What is the fuel tank capacity of the Baojun 510?

The fuel tank capacity of the Baojun 510 is 45L. The size of the fuel tank measures a vehicle's ability to carry fuel, and the fuel tank capacity determines the driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the larger the fuel tank, the farther the car can travel. The Baojun 510 is a small SUV launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling, targeting young consumers. It is equipped with a 1.5L DVVT naturally aspirated engine. In terms of dimensions, the Baojun 510 measures 4220mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1625mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm. Exterior-wise, the Baojun 510 features a distinctive split headlight design, with LED daytime running lights connected to the large front grille. The main headlights are positioned on either side of the grille, while the rear features conventional halogen tail lights.
I have deep experience driving the Baojun 510 on long trips. The car has a 45-liter fuel tank, as clearly stated in the manufacturer's specifications. Last time, I drove from Kunming to Dali, and after filling up before departure, I drove 420 kilometers before the fuel light came on. That works out to just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite fuel-efficient. Remember not to force-fill the tank to 50 liters when refueling—there's a safety margin space at the tank opening. For regular city driving, filling up once a week is sufficient. I recommend using fuel additives to maintain the fuel system, as carbon buildup in small-displacement engines can affect performance. The new 510 model seems to retain this tank capacity design, and as an old owner, I find it completely adequate.
As a seasoned owner of the 510 model, I know all about refueling. The fuel tank capacity is a standard 45 liters, as clearly stated on page 32 of the manual. Here's a refueling tip for new owners: when the fuel gauge shows 1/4 remaining, go fill up—it usually takes about 35 liters before the pump clicks off, which helps protect the carbon canister. Important reminder: tests show you can still drive about 50 kilometers after the fuel light comes on, but don't make a habit of it, as it affects the fuel pump's cooling. For fuel, I recommend Sinopec 92-octane—private stations are cheaper but have more impurities, which can clog the fuel injectors.
I've thoroughly researched the Baojun 510. Its 45-liter fuel tank capacity is quite generous for its class, even 5 liters more than the Honda HR-V. It's very convenient for daily use - a full tank costs just over 200 yuan. Remember to have the mechanic check the fuel cap seal during each maintenance service, as rubber deterioration can cause gasoline odor leakage. A refueling tip is to fill up in the morning during summer when temperatures are lower - thermal expansion and contraction allows you to add slightly more fuel. The fuel tank is located under the rear seats, so avoid placing sharp objects in the car.
