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 fuel, while other versions use 92-octane fuel. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers ranges from 5.5 to 5.6 liters, and 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 in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside 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, and it is advisable to refuel when there are 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. 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, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I've been driving the 2021 Lavida for almost two years now, with a 51-liter fuel tank. I remember paying special attention during the first refueling—it cost over 300 yuan to fill up. For daily commuting in the city, one fill-up per week is sufficient, while a full tank can last over 600 kilometers on long trips. The fuel tank opening is well-designed to prevent splashing, though the pump nozzle occasionally clicks off when refueling a cold engine. The trunk space complements the fuel tank nicely without compromising storage. Remember to use Sinopec's 92-octane gasoline for smoother power delivery, and avoid private gas stations to prevent carbon buildup. Among compact cars, this capacity is above average—larger than the Sylphy's but smaller than most American cars.
