What is the fuel tank capacity of the Classic Cruze in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the new Cruze is 52 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the new Cruze can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The new Cruze requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.7 to 7.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 684 to 912 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This 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 about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed 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 marked tank capacity.
As a long-time auto mechanic, I can tell you that the classic Cruze typically has a fuel tank capacity of around 60 liters, though this may vary depending on the year and model. Older versions might hold about 55 liters, while newer models usually have a standard 60-liter tank. The fuel tank is designed near the chassis, so its sealing is crucial—any leaks or air ingress can cause malfunctions. When refueling, don’t fill past the neck; leave some space to account for expansion and prevent overflow. If the car sits idle for long periods, avoid keeping too little fuel in the tank to prevent sediment buildup. During maintenance, check the fuel line connections—if you detect a fuel odor, replace the parts immediately; safety comes first. Having repaired many Cruze models, I’ve noticed that fuel tank issues often stem from aging or collisions. I recommend inspecting it every six months to avoid the hassle of breaking down on the road.
