What is the fuel tank capacity of the BYD Yuan?
2 Answers
BYD Yuan 2017 offers 5 models with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, and features front-wheel drive. Among vehicles in the same class, the Baojun RS-3 2022 has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, the Soueast DX3 2022 also has a 45-liter tank, while the KAMIQ 2022 comes with a 52.8-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by automakers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, leaving some space between the safety level and the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel expansion due to temperature increases does not cause overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the nominal 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, while nearing F means the tank is nearly full.
Well, I've been driving the BYD Yuan Pro for a while now. It has a 45-liter fuel tank, and a full tank gets me about 800 kilometers because I drive gently, with fuel consumption around 5.5L/100km. In the city, I only need to refuel every two weeks—it’s both convenient and cost-effective. For long trips, a full tank lets me drive from Shanghai to Anhui without stopping for gas. Compared to other compact SUVs like the Haval H6, which has a 60L tank, the BYD Yuan’s tank is smaller but more fuel-efficient, making it better for daily commutes. I’ve also noticed the fuel tank design is quite safe, with minimal risk of leaks, though I recommend checking the fuel cap seal regularly to prevent contaminants from getting in.
