What is the fuel tank capacity of the BYD S6 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the BYD S6 2014 2.0L Manual Luxury 7-seater is 72L. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. In the same class, the BYD S6 2014 2.0L Manual Luxury 5-seater also has a fuel tank capacity of 72L, while the JAC Refine S4 2020 1.5T Manual Freedom model has a fuel tank capacity of 50L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
The experience of driving the BYD S6 is really great. Its fuel tank capacity is 72 liters, which is a standard size for SUVs. For my daily commute, if the distance isn't too far, filling up once a month is enough, saving both time and effort. It's even more advantageous for long-distance trips—after a full tank, it can easily cover around 700 kilometers, making family trips worry-free without the hassle of refueling midway. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages 10L per 100 kilometers, which isn't too high. When refueling, it's recommended to fill up when there's about a quarter of the tank left to avoid damaging the fuel pump. I've noticed that the fuel tank is designed quite reasonably, not affecting the trunk space, balancing both practicality and comfort. Developing good driving habits, such as smooth acceleration, can further optimize fuel efficiency.
