What is the fuel tank capacity of the Changan CS35plus?
2 Answers
The 2021 Changan CS35plus models all have a fuel tank capacity of 53L. The vehicle is equipped with two engine options: a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine. The 1.6L engine is paired with an 8-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), while the 1.4T engine is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Among vehicles in the same class, the 2022 KAMIQ has a fuel tank capacity of 52.8 liters, the 2021 Jetour X70 has a capacity of 55 liters, and the 2022 Changan Oshan X5 has a capacity of 53 liters. 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. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it indicates a sufficient fuel level.
I've been driving the Changan CS35PLUS for several years, and its 45-liter fuel tank capacity is particularly practical for urban commuting. With a daily round-trip of 20 kilometers to work, a full tank easily lasts over a week, saving me the hassle of frequent refueling. The abundance of gas stations in the city means the 45-liter capacity keeps me from worrying about range, and even higher fuel consumption during occasional traffic jams is manageable. I've also noticed the compact fuel tank design under the car, which doesn't compromise cargo space, making it perfect for grocery runs or school pickups. When choosing an SUV, balancing fuel tank size and consumption is key—this model averages about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, offering a 500-600 km range on a full tank, ideal for most families. Personally, I think an oversized tank just adds weight and fuel consumption, making 45 liters the sweet spot.
