What is the fuel tank capacity of the Baojun 360?
2 Answers
The 2021 Baojun 360 comes in 7 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed continuously variable transmission. All models feature front-engine, front-wheel drive. In the same vehicle class, the Wuling Hongguang PLUS 2021 has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, while the Changan Oushang Changxing 2021 has a 45-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal 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 extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the nominal tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it approaches F, it means the tank is nearly full.
As a Baojun 360 owner for one year, the 40-liter fuel tank capacity is very practical for city commuting, requiring refueling about once a week on average. For example, with my 20-kilometer round-trip commute, a full tank can cover approximately 500 kilometers, aligning reliably with the official fuel consumption of 8L/100km. When traveling with family, 40 liters is sufficient; however, I recommend not filling the tank completely to avoid waste from pump shutoff, maintaining at least half a tank to reduce fuel evaporation loss. For occasional long-distance drives, planning gas station stops in advance is advised. The 40-liter design makes the car both flexible and economical, and developing a habit of regular fuel level checks helps ensure peace of mind.
