What is the fuel tank capacity of the all-new Tucson?
2 Answers
2022 all-new Tucson has 4 models, among which the Tucson L 1.5T LUX Premium Edition N Line has a fuel tank capacity of 54L, while the others have a capacity of 52L. In terms of drivetrain, all models are front-wheel drive. In the same class, the 2021 Tharu has a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and the 2022 Qashqai has a capacity of 57 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the automaker is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. Methods to open the fuel tank: Mechanical key opening: This is usually seen in some rugged off-road vehicles. Most family cars today do not use mechanical keys for opening as it is relatively complicated. In-car switch method: The in-car fuel tank switch is located in different positions depending on the model. Some are on the floor near the driver's seat, some on the left front door panel or the center console, all marked with a fuel pump icon. However, be aware that the in-car switch can easily lead to forgetting to turn off the engine before refueling, so drivers should remember to turn off the engine before refueling. Press-to-open method: The press-to-open fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method. The driver only needs to park the car, and the fuel attendant can press to open the tank for refueling. However, when not refueling, drivers should remember to lock the central control, otherwise, the fuel tank cap can be opened.
I've been driving the all-new Tucson for almost two years now, and it has a standard fuel tank capacity of 53 liters. When filled up, it can last over 500 kilometers on the highway, which is quite worry-free. I remember my last long trip to Nanjing, where one full tank was just enough, saving me the hassle of searching for gas stations midway. If you're unsure about your car model's fuel tank size, I recommend checking the label on the inner side of the door—it usually states the exact figure. Different configurations, like the hybrid version, might have slightly smaller tanks, but 53 liters is the mainstream value. This capacity is very family-friendly, allowing over a week of city commuting without the need for frequent refueling. I also want to remind everyone not to overfill the tank when refueling—it's bad for the car and dangerous. Just leave some space at the tank opening. Overall, the 53-liter design is well-balanced, meeting both daily needs and long-distance travel.
