What is the fuel tank capacity of the Changan Eado V5 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Eado V5 2012 1.5L Manual Sport National IV model is 45L. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension type is MacPherson strut independent suspension, and the rear suspension is an H-type torsion beam non-independent suspension. In the same vehicle class, the Kia Pegas 2020 1.4L Automatic Comfort Sunroof version has a fuel tank capacity of 43L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automakers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space remaining from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This 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 refueling amount may exceed the marked 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 approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means sufficient fuel.
I'm quite familiar with the Changan Alsvin V5. Its fuel tank capacity is 45 liters, which is quite practical for young people. For city commuting, the fuel consumption is around 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can cover nearly 700 kilometers, making it suitable for weekend trips or daily commutes without frequent refueling. In terms of design, the fuel tank is positioned low for better stability at high speeds, preventing the car from feeling floaty. The fuel system is equipped with an electronic fuel gauge, which provides accurate readings but may occasionally malfunction, so regular checks are advised. When refueling, it's recommended to use 92-octane gasoline to prevent carbon buildup. If the car is left unused for long periods, avoid storing it with a full tank to prevent fuel oxidation. Overall, the 45-liter capacity offers great value for money in the compact car segment. If you're considering buying one, you might also want to try installing a fuel gauge app for real-time monitoring of remaining range, which can enhance driving confidence.
