What is the fuel tank capacity of the CS55 in liters?
2 Answers
The CS55 is equipped with a 1.5L 156 horsepower engine across all eight models, all featuring a fuel tank capacity of 58L. This data is officially released by the automobile manufacturer, and owners who have purchased the Changan CS55 can also verify it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. Toyota CHR uses 92-octane fuel. Among its models, the 1.5T automatic Xuanzhi, Xuan Cool, Xuan Dong, Xuan Se, Xuan Cai, and manual Xuan Se versions all have a fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km, allowing a full tank to cover a distance of 879km. The 1.5T manual Xuanmu and Xuan Dong versions have a fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km, enabling a full tank to cover 892km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank constantly. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. 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 midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, with additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the specified tank capacity.
The fuel tank capacity of the CS55 is generally 58 liters, which is honestly above average for a compact SUV. I've driven many cars myself, and with a capacity like the CS55's, it's normal to achieve a range of over 700 kilometers, assuming a combined fuel consumption of 8 liters per 100 kilometers. However, in real-life conditions, fuel consumption can vary significantly—for example, it might reach 10 liters in city traffic jams, while highway cruising could drop it to 6 liters. Therefore, I recommend that owners refuel when the gauge shows about a quarter left, rather than waiting until it's nearly empty, to avoid overheating the fuel pump. Additionally, the fuel tank is made of engineering plastic, which is durable and lightweight, but over time, the sealing rings should be checked for aging—I once ignored this and ended up with a minor leak, costing me some repair money. Always use unleaded 95-octane gasoline from reputable stations and avoid cheap, off-brand fuels that could harm the engine. Overall, the 58-liter capacity is very practical, balancing daily commutes and long-distance travel.
