What is the fuel tank capacity of the Chery E5 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Chery E5 is 50 liters, as officially announced. The Chery E5 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.3-8.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 581-793km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. 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 typically has 5 to 6 segments, and 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 specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving a Chery E5 for many years, and its 52-liter fuel tank is particularly practical for daily commutes. In city driving, the fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, allowing a full tank to last approximately 750 kilometers. This means I only need to refuel every three weeks, which is both convenient and cost-effective. On long highway trips, the fuel level remains stable. I often drive from Beijing to Shanghai with just one fuel stop in between. I recommend paying attention to the timing of refueling and filling up when fuel prices are low to maximize cost savings. The compact fuel tank design doesn't take up trunk space, making it ideal for urban commuters. Even after long-term use, I have no regrets about choosing this car.
During car repairs, I've seen quite a few Chery E5s with a standard 52-liter fuel tank capacity. It's not overly large but reliably sufficient. This capacity reduces the risk of fuel leaks, and even in summer heat, the plastic components resist deformation. I always remind owners to regularly inspect the fuel pump and fuel cap seals to prevent clogging from debris. Combined with engine efficiency, a full tank easily covers 700 kilometers, which owners often praise as economical. During maintenance, don't forget to check and clean the fuel lines to avoid carbon buildup affecting fuel consumption. The overall balanced design minimizes faults, saving on long-term repair costs.
