What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2021 Sylphy?
3 Answers
The 2021 Sylphy has fuel tank models with capacities of 50L and 47L. This data is announced by the car manufacturer, and owners who have purchased the 2021 Sylphy can also check it on the car's configuration sheet. The Sylphy is a compact sedan under Nissan, with main models including the 2021 Classic 1.6XE Manual Comfort Edition, 2021 Classic 1.6XL Manual Luxury Edition, 2021 1.6L-XE-CVT Comfort Edition, 2021 1.6L-XL-CVT Intelligent Edition, 2021 Classic 1.6XE-CVT Comfort Edition, and 2021 Classic 1.6XL-CVT Luxury Edition. The 2021 Classic 1.6XE Manual Comfort Edition, 2021 Classic 1.6XL Manual Luxury Edition, 2021 Classic 1.6XE-CVT Comfort Edition, and 2021 Classic 1.6XL-CVT Luxury Edition have a 50L fuel tank; the 2021 1.6L-XE-CVT Comfort Edition, 2021 1.6L-XL-CVT Enjoy Edition, 2021 1.6L-XL-CVT Intelligent Edition, and 2021 1.6L-TOP-CVT Luxury Edition also have a 50L fuel tank. The 2021 Sylphy uses 92-octane fuel. Taking the 2021 Sylphy Classic 1.6XE Manual Comfort Edition as an example, with an average fuel consumption of 6.75L/100km, a full tank can run for 50÷6.75×100＝741 kilometers. Similarly, the 2021 Sylphy Classic 1.6XL Manual Luxury Edition can run 751 kilometers on a full tank, the 2021 Sylphy 1.6L-XE-CVT Comfort Edition can run 692 kilometers, the 2021 Sylphy 1.6L-XL-CVT Intelligent Edition can run 700 kilometers, the 2021 Sylphy Classic 1.6XE-CVT Comfort Edition can run 719 kilometers, and the 2021 Sylphy Classic 1.6XL-CVT Luxury Edition can run 712 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity varies by model, and even similar models from different brands have different capacities as there is no national standard. Generally, a full tank can run over 500 kilometers. For example, a car with 10L/100km consumption usually has a fuel tank capacity of around 60L. Road conditions affect mileage and fuel consumption. Heavy traffic with frequent stops and starts increases fuel consumption. The warning light can only roughly indicate the fuel tank capacity; it is not the sole standard. For instance, when the fuel level is near the warning point, actions like high-speed driving, turning, going uphill or downhill, emergency braking, or strong vibrations can trigger the warning light. During daily driving, always monitor the remaining fuel. This is usually done by observing 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. It's advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel might exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's marked capacity is from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, with additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel expansion due to temperature rise doesn't cause overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked capacity. Fuel tank usage precautions are as follows: Do not wait for the yellow light to refuel. Before driving, check the fuel gauge and calculate whether refueling is needed based on the trip distance and gauge reading. Refuel in advance; don't wait for the fuel light to come on. The fuel pump is located inside the tank and operates at high temperatures, which are mitigated by immersion in fuel. When the fuel light is on, the fuel level is below the pump. Frequent refueling after the light comes on can shorten the pump's lifespan, and too little fuel may even burn out the pump. Refuel in the morning or evening. Timing is crucial. Generally, temperatures are lower in the morning and evening, and gasoline's vaporization point is also lower, making these times ideal for refueling. Gasoline expands with heat and contracts with cold and is charged by volume. At lower temperatures, gasoline's density is higher, increasing mass per unit volume, resulting in more fuel per refill. In urban driving, avoid filling the tank completely. City driving involves frequent stops and starts, and a full tank increases engine load and fuel consumption. Since gas stations are easily accessible in cities, there's no need to fill the tank completely.
I've been driving the 2021 Sylphy for quite a while, and its fuel tank capacity is 41 liters. As a daily commuter car, this capacity is really suitable. Each time I fill up the tank, based on the Sylphy's average fuel consumption of 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, I can drive about 750 kilometers, which is enough for a week's commute. On the highway, the range can even increase, reducing the number of refueling stops and making it much more convenient. The fuel tank is designed to be just the right size, located at the rear of the car without affecting the trunk space. After long-term use, I find the 41-liter capacity paired with an efficient engine quite balanced—economical and practical. When refueling, I always make sure to check if the fuel cap is tightened to avoid leaks. Overall, this capacity is very friendly for family cars, being both cost-effective and safe.
The 2021 Sylphy's standard 41-liter fuel tank demonstrates thoughtful engineering considerations. Positioned near the rear axle, it maintains center of gravity balance to enhance handling stability. This 41L capacity matches the fuel efficiency characteristics of the 1.6L engine, delivering approximately 700km of combined range while avoiding the weight penalty of an oversized tank. When selecting this size, Nissan optimized fuel system reliability through measures like simplified pipeline routing to reduce maintenance complexity. For a family sedan, the 41L tank strikes an ideal balance between space efficiency and cost-effectiveness, reflecting Nissan's emphasis on practicality. In daily driving scenarios, this capacity adequately covers urban-suburban commutes without requiring aftermarket modifications.
