The fuel tank capacity of the Song PLUS 2020 1.5T Automatic Luxury model is 60L. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). 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 vehicle class, the fuel tank capacity of the Ford Territory 2021 SEcoBoost 145 CVT Zhiling Light is 52L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it indicates sufficient fuel.
I found that the BYD Song Plus DM-i has a fuel tank capacity of 71 liters, which is quite practical for a hybrid vehicle. As an owner who has been using it for nearly two years, I can drive over 1,000 kilometers on a single tank for daily commutes and weekend trips, so I don’t have to visit gas stations frequently. The average fuel consumption is around 4.5L/100km, which is both cost-effective and eco-friendly. For long-distance trips, like driving from Shenzhen to Guangzhou and back, I only need to refuel once, which is incredibly convenient. I recommend using 92-octane gasoline when refueling and not filling it to the brim to avoid overflow. Regularly check and tighten the fuel cap to prevent dust from entering. Over long-term use, the tank’s anti-corrosion material performs well, even in winter. Overall, this large fuel tank design makes travel more flexible, saving both time and effort.
