel. 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 mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to a safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
The 2021 CR-V I drive has a 57-liter fuel tank, which is quite a suitable size. For daily commuting in the city, the fuel consumption is around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can last about 700 kilometers, so refueling once a week is sufficient. It’s most enjoyable during long-distance road trips, as the highway fuel consumption is even lower. Driving from Beijing to Shijiazhuang and back doesn’t require refueling midway, which is very convenient. Remember not to overfill the tank and ensure the fuel cap is tightly sealed to prevent leaks or evaporation losses. If stuck in traffic with frequent stops and starts, the fuel consumption increases slightly, but the overall range remains reliable. Compared to some SUVs in the same class, like the Toyota RAV4 with only a 55-liter tank, this advantage becomes evident in daily use. During maintenance, check the fuel pump and filter screen to keep them clean, which can extend their lifespan. Over time, I’ve noticed that the fuel tank size directly affects convenience, especially in winter with more cold starts—this capacity is truly reassuring. By the way, during the first year of a new car, it’s advisable to avoid low-quality gasoline and choose reputable gas stations to prevent clogging the fuel injectors, making maintenance easier.
