What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2021 Lavida?

2021 Lavida has a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, which is the officially announced data. The 2021 Lavida TSI version requires 95-octane gasoline, while other versions use 92-octane. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers ranges from 5.5 to 5.6 liters. A full tank can cover a distance of 910 to 927 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level at all times. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge in the car. 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. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, 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 level. There is additional space from the safety level to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, 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.
Back when I drove a 2021 Volkswagen Lavida, its fuel tank capacity was 50 liters. A full tank allowed me to drive over 400 kilometers in the city and easily exceed 700 kilometers on long highway trips, with an average fuel consumption of 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers. For daily commuting, I only needed to refuel once a week, saving both time and expenses while avoiding frequent trips to the gas station. The tank size was quite appropriate—neither taking up too much body space nor compromising on range. I recommend not letting the tank run completely empty; keeping it at least half full helps prevent overheating and damage to the fuel pump. Occasionally checking the fuel tank cap's seal can prevent leakage issues, and filling up before long trips provides peace of mind. This design reflects Volkswagen's practical philosophy, making it suitable for families or daily commuting.
