What is the fuel tank capacity of the Changan Yuexiang V7?

The fuel tank capacity of the Changan Yuexiang V7 is 45 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the Changan Yuexiang V7 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Changan Yuexiang V7 requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 652 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the actual fuel level. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the nominal tank capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling amount may exceed the nominal tank capacity.
I used to drive a Changan Alsvin V7 for a while, and this car's fuel tank capacity is exactly 45 liters. For daily commuting or weekend family trips, a full tank can easily cover around 500 kilometers. I remember once driving from Hangzhou to Ningbo and back without stopping at a gas station. It's best to leave some margin when refueling—I usually refill when the tank is down to a quarter to avoid overheating and damaging the fuel pump. The fuel tank cap switch is located on the left side of the driver's seat, which is quite handy to use. If you frequently take long-distance trips, keep an eye on fuel consumption changes, as insufficient tire pressure or excessive carbon buildup can shorten the actual driving range.
