2 Answers
Changan Oshan X7 has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, which is the officially announced data. The fuel grade for Changan Oshan X7 is 92, with a fuel consumption of 7 to 7.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 743 to 786km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank at all times. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. 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 from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow from the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity.
I've been driving the Changan Oshan X7 for a while now, and its 55-liter fuel tank capacity is quite practical, reducing range anxiety on long trips. I can make round trips from Xi'an to Chengdu without refueling, covering over 500 kilometers on a full tank, depending on road conditions and driving habits. For daily city commuting, filling up once a week is sufficient, with fuel consumption around 8L/100km, which is quite economical. The fuel cap is sturdy and well-sealed, minimizing the risk of leaks, but it's still advisable to regularly inspect the fuel filler neck and keep it clean. If the car is parked for extended periods, avoid leaving the tank empty for too long to prevent sediment buildup. Overall, the 55-liter capacity is ideal for a family SUV, offering both cost savings and peace of mind.
