What is the fuel tank capacity of the Changan CS75 PLUS?

The 2022 Changan CS75 PLUS models all have a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. The entire lineup is equipped with either a 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed or 6-speed automatic transmission (AT). All models feature front-wheel drive. In the same vehicle class, the 2021 Haval Big Dog has a fuel tank capacity of 61 liters, the 2022 Roewe RX5 MAX has a 55-liter tank, and the 2021 Tang model has a 68-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer measures from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, with additional space remaining from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing the tank. 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 instrument panel, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is near 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
Last time before taking my family's Changan CS75 PLUS on a long-distance trip, I specifically checked this issue. The car's fuel tank is labeled as 55 liters. However, I noticed a small detail during actual refueling—when the fuel light came on, I immediately went to fill up, and the pump stopped at around 52 liters, leaving some safety margin. Later, during a test run on National Highway 318, with mixed city and highway driving, it managed just over 600 kilometers. The fuel tank is designed under the rear seats of the chassis, giving it a lower center of gravity compared to the older model. When refueling, I noticed the attendant stopped the pump twice, which they said was due to the design of the vapor recovery system.
I've been driving this car for over two years. The Changan CS75 PLUS has a 55-liter fuel tank capacity. But I should remind new owners that the official 55-liter rating doesn't mean you can fill it to that amount every time - typically you can add at most 52 liters when the fuel warning light comes on. Based on my records: with urban traffic congestion consuming about 10L/100km, it can run over 500km, while on highways at 8L/100km it can cover nearly 700km. The tank is made of engineering plastic, which is said to have better rust resistance than steel tanks, though you need to be careful not to let the fuel freeze in winter.
I just helped a friend pick up the 2023 model of this car last week. The manual states that the fuel tank capacity is 55 liters. The fuel filler is located on the right side of the body, and it runs on 92-octane gasoline. My friend mentioned that with a daily commute of 40 kilometers, they basically refuel every ten days. When refueling, be careful not to let the dust cover on the filler neck get stuck—last time, I encountered a novice gas attendant who struggled to open it for a while. The fuel tank has a flat design, so the rear floor isn't very high.
