2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity for all models of the Changan Honor 2021 is 42 liters. All models are equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), with a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. In comparison, the Wuling Hongguang V 2021 has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, the Wuling Rongguang V 2019 also has a 45-liter tank, and the Foton Gratour ix5 2018 boasts a 50-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, leaving some space from the safety 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 nominal capacity. To check the remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with E and F. When the needle is near E, it indicates low fuel, while near F means the tank is full.
The fuel tank capacity of the Changan Honor is approximately 45 liters, based on my personal driving experience. When driving this vehicle in the city, a full tank can last over 400 kilometers, as the fuel consumption ranges between 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. It becomes more fuel-efficient on long-distance trips. The tank size is just right for the vehicle's dimensions—not too large to add unnecessary weight and affect fuel efficiency, nor too small to make frequent refueling a hassle. It's advisable to check if the fuel tank cap is properly sealed before refueling to prevent dust from entering and clogging the fuel lines. The fuel tank is located under the car chassis, so during maintenance, it's essential to check for any rust or wear to ensure the vehicle's safety on the road. Overall, the 45-liter tank provides sufficient range for daily commuting, offering an economical and reliable solution.
