What is the fuel tank capacity of the BMW X5 in liters?
1 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the BMW X5 is 83 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the BMW X5 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the BMW X5 is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 9.1 to 10.0 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 830 to 912 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no issues, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity 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 marked capacity.
