What is the fuel tank capacity of the BYD Surui?
2 Answers
The BYD Surui has a total of 3 models, with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, and all models use a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). Among vehicles in the same class, the 2021 Buick Excelle has a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters, and the 2020 Buick Excelle has a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit level, and there is still some space from the safe limit level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. If the owner wants to check the remaining fuel level, they can observe the gasoline gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
The fuel tank capacity of the BYD Surui is generally around 50L, depending on the specific model year. I previously drove a 2014 1.5L manual transmission model, and the official data indicated a 50-liter capacity. In practice, you can fill it up with about 47-48 liters, leaving some space for the fuel pump cooling, which is normal. Compact sedans like this typically have similar tank capacities; for example, the Emgrand also has a 50L tank. A full tank can cover over 500 kilometers, but the actual range depends on road conditions and driving habits. Before long trips, it's best to check your vehicle's manual, as hybrid versions may have smaller tanks.
