What is the fuel tank capacity of the BYD Han?

The fuel tank capacity of the BYD Han hybrid version is 48 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the BYD Han hybrid version can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The BYD Han hybrid version uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 1.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 3,429 km. 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 only 2 segments remain 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 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 is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
The BYD Han plug-in hybrid model typically has a fuel tank capacity of around 48 liters, which I personally find to be a very thoughtful design. The size of the fuel tank directly impacts the vehicle's range and weight balance. The 48-liter capacity, combined with the efficient hybrid system, allows the car to easily exceed 1,000 kilometers on a full tank and full charge. For my daily commute, the battery is usually sufficient, and I only use fuel for long-distance trips. Whether driving in the city or on the highway, the fuel consumption remains stable at around 5 liters per 100 kilometers. For example, a one-way trip to Hangzhou doesn’t even require refueling. The fuel tank is located at the rear of the chassis, and the fuel filler is easy to find—it only takes a few minutes to fill up. I’ve tested it on long trips, driving 800 kilometers non-stop with fuel to spare, avoiding the hassle of stopping to refuel. This design avoids the extra burden of an oversized fuel tank, making the car more agile to handle.
I drive a BYD Han PHEV with a 48-liter fuel tank. Each full refill costs about 300 yuan and can cover over 1,000 kilometers. For daily commuting, I mostly use electricity, consuming very little fuel. I remember once on a business trip from Shanghai to Beijing, I only needed to refuel twice, saving a lot of time and money on gas. The fuel tank is made of anti-corrosion material, preventing leaks or odors. The long range is my favorite feature, giving me peace of mind on long trips. For pure city use, I might only need to refuel once a month. I recommend using the app to monitor fuel levels to avoid running out midway. The hybrid system automatically switches to electric mode in traffic jams, saving even more fuel.
As someone who frequently drives off-road, the BYD Han Hybrid's 48-liter fuel tank is just right. A full tank provides a range of 1,000 kilometers, reducing the need to find gas stations on the road, which is safer. The fuel tank is durable and can handle various road conditions. Regularly checking fuel levels and tire pressure is a basic habit. The hybrid's fuel consumption is low, about 5 liters per 100 kilometers, making it cost-effective. Compared to other SUVs that consume around 8 liters, it saves money and offers peace of mind.
