What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2021 Honda CR-V in liters?
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 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption ranging from 4.9 to 7.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 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 level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left 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 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 added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I drive a 2021 CR-V and specifically checked the manual—the fuel tank capacity is 53 liters. When the fuel light comes on, there's roughly 8 liters left, so it's best not to drive too far and find a gas station. For daily commuting, a full tank can easily cover over 500 kilometers, and it’s even more fuel-efficient on highways. When refueling, avoid inserting the nozzle too forcefully; overfilling can cause spills, so stop once the pump clicks off. The fuel tank release is a discreet pull-ring on the lower left side of the driver's seat—took me a while to find it when I first got the car. A tip: if you frequently take long trips, adding fuel system cleaner helps maintain the fuel lines, though Honda’s engine is already quite durable.
