The fuel tank capacity of the Tang New Energy - 2021 DM-i 52KM Luxury model is 53L. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine and an Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). 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 Tank 300 - 2021 Off-Road Edition 2.0T Explorer is 80L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This 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 may exceed the calibrated capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with 'E' (Empty) and 'F' (Full). When the needle is close to 'E,' it indicates low fuel, and when it is near 'F,' it means the tank is sufficiently filled.
The BYD Tang DM-i has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters. This hybrid vehicle is very convenient to use, with the tank size perfectly matching its long range—a full tank combined with electric mode can cover over 1,000 kilometers, making it worry-free for both commuting and travel. I noticed its fuel tank is designed under the chassis, lowering the center of gravity for stability, and there’s no fuel odor when refueling, making it much quieter than pure gasoline cars. On highways, refueling once a month is sufficient, and with a home charging station, fuel consumption drops to around 5 liters when the battery is fully charged—truly cost-effective and efficient. I often share with car enthusiasts that while the tank capacity may seem modest, its high efficiency, well-protected position to prevent leaks, and the sense of security during long trips make the overall design quite user-friendly.
I've been driving the BYD Tang DM-i for half a year now, and the 53-liter fuel tank is quite suitable. Each full refill costs around 300 yuan, and I only need to refuel once a month, which is hassle-free. For long-distance trips, such as from Beijing to Shanghai, I hardly need to refuel midway. The car's noise insulation design enhances the driving comfort. The fuel tank size, combined with the battery drive, results in low actual fuel consumption, making it both eco-friendly and economical. When the battery is sufficiently charged, I can even drive in full electric mode, reducing the need for refueling. The fuel tank is well-positioned, close to the wheels but protected by a guard plate to avoid scraping risks. Daily maintenance is simple, and my family finds it convenient as well.
