What is the fuel tank capacity of the BYD S7 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the BYD S7 is 72 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the BYD S7 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The BYD S7 uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 7.5-8.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 837-960 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 other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added 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 safe limit. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I've been driving a BYD S7 for several years with a 62-liter fuel tank. A full tank can easily cover over 500 kilometers on highways without issues. I remember last year's road trip to Yunnan - one tank lasted the whole journey without frequent gas station stops, which was really convenient. I recommend using 92-octane gasoline as it's sufficient, and a full tank typically lasts a week for daily commuting. If you often take long trips, keep some emergency water in the trunk in case of traffic jams. Also, it's best to refuel when the gauge shows 1/4 remaining - don't wait for the warning light as it may damage the fuel pump. Always check tire pressure while you're at it - safety comes first.
