There are currently 9 models of the Haval Big Dog available for sale. The fuel tank capacity for the four-wheel-drive version is 60 liters, while the two-wheel-drive version has a 61-liter fuel tank. This data is officially released by the manufacturer, and Haval owners can also check it on their vehicle's configuration sheet. The Haval Big Dog requires 92-octane fuel. The four-wheel-drive version has a fuel consumption of 8L per 100 kilometers, allowing a range of approximately 750km on a full tank. The two-wheel-drive version consumes between 6.9L to 7.2L per 100 kilometers, providing a range of 847km to 884km on a full tank. While driving, it's important to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. Most fuel gauges have 5 to 6 segments, and it's advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel during your journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because manufacturers specify the tank capacity from the bottom to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked capacity.
The standard fuel tank capacity of the Haval Big Dog SUV is 60 liters. Based on my driving experience, this size is quite reasonable. For daily commuting, a full tank can last for about 500 to 600 kilometers, depending on driving habits and road conditions. For example, in urban traffic jams, the fuel consumption is higher, and the tank may not last as long, so it's important to plan refueling times to avoid running out of fuel. It's recommended to use high-quality gasoline to protect the engine, and regular inspection of the fuel system to prevent clogging from impurities is also key to maintaining the tank's health. For long trips, filling up in advance can reduce the need for mid-journey stops and improve travel efficiency. Overall, this design is quite practical, balancing convenience and economy.
