What is the fuel tank capacity of the BYD Song?

The fuel tank capacity of the BYD Song is 63 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the BYD Song can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The BYD Song uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 7.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 851 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, 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 midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, with additional space left between the safe limit and 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 tank capacity.
I've been driving the BYD Song for quite some time, and I'd like to talk about its fuel tank. Mine is the Song Pro model, with a roughly 50-liter fuel tank, which feels quite practical for daily use. For example, commuting to work only requires refueling once a week, and short trips don't require frequent stops at gas stations. Finding the fuel tank capacity is straightforward: just check the vehicle manual or the small label on the side of the passenger door—it's clearly stated there. I think the capacity is well-designed, and with an average fuel consumption of 7-8L per 100 kilometers, a full tank can cover about 600 kilometers, even with the air conditioning on in summer. Also, a reminder: don't wait until the fuel warning light comes on to refuel, as this can cause the fuel pump to suck air and potentially fail. Just check the fuel system during regular maintenance. Overall, the 50-liter fuel tank makes car ownership more worry-free, and it's easier to calculate costs even when fuel prices rise.
