The fuel tank capacity of the Buick Envision 1.5t is 60 liters, as officially announced. The Buick Envision 1.5t requires 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 7.2-7.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 822-833km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. 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, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity.
I've been driving the Buick Envision 1.5T for several years with a 55-liter fuel tank capacity, which is quite reasonable for a compact SUV. A full tank gives me around 650 kilometers of range since my average fuel consumption is 7.5L/100km, making it sufficient for both urban commuting and provincial roads. My daily round-trip commute is 30 kilometers, so refueling once a week is enough, saving me the hassle of frequent gas station visits. I recommend maintaining light throttle pressure and avoiding high RPMs for steadier fuel efficiency. Always fill up before long trips—gas stations are sparse on highways and delays can be troublesome. Regularly checking the fuel tank sealing ring is crucial to prevent leaks or debris entering the fuel line; these minor issues are easily overlooked but can damage the engine. Overall, the tank design is reliable with no major problems, and the 55-liter capacity makes driving more worry-free.
As an enthusiast who often helps friends with car repairs, the Buick Envision 1.5T's 55-liter fuel tank is quite standard, similar to competitors like the Ford Kuga. For daily use, a full tank provides a range of 500-700 kilometers, depending on whether you're driving in the city or on the highway. If fuel consumption seems high, check the air filter or tire pressure. The fuel tank is positioned relatively low, so be cautious of scraping the bottom when off-roading. Listen for the sound when refueling to gauge fullness, and regularly check the fuel gauge to prevent minor malfunctions. A full tank costs around 500 yuan. Use apps to plan routes and find cheaper gas stations to save money. Avoid waiting until the fuel light comes on to refuel, as this can easily damage the fuel pump. The 55-liter capacity strikes a good balance between practicality and cost.
