What is the fuel tank capacity of the BYD Song Plus in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the BYD Song PLUS is 60 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the BYD Song PLUS can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The BYD Song PLUS requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 909 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed via 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 mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added 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 fill limit. There is additional space between the safe fill limit and the tank opening, designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
As an owner of a BYD Song Plus DM-i, I have to say the fuel tank capacity is around 60 liters, which is just right for me. For daily commuting, a full tank can last for 800 to 900 kilometers, thanks to its fuel-efficient nature, with an average fuel consumption of 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers. I refuel about once every two weeks, depending on driving habits. The advantage of a large fuel tank is that I don’t have to worry about frequent refueling during long trips. For example, I can drive from Shanghai to Hangzhou and back without needing to refuel, which saves time and hassle. However, remember to use 92-octane gasoline—higher octane isn’t necessary. During each maintenance check, I also inspect the fuel tank inlet for any leaks to ensure safe driving, as the tank’s sealing is crucial for preventing evaporative pollution.
I usually enjoy researching car specifications, and the fuel tank design of the BYD Song Plus is quite reasonable, with a standard capacity of 60 liters. This size is typical for compact SUVs, similar to the 58-liter tank in comparable models like the Haval H6. The fuel tank size directly impacts overall range—if it's too small, you might need to refuel more frequently, adding inconvenience. With the Song Plus DM-i system's fuel consumption of around 5 liters per 100 km, a full tank can easily cover over 1,000 kilometers. For city driving, I only need to refuel once a week. When choosing a car, it's important to balance fuel tank size and consumption—too large a tank increases weight and affects energy efficiency. I recommend owners periodically clean fuel tank sediments to prevent impurities from clogging the fuel pump, which is simple maintenance.
