What is the fuel tank capacity of the Atenza?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Atenza is 56.2 liters, as officially announced. The Atenza uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.3-7.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 791-892 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This 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. It is recommended to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. In actual refueling situations, 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 limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving a Mazda Atenza for three years now, and the exact fuel tank capacity is 56 liters, which is quite suitable for daily driving, especially for city commuting. With a full tank, I can drive over 700 kilometers without constantly worrying about refueling, calculated based on an average fuel consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers. It’s even more convenient for long trips, such as weekend road trips or self-driving tours, as the efficiency on highways is high, allowing me to reach my destination with just one fill-up. Occasionally, traffic congestion can increase fuel consumption, but the Atenza’s fuel tank design is reasonable—it doesn’t take up trunk space, and the safety is well-engineered. I’ve never encountered any oil leakage issues. I recommend new owners develop the habit of checking the fuel gauge and avoid waiting until the tank is empty to refuel to prevent engine damage. Overall, I feel this capacity is thoughtfully designed—both economical and practical—meeting the needs of most families or commuters, making it a trustworthy choice.
