What is the fuel tank capacity of the Chery E5 in liters?
3 Answers
Chery E5 fuel tank capacity is 50L. The introduction of the fuel tank and its capacity are as follows: Fuel tank introduction: Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while medium-sized cars have a fuel tank capacity of about 55-75 liters. A full tank usually allows a driving range of about 500 kilometers. The size of the fuel tank depends on the car's displacement and fuel consumption; cars with higher fuel consumption have larger tanks, and those with lower fuel consumption have smaller tanks. The design of a car's fuel tank volume generally allows for a driving range of 400 to 600 kilometers. Lighter cars with smaller displacements have correspondingly smaller fuel tank volumes, while heavier cars with larger displacements naturally have larger fuel tank volumes. However, the maximum driving range on a full tank is mostly between 400 to 600 kilometers. Fuel tank capacity: International standards use L (liters) as the unit of measurement for car fuel tank capacity. Different countries also have corresponding standards for car fuel tank capacity. In China, the regulation stipulates that the car fuel tank capacity should be 95% of the rated value, but in practice, the actual capacity is usually larger than the nominal capacity, so there's no need to worry about the car fuel tank being smaller than actual. Nowadays, many car fuel tank capacities are manufactured according to their brand models, so some countries do not have strict regulations on car fuel tank capacity. Vehicles with very high fuel consumption are designed with larger fuel tank capacities by the brand, while models with lower fuel consumption have smaller fuel tank capacities.
My old Chery E5 has been in use for six years, and its fuel tank is quite capacious. The official specification is 55 liters, but in reality, it can hold around 58 liters when refueling. The experienced gas station attendant mentioned that fuel tanks are designed with some extra capacity. During my daily commute in the city, after the fuel light comes on, I usually fill up about 47 liters, which gives me a range of nearly 500 kilometers. It's particularly reassuring to have a full tank before a long trip, like driving from Beijing to Jinan without needing to stop midway. However, it's important not to let the tank run too empty. The manual specifically emphasizes leaving some fuel to protect the fuel pump, a detail that's quite significant.
Last time I took my bestie's Chery E5 on a road trip, I didn't believe the gas station attendant when he said the tank capacity was 55 liters. But when we tested it on the highway after the fuel light came on, we managed to fill it with 52.3 liters, and the dashboard range immediately jumped to 550 km. With three of us girls in the car, we only stopped once at a service area the entire trip. Running the AC and fully loaded with luggage, the fuel consumption was 7.2L/100km. On the way back, I paid special attention to the refueling amount—it fluctuated around 48 liters in city driving. Later, I checked the manual and realized it's quite rare for a compact car to have a 55-liter fuel tank, no wonder there was a bit of sacrifice in trunk space.
